    • Abrupt permafrost thaw triggers activity of copiotrophs and microbiome predators 

      Scheel, Maria; Zervas, Athanasios; Rijkers, Ruud; Tveit, Alexander Tøsdal; Ekelund, Flemming; Campuzano Jiménez, Francisco; Christensen, Torben R.; Jacobsen, Carsten S. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-05)
      Permafrost soils store a substantial part of the global soil carbon and nitrogen. However, global warming causes abrupt erosion and gradual thaw, which make these stocks vulnerable to microbial decomposition into greenhouse gases. Here, we investigated the microbial response to abrupt in situ permafrost thaw. We sequenced the total RNA of a 1 m deep soil core consisting of up to 26 500-year-old permafrost ...
    • Abscisic acid regulates anthocyanin biosynthesis and gene expression associated with cell wall modification in ripening bilberry (vaccinium myrtillus l.) fruits 

      Karppinen, Katja Hannele; Tegelberg, Pinja; Häggman, Hely; Jaakola, Laura (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-29)
      Ripening of non-climacteric bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) fruit is characterized by a high accumulation of health-beneficial anthocyanins. Plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) and sucrose have been shown to be among the central signaling molecules coordinating non-climacteric fruit ripening and anthocyanin accumulation in some fruits such as strawberry. Our earlier studies have demonstrated an ...

A basic model for sick leave usage is constructed, and further divided ...
    • Absorptive capacity and energy efficiency in manufacturing firms – An empirical analysis in Norway 

      Solnørdal, Mette Talseth; Thyholdt, Sverre Braathen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-02)
      Increased energy efficiency (EE) in manufacturing firms is important for confronting climate challenges. However, the information barrier is considered a major restriction on EE innovation. Building on the theory of absorptive capacity and the current EE literature, we argue that this barrier relates to firms' ability to assimilate and exploit information. Thus, this study's objective is to analyse ...

    • Acceptance of near-natural greenspace management relates to ecological and socio-cultural assigned values among European urbanites 

      Lampinen, Jussi; Tuomi, Maria; Bucharova, Anna; Cancellieri, Laura; Casado-Arzuaga, Izaskun; Deák, Balázs; Eriksson, Ove; Fernández de Manuel, Beatriz; Filibeck, Goffredo; Kowarik, Ingo; Pons, Xavier; Schröder, Roland; Sperandii, Marta Gaia; Valkó, Orsolya (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-31)
      Grasslands are widespread elements of urban greenspace providing recreational, psychological and aesthetic benefits to city residents. Two urban grassland types of contrasting management dominate urban greenspaces: frequently mown, species-poor short-cut lawns and less intensively managed, near-natural tall-grass meadows. The higher conservation value of tall-grass meadows makes management interventions ...
    • Access to fishing grounds and adaptive strategies. The case of Chorkor and Nungua Fishing Communities of Greater Accra, Ghana 

      Sobang, Nicholas Badidaamet (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2014-05-15)
      Artisanal fisheries are increasingly been accepted as the panacea for exploiting marine resources in costal Ghana. However evidence mustered over the years indicate that the local fisher-folk who are engaged in small scale fisheries hardly get full participation in making decision governing these resources. The current study examine the factors that constrain fishers participation in decision making ...
    • Acclimation of circadian rhythms in woodland strawberries (Fragaria vesca L.) to Arctic and mid-latitude photoperiods 

      Faehn, Corine Alexis; Reichelt, Michael; Mithöfer, Axel; Hytönen, Timo; Mølmann, Jørgen Alexander Barosen; Jaakola, Laura Elina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-10)
      Background Though many abiotic factors are constantly changing, the photoperiod is a predictable factor that enables plants to time many physiological responses. This timing is regulated by the circadian clock, yet little is known about how the clock adapts to the differences in photoperiod between mid-latitudes and high latitudes. The primary objective of this study was to compare how clock gene ...
    • Accounting for food web dynamics when assessing the impact of mesopredator control on declining prey populations 

      Henden, John-André; Ehrich, Dorothee; Soininen, Eeva Marjatta; Ims, Rolf Anker (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-06)
      <p>1. Increasing populations of mesopredators are suspected to cause declines in vulnerable wildlife to the extent that mesopredator decimation actions (culling) have become commonplace. Design constraints, especially a lack of spatial replication, often hamper the assessment of the impact of such actions. However, extensive temporal replication (i.e. time series) and accounting for potentially ...
    • Accounting for Uncertainties in Biodiversity Estimations: A New Methodology and Its Application to the Mesopelagic Sound Scattering Layer of the High Arctic 

      Herrmann, Bent; Cerbule, Kristine; Brčić, Jure; Grimaldo Vela, Eduardo Enrique; Geoffroy, Maxime; Daase, Malin; Berge, Jørgen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-27)
      Measures of biological diversity (biodiversity) are important for monitoring the state of ecosystems. Several indices and methods are used to describe biodiversity from field observations. Marine faunal biodiversity is often quantified based on analysis of samples collected using a trawl during research surveys. To monitor spatial and temporal changes in biodiversity between surveys, samples are ...
    • Accumulated marine pollution and fishery dynamics 

      Bergland, Harald; Pedersen, Pål Andreas; Wyller, John Andreas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-05)
      We analyze the possible impacts of pollution on a fishery by means of a dynamical systems theory approach. The proposed model presupposes that activities stimulating economic growth also cause higher emissions that remediate or accumulate in the oceans. The density of pollution is assumed to affect the fishery negatively by reducing biological growth potential and decreasing marginal willingness to ...
    • Activity of XTHs during host plant infection by the parasitic plant Cuscuta. 

      Sarfowaa, Adwoa (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-15)
      Parasitic plants including Cuscuta develop specialized structures called haustoria during infection. These specialized organs give the parasite the capacity of host attachment, invasion, vasculature connection and material transfer between the host and the parasite. Successful invasion allows organic substances, nutrients and water to flow into the parasite through the host phloem and xylem cells. ...
    • Activity of xyloglucan endotransglucosylases/hydrolases suggests a role during host invasion by the parasitic plant Cuscuta reflexa 

      Olsen, Stian; Krause, Kirsten (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-04-27)
      The parasitic vines of the genus Cuscuta form haustoria that grow into other plants and connect with their vascular system, thus allowing the parasite to feed on its host. A major obstacle that meets the infection organ as it penetrates the host tissue is the rigid plant cell wall. In the present study, we examined the activity of xyloglucan endotransglucosylases/hydrolases (XTHs) during the ...
