(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The capacity of the food system to respond to the economic, demographic and environmental challenges ahead has become a topic of increasing interest, with particular attention to the roles and responsibilities of the ... -
Drivers of change in meso-carnivore distributions in a northern ecosystem
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:182, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Species have been subject to major perturbations in recent times, such as over-harvest, habitat loss and climate change, affecting their distribution and abundance. Alpine and arctic tundra ecosystems are particularly ... -
Drivers of change in US residential energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, 1990-2015
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from residential energy use in the United States peaked in 2005 at 1.26 Gt CO2-eq yr−1, and have since decreased at an average annual rate of 2% yr−1 to 0.96 Gt CO2-eq yr−1 in 2019. ... -
Drivers of conservation crimes in the Rungwa-Kizigo-Muhesi Game Reserves, Central Tanzania
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Conservation crimes are posing serious threats to wildlife species and biodiversity of the Rungwa-Kizigo-Muhesi-Game-Reserves. Devising effective strategies to reduce risks to as low as reasonably possible of these crimes, ... -
Drivers of diet patterns in a globally distributed freshwater fish species
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We analysed data of a globally distributed model organism (brown trout) in an attempt to understand relationships among biogeography, prey communities and climate on diet composition at regional spatial scales (Scandinavia), ... -
Drivers of energy saving behaviour: The relative influence of intentional, normative, situational and habitual processes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Campaigns aiming to induce energy saving behaviour among householders use a wide range of approaches that address many different drivers thought to underpin this behaviour. However, little research has compared the influence ... -
Drivers of Euro Area Yield Spreads: Economic Fundamentals or Psychology? - A study of long term government bond yield spreads from 1990 to 2014
(Master thesis, 2015)We analyze government bond yield spreads in Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, and Italy from 1990 to 2014. Seeking to identify the effects of economic fundamentals and psychology, we split the time period into four regimes ... -
Drivers of fluctuating embodied carbon emissions in international services trade
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Service industries are generally considered “green” because of their marginal direct emissions; however, they account for 65% of the world gross domestic product and over 20% of total global trade in 2019. Here, we quantify ... -
The drivers of individual climate actions in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We analyze European citizens’ willingness to take climate mitigation action with data on one-time donation choices from a survey of 15,951 people across 27 nations. Responses are explored with an interdisciplinary hybrid ... -

Drivers of maternal accumulation of organohalogen pollutants in Arctic areas (Chukotka, Russia) and 4,4′-DDT effects on the newborns
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background One of the most worrying consequence of the production and use of persistent organohalogen pollutants (POPs) is the high accumulation in Arctic populations because of long-range transport. Study of the effects ... -
Drivers of plant recruitment in alpine vegetation
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:394, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Hva er viktig for rekruttering av planter i fjellet? Endringer i klima og beite påvirker vegetasjonen i fjellet. Noen arter øker i utbredelse, mens andre er i nedgang. Det fører til nye sammensetninger av plantesamfunn. ... -

Drivers of the high frequency variability of gravity wave forcing in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere
(Master thesis, 2015)In this thesis the influence of gravity waves (GWs) in the mesosphere/lower thermosphere (MLT) was analysed. This was inspired by the work done in the paper by de Wit et al. (2014), which used the SKiYMET meteor radar in ... -
Drivers of vegetative dormancy across herbaceous perennial plant species
(Journal article, 2018)Vegetative dormancy, that is the temporary absence of aboveground growth for ≥ 1 year, is paradoxical, because plants cannot photosynthesise or flower during dormant periods. We test ecological and evolutionary hypotheses ... -
Drivers, trends, and uncertainty in long-term price projections for energy management in public buildings
