• Actuarial senescence progresses similarly across sites and species in four boreal orchids 

      Tholstrup, Ditte Wiig; Sletvold, Nina; Øien, Dag-Inge; Moen, Asbjørn; Colchero, Fernando; Dahlgren, Johan Petter (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      1. Whole-plant senescence, defined as a decrease in individual fitness as an organism grows older, has often been assumed to not occur in plants; however, it has now been detected in a range of plant taxa. Still, reported ...
    • Airborne laser scanning reveals uniform responses of forest structure to moose (Alces alces) across the boreal forest biome 

      Petersen, Tanja Kofod; Kolstad, Anders Lorentzen; Kouki, Jari; Leroux, Shawn J.; Potvin, Lynette R.; Tremblay, Jean-Pierre; Wallgren, Märtha; Widemo, Fredrik; Cromsigt, Joris P. G. M.; Courtois, Coline; Austrheim, Gunnar; Gosse, John; den Herder, Michael; Hermanutz, Luise; Speed, James David Mervyn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      1. The moose Alces alces is the largest herbivore in the boreal forest biome, where it can have dramatic impacts on ecosystem structure and dynamics. Despite the importance of the boreal forest biome in global carbon ...
    • Environmental drivers of Sphagnum growth in mires across the Holarctic region

M.; Rochefort, Line; Singer, David; Stenøien, Hans K.; Tuttila, Eeva-Stiina; Vellak, Kai; Waddington, James Michael; Granath, Gustaf (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The relative importance of global versus local environmental factors for growth and thus carbon uptake of the bryophyte genus Sphagnum—the main peat-former and ecosystem engineer in northern peatlands—remains unclear. We ...
    • Testing enemy release of non-native plants across time and space using herbarium specimens in Norway 

      Ivison, Katy; Speed, James David Mervyn; Prestø, Tommy; Dawson, Wayne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The enemy release hypothesis predicts that invasive plant success is in part due to the absence of natural enemies in the invaded range. However, few studies have assessed how enemy release may vary over time or space. ...
