The handbook for standardized field and laboratory measurements in terrestrial climate change experiments and observational studies (ClimEx)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)1. Climate change is a world-wide threat to biodiversity and ecosystem structure, functioning and services. To understand the underlying drivers and mechanisms, and to predict the consequences for nature and people, we ... -
The Hydrothermal Breccia of Berglia-Glassberget, Trøndelag, Norway: Snapshot of a Triassic Earthquake
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The quartz-K-feldspar-cemented breccia of Berglia-Glassberget in the Lierne municipality in central Norway forms an ellipsoid structure 250 m × 500 m in size. The hydrothermal breccia is barren in terms of economic commodities ... -
The importance of herbivore density and management as determinants of the distribution of rare plant species
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Herbivores are often drivers of ecosystem states and dynamics and in many situations are managed either as livestock or through controlled or exploitative hunting of wild populations. Changes in herbivore density can affect ... -
The Index Seminum: Seeds of change for seed exchange
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Botanic gardens have been exchanging seeds through seed catalogues for centuries. In many gardens, these catalogues remain an important source of plant material. Living collections have become more relevant for genetic ... -
The invertebrate fauna of anthropogenic soils in the High-Arctic settlement of Barentsburg, Svalbard
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)The terrestrial environment of the High Arctic consists of a mosaic of habitat types. In addition to the natural habitat diversity, various human-influenced types may occur. For the resident invertebrate fauna, these ... -
The marine Isopod Crustacea of the Tristan da Cunha Archipelago

The next generation fungal diversity researcher
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Fungi are more important to our lives than is assumed by the general public. They can comprise both devastating pathogens and plant-associated mutualists in nature, and several species have also become important workhorses ... -
The northern Scandinavian viking hall: A case study from Viklem in Ørland, Norway
(Chapter, 2019)Our aim with this paper was to discuss two possible Viking Age and Early medieval wooden hall buildings from Viklem at Ørlandet in relation to the Scandinavian Viking Age halls. To do this we analysed the buildings from ... -
The Norwegian Sphagna: a field colour guide
(NTNU Vitenskapsmuseet Rapport Botanisk Serie, 0802-2992; 2002:1, Research report, 2002)Colour plates illustrate fifty-four Sphagnum taxa, 50 species and 4 subspecies. This constitues all the known peat mosses from Norway including arctic Svalbard. Macroscopic keys to sections and species within the different ... -
The peatland map of Europe
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Based on the ‘European Mires Book’ of the International Mire Conservation Group (IMCG), this article provides a composite map of national datasets as the first comprehensive peatland map for the whole of Europe. We also ... -

The Response of Alpine Salix Shrubs to Long-Term Browsing Varies with Elevation and Herbivore Density
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)The widespread expansion of shrubs into arctic and alpine regions has frequently been linked to climatic warming, but herbivory can play a role in addition to, or in interaction with, climate. Willow (Salix spp.) shrubs ... -
The Role of Individual Traits and Environmental Factors for Diet Composition of Sheep
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Large herbivore consumption of forage is known to affect vegetation composition and thereby ecosystem functions. It is thus important to understand how diet composition arises as a mixture of individual variation in ... -
