Effects of reforestation and intensified land use on vascular plant species richness in traditionally managed hay meadows
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2003)In this study of 130 sites with different management we investigated whether vascular plant species richness is significantly reduced when traditionally managed hay meadows are abandoned and reforested. We also compared ... -
Managing biodiversity: Impacts of Legal Protection in Mountain Forests of the Himalayas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-08-04)Legal protection has been used as means of conserving forests and associated biodiversity in many regions of the world since the eighteenth century. However, most forests in the global south, even those within protected ... -
Recent increases in species richness and shifts in altitudinal distributions of Norwegian mountain plants
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2003)Opportunities for observing long-term changes in natural biota are rare. Observations on the distribution and frequency of vascular plants were performed on 23 mountains situated along a west–east gradient in Jotunhei men, ... -
Species composition and richness along microtopographical gradient, Hardangervidda National Park, Southern Norway
(Master thesis, 2017-08-23)Snow, an effective insulator and a mediator of soil microclimate, determines the abundance and plant species richness patterns in the alpine life zone. The aims of this study are: first, to investigate the species composition ... -
Species Richness Patterns in Space and Time in the Himalayan Area
(Doctoral thesis, 2010-02-19)Aims: The Himalayan Mountains are highly sensitive to current global climate changes and their local impacts. Potentially more sensitive are lichens growing throughout the Himalaya and species living in the alpine zones ... -
Treeline and vegetation dynamics in response to environmental changes in Nepal, the central Himalaya
(Doctoral thesis, 2013-05-31)Aims: To describe and evaluate patterns of vegetation response to ongoing environmental changes across climate-limited (alpine treeline ecotone) and humanmodified (temperate Himalayan oak forests) ecosystems in Nepal, ...
