Climate‐induced vegetation greening (NDVImax) stimulated C‐sequestration in subarctic catchments by 10%–85% during the last decades. Increases in weathering and declines in non‐marine SO4 atmospheric deposits were identified as the main drivers of decadal increases in inorganic C (ICalk) run‐off to subarctic lakes.

Lødingen reinforskningsstasjon legges ned
The section tells about the closure of the Norwegian Reindeer Research Station at Kåringen in North Norway in 1983. The research station started in 1957 and the Norwegian Reindeer Research started as an organisation of its own in 1969. The Agricultuaral

Horizontal visibility, rather than concealment cover, drove fawn bedsite use and predation risk. Greater field of view decreased the odds of coyote predation, likely by facilitated by early detection. As fawns transitioned from hiders to followers, they shifted from using dense overstory concealment to more open overstory that favored improved escape ...

Abstract Different aspects of ecological systems, biotic or abiotic, often fluctuate in coordinated patterns over space and time. Such high concordance between ecological processes is often referred to as ecological synchrony. Human activities, including and beyond climate change, have the potential to alter ecological synchrony by disrupting or ...

Sustainable Reindeer Husbandry
The goal of the project is to assess circumpolar reindeer herding and husbandry in relation to ecological, economic and social/cultural sustainability. This will be done by carrying out a thematic survey and assessment of reindeer husbandry in the region,

Abstract The long history of reindeer herding in Fennoscandia has shaped the mountain tundra by influencing its productivity, nutrient and carbon cycling and vegetation structure. By partly limiting shrub expansion, extensive reindeer grazing contributes to ecosystem resilience and helps mitigate climate change effects.

Controlling the stock or the habitat – The crisis of native invasive encroachment in the grazing land of Norwegian reindeer husbandry [PDF]
Climate change negatively impacts reindeer grazing in Fennoscandia, with the encroachment of Empetrum nigrum (crowberry) being a significant, yet largely unrecognized problem. Crowberry encroachment affects the neighboring palatable vegetation negatively,

Monitoring wildlife using long‐endurance solar‐electric UAVs
This report discusses the effectiveness of using small solar‐electric UAV (uncrewed aerial vehicles) for aerial wildlife monitoring. We review four years of aerial wildlife monitoring missions using a 5.5‐m wingspan, solar‐electric UAV that was equipped with a gimballed IR/RGB camera.

Livestock as insurance and social status. Evidence from reindeer herding in Norway [PDF]
The theory of livestock as a buffer stock predicts that agropastoralists facing substantial risks typically will use liquid assets, such as livestock, for self-insurance to smooth consumption.

Estimating red deer Cervus elaphus population density using drones in a steep and rugged terrain
Precise and accurate information about population density, crucial for wildlife management, is difficult to obtain for elusive species living in dense forests or steep and inaccessible terrain. Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), we developed a method for obtaining absolute population estimates of ungulates living in steep, rugged, and partly ...
