Adoption and extent of conservation agriculture practices among smallholder farmers in Malawi
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Understanding factors affecting farmers' adoption of improved technologies is critical to success of conservation agriculture (CA) program implementation. This study, which explored the factors that determine adoption and ... -
Apple value chain analysis in two mountainous districts in Nepal
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Apple (Malus pumila Mill.) is a popular temperate climate fruit but can grow at high altitudes in the subtropics where it can be an opportunity crop for small-scale farmers, amongst others in the Himalayan valleys and ... -
Biosafety regulatory frameworks in Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda and Sweden and their potential impact on international R&D collaborations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Gene technologies, such as transgenesis and new breeding techniques (NBTs), expand the toolbox for plant breeding. Many countries in Africa, however, have long been seen as “slow adopters” of gene technologies for several ... -
Classification of behaviors of free-ranging cattle using accelerometry signatures collected by virtual fence collars
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Precision farming technology, including GPS collars with biologging, has revolutionized remote livestock monitoring in extensive grazing systems. High resolution accelerometry can be used to infer the behavior of an animal. ... -
Explicit integration of dispersal-related metrics improves predictions of SDM in predatory arthropods
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-10-07)Fishing spiders (Dolomedes spp.) make an interesting model to predict the impact of global changes because they are generalist, opportunistic predators, whose distribution is driven mostly by abiotic factors. Yet, the two ... -
A Grazer in a Browser's Habitat: Resource Selection of Foraging Cattle in Productive Boreal Forest
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)In Norway, cattle (Bos taurus) are released to large areas of boreal forest for summer grazing. To determine to what degree this practice challenges timber production and wildlife management, we need a better understanding ... -
Italian Ryegrass, Perennial Ryegrass, and Meadow Fescue as Undersown Cover Crops in Spring Wheat and Barley: Results from a Mixed Methods Study in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Cover crops could provide environmental benefits in spring-grain systems through diversification, reduced nitrate leaching, and carbon sequestration. However, few farmers apply the technique, partly as they believe the ... -
Mapping patterns of abiotic and biotic stress resilience uncovers conservation gaps and breeding potential of Vigna wild relatives
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This study provides insights in patterns of distribution of abiotic and biotic stress resilience across Vigna gene pools to enhance the use and conservation of these genetic resources for legume breeding. Vigna is a ... -
A multi-attribute decision analysis of pest management strategies for Norwegian crop farmers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This study provides a multi-attribute approach to support decisions by Norwegian crop farmers considering adopting innovative crop protection measures. In modelling choice among pest management strategies, we have accounted ... -
Reproducing biocultural heritage landscapes through alternative and retro-innovative food production
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Landscapes rich in biocultural heritage are declining en masse across Europe. This is due to the effects of countryside depopulation and to large-scale, industrial agriculture. Landscape heritage and its associated ... -
Seed germination after 30 years storage in permafrost
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)More than 30 years ago, the Nordic Gene Bank established a long-term experiment on seeds stored under permafrost conditions in an abandoned mine corridor in Svalbard, as a tool to monitor storage life under these conditions. ... -
A serological screening for potential viral pathogens among semi-domesticated Eurasian tundra reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) in Finland
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Abstract Background Reindeer herding and husbandry is a traditional and important livelihood in Fennoscandia, and about 200,000 semi-domesticated reindeer are herded in Finland. Climatic changes, leading to ice-locked ... -
Stratification, scarification and gibberellic acid treatments of garden angelica (Angelica archangelica) seeds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)A study was made to examine methods to break seed dormancy in long-term stored garden seed lots of angelica (Angelica archangelica), including cold stratification at 4ᵒC for 60 or 85 days, scarification and gibberellic ... -
Weight gain of free-ranging beef cattle grazing in the boreal forest of south-eastern Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Young forest stands and clearcuts in the boreal forest created by modern forestry practices along with meadows of abandoned summer farms may contribute as feeding areas for beef cattle. The patchy distribution and varying ...
