Background and aims Cover crops are an important measure for carbon (C) sequestration in agriculture. However, little is known about the potential of cover crops to increase C under Nordic conditions and the efficiency of this measure over time. Here, we quantify the potential contribution of different cover crops to soil organic carbon (SOC) and organic matter fractions, and study how this is affected by the origin of the C input (aboveground or belowground residues). Methods We conducted a 13 CO 2 pulse-labelling experiment during the growing season of four cover crops adapted to Nordic conditions, representing different plant functional types. The assimilated 13 C was traced in soil during the following two years. We investigated the fate of cover crop C in two organic matter fractions, Particulate Organic Matter (POM) and Mineral-Associated Organic Matter (MAOM), known to have different persistence in soil. Results Carbon derived from aboveground residues decayed two to three times faster as compared to belowground C. Belowground C inputs were similar among cover crops despite their contrasting root traits and differences in root biomass C. Rhizodeposited-C was consistently the largest belowground C input. Cover crop species affected the quantity of POM-C and MAOM-C, but MAOM-C was preferentially formed from belowground C (ranging from 0.63 ± 0.2 to 0.25 ± 0.1 Mg MAOM-C ha −1 across different cover crops), regardless of the species. Conclusions Cover crop species that can combine large belowground biomass production with root traits that promote physical and physico-chemical protection of OM will contribute most effectively to the long-term SOC pool. These aspects need to be balanced with considerations related to agricultural management.

Invasive species are one of the greatest threats to biodiversity. However, our understanding of how these species persist and spread in novel environments remains limited. Specifically, the relative importance of species interactions versus environmental conditions and the role of rapid evolutionary adaptation are not fully understood. Here, we investigate the impact of these factors on the distribution of the invasive Himalayan balsam ( Impatiens glandulifera ). We examined whether the climatic niche of the species is pre-adapted to the environmental conditions in the introduced range through niche modeling. Field surveys were conducted to assess the importance of herbivory and competition, and greenhouse treatments were used to investigate local adaptation. We found that the species has not yet fully occupied the suitable climatic space in its introduced range in Europe. Our results suggest that the species may have experienced enemy release while also facing increased biotic pressure at the northern range edge. We identified adaptive differentiation in flowering time, which enhances reproductive success when plants grow in climates similar to their origin. Our results indicate that Himalayan balsam has rapidly adapted to differences in growing season length in its introduced range, with trait plasticity providing an adaptive advantage. Together, these findings suggest that the species may continue to spread across its introduced range in Europe.

Å ivareta velferdsgoder er en sentral oppgave i helhetlig arealplanlegging og arealforvaltning. Jordbrukslandskapet leverer fellesgoder eller såkalte økosystemtjenester som bidrag til menneskelig velferd. I denne artikkelen ser vi på jordbrukets bidrag til kulturelle økosystemtjenester og hvordan kulturarvsverdier inngår i dette. Kulturelle økosystemtjenester bidrar til stedsidentitet, estetiske verdier og friluftsliv og betegnes gjerne som opplevelses- og kunnskapstjenester. At store deler av kulturarvsverdien ligger på jordbruksareal som antas å være ute av drift, tilsier en utvikling som kan få konsekvenser for forvaltningen av kulturarven. Vi foreslår derfor en nyansert forvaltning av kulturarv i jordbrukslandskapet, basert på tre kategorier kulturarv, og kobler disse til hvilket forvaltningsnivå som synes nødvendig for å ivareta kulturhistoriske elementer på ulike nivåer.

Fine-scale, spatially explicit forest attribute maps are essential for guiding forest management and policy decisions. Such maps, based on the combination of National Forest Inventory (NFI) and remote sensing datasets, have a long tradition in the Nordic countries. Harmonizing the pixel size among national forest attribute maps would considerably improve the utility of the maps for users. However, the maps are often aligned with the NFI plot size, and the influence of creating these maps at different spatial resolutions (i.e. pixel sizes) is little studied. We assess the stand-level uncertainty (RMSE) of biomass, volume, basal area, and Lorey’s height estimates resulting from the aggregation of maps across varying spatial resolutions. Models fit at 16 m native resolution using more than 14 000 NFI plots were applied for predictions at pixels sizes (side lengths) of 1, 5, 10, 16, and 30 m. For independent validation, we used more than 600 field plots – that cover a total area of 24 ha and were clustered within 65 stands across Norway. For all attributes, the lowest RMSEs, ranging from 6.86% for Lorey’s height to 13.86% for volume, were observed for predictions at pixel sizes of 5 m to 16 m. The RMSE changes across resolutions were generally small (< 5%) for biomass, volume, and basal area. For Lorey’s height, changing the spatial resolution resulted in large RMSEs of up to 25%. Overall, our findings suggest that the main forest attributes can be mapped at a finer resolutions without complex adjustments.

Fruit ripening is a highly coordinated and complex process determining a wide range of characteristics affecting the fruit quality, such as flavour, nutritional value, shelf-life, and processing properties. The fruit set occurs after fertilization, followed by first an active cell division and a later cell expansion phase leading to ripening, which coincides with seed maturation. The ripening phase is regulated by a signalling network of thousands of genes that orchestrate the softening, and the accumulation of the secondary compounds and sugars in ripe fruits. Plant hormones, especially ethylene and abscisic acid (ABA) have major roles in the control of the ripening processes. Based on the burst of respiration rate and ethylene production and/or the peak in ABA production at the onset of ripening, fruits are classified as climacteric or non-climacteric fruits, respectively. We have studied the regulation of ripening in bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.), traditionally classified as non-climacteric fruits, by analysing the role of the plant hormones, transcription factors, and the structural genes controlling the anthocyanin accumulation and the cell wall softening during the berry ripening. Our results have identified some upstream regulators of fruit ripening in bilberry and provided new knowledge on the R2R3 MYB and basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors, which are the key regulators of anthocyanin biosynthesis. Moreover, we have shown evidence of the role of ABA in controlling the ripening related anthocyanin accumulation in bilberry. Our recent results on metabolomic and proteomic profiling of bilberry indicate an increase in ethylene biosynthesis during bilberry fruit development coinciding with the ABA peak, raising a need for further studies and clearer determination between the classification of climacteric and non-climacteric fruits.

I Norge er det en nasjonal føring å benytte naturbaserte løsninger (NBL) i klimatilpasning og samfunnsplanlegging. Dette gjelder også i vannforvaltningen, som ifølge vannforskriften skal være kunnskapsbasert, helhetlig og økosystembasert. Motivert av at ulike aktører gjennomgående oppgir at de trenger mer kunnskap for å ta i bruk NBL, har vi undersøkt hva dette kunnskapsbehovet består i. Arbeidsmøter og intervjuer med interessenter i nedbørfeltene til Gausa og Haldenvassdraget, og informanter fra lokal, regional og nasjonal forvaltning i perioden 2021-25, har gitt innsikt i hvilken type kunnskap som trengs. Resultatene viser at det etterspørres ulik fagkunnskap, eksempelvis både juridisk og teknisk kunnskap for gjennomføring av NBL, og kunnskap om tverrfaglig samarbeid for helhetlige løsninger. Funnene viser at det er behov for å utvikle ny kunnskap, for eksempel om effekter av NBL under lokale klimaforhold, samtidig som det er stort behov for å tilgjengeliggjøre og dele kunnskap som allerede finnes på tvers av ulike aktører og sektorer.
