BIONÆR-Bionæringsprogram

Transformation of biogas digestates to a fertilizer which reduce N2O emissions.

NMBU Nitrogen group har sammen med Norges største renseanlegg, Veas, utviklet en lovende teknologisk plattform som adresserer de enorme utslippene av klimagassen lystgass (N2O) fra matjord. Dette utslippet må reduseres hvis vi skal nå målene i Parisavtalen da lystgassutslipp utgjør 1/3 av det tot...

Stress-coping strategies in a changing world: how do ground-nesting birds adapt to unpredictive predation threat?

In the Arctic, polar bears (Ursus maritimus) rely on sea ice to hunt seals. However, sea ice is decreasing due to climate warming, and bears are changing their foraging behavior, increasing egg consumption. This shift in diet can put ground-nesting bird species, such as common eiders (Somateria m...

The effects of warming climate on parasite-reindeer dynamics in the Arctic.

An ecosystem is shaped by species that interact with each other (herbivory, predation, and parasitism), but species dynamics can be influenced by abiotic conditions as for example increasing temperature due to climate change. However, how climate change affects parasites and consequently their ho...
