Abstract
Urban agriculture has the potential to contribute to more sustainable cities, but its impacts are complex and varied. By implementing robust monitoring systems, cities can better understand the true effects of urban farming initiatives. This evidence can then inform smarter policies and more effective urban planning strategies.

Abstract
• Conventional forest operations can exert signifcant impacts on the hydrology and water quality of downstream aquatic environments. • Few research results have been published on the impacts of continuous cover forestry (CCF) on water quality. • CCF could be useful for reducing nutrient, carbon, and suspended solid exports in waterways. • CCF may be a better alternative to rotation forestry (RF) on mineral soils and drained peatlands. • Further research is needed on the many processes controlling nutrient and carbon exports in CCF and RF.

Abstract
Sweet cherry fruit in Norway is sold to the domestic market for fresh consumption. Gradually the self-fertile and high yielding cultivar ‘Lapins’ has become dominant and in the 2024 season, cv. Lapins made up 60% of the total sweet cherry volume. The production of sweet cherry in Norway is located around three main packinghouses with minor to no differences in ripening time dependent on the weather conditions of the year. Situations with too much fruit on the market at the same time have been experienced, and fruit with a longer possible distribution time have been demanded from the packinghouses. In postharvest experiments, deliveries to the same packinghouse the same day exposed to exactly the same treatments were compared and differed in fungal decay from less than 5% to 60% after simulated shelf life. The dominating fungal decay was Mucor rot and grey mold. The risk of fungal decay pre- and postharvest on fruit grown in a humid climate (500 to 1700 mm annual precipitation) increases with high humidity under the plastic cover, with fruit-to-fruit contact in clusters, with incidence of non-developing or damaged fruit, and with minimal effect of the plant protection program. In order to improve the market situation in Norway, postharvest treatments alone are probably not enough. A holistic approach is needed through introduction of new cultivars with high yield potential that ripen over a longer period of time and are thoroughly tested in real scale experiments simulating distribution. A major challenge will be how to motivate growers to plant cultivars with potentially less income than possible with the self-fertile, high yielding cv. ‘Lapins’.
