Comparing land use impacts using ecosystem quality, biogenic carbon emissions, and restoration costs in a case study of hydropower plants in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Purpose Habitat destruction is today the most severe threat to global biodiversity. Despite decades of efforts, there is still no proper methodology on how to assess all aspects of impacts on biodiversity from land use and ... -
Effect factors for marine invasion impacts on biodiversity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Purpose Marine vertebrate populations have halved in the past decades, and invasive species are a major driver for this loss. While many model the spread of invasive species, a model to assess impacts of marine invasions, ... -
Global guidance on environmental life cycle impact assessment indicators: impacts of climate change, fine particulate matter formation, water consumption and land use
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Purpose Guidance is needed on best-suited indicators to quantify and monitor the man-made impacts on human health, biodiversity and resources. Therefore, the UNEP-SETAC Life Cycle Initiative initiated a global consensus ... -
Impacts of onshore wind energy production on birds and bats: recommendations for future life cycle impact assessment developments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Models for quantifying impacts on biodiversity from renewable energy technologies are lacking within life cycle impact assessment (LCIA). We aim to provide an overview of the effects of wind energy on birds and bats, with ... -
Life cycle assessment of winter road maintenance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Purpose Winter road maintenance in the Nordic climate is demanding due to challenging weather conditions, high precipitation, and icy conditions. As a leading country in the transition to low-emission transport, Norway ... -
Linking inventories and impact assessment models for addressing biodiversity impacts: mapping rules and challenges
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Purpose An adequate matching between the nomenclature of elementary flows in life cycle inventory (LCI) databases and life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) methods is key for ensuring the proper application of life cycle ... -
Linking land use inventories to biodiversity impact assessment methods
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)There is generally a mismatch in the land use classification of life cycle inventory (LCI) databases and life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) methods. This mismatch can hinder the proper assessment of land use impacts on ... -
Overview and recommendations for regionalized life cycle impact assessment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Purpose Regionalized life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) has rapidly developed in the past decade, though its widespread application, robustness, and validity still face multiple challenges. Under the umbrella of UNEP/SETAC ... -
Regionalized environmental impacts of construction machinery
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)PURPOSE: This study aims to establish a regionalized environmental impact assessment of construction machinery equipped with diesel engines certified by the European emission standard Stage V, and operated in cold climatic ... -
Reviewing the potential for including habitat fragmentation to improve life cycle impact assessments for land use impacts on biodiversity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Purpose The biosphere is progressively subjected to a variety of pressures resulting from anthropogenic activities. Habitat conversion, resulting from anthropogenic land use, is considered the dominant factor driving ...
