On-farm assessments of soil health and soil functions comparing conservation and conventional farming practices in southeast Norway Open
Conservation practices like minimal disturbance, soil cover and crop diversification can enhance soil health, but evidence from Norway is limited due to challenging climatic conditions. This study examines long-term conservation (no-till, …

A pedo‐climatic approach towards soil health assessment: Soil texture‐specific scoring curves on arable land in Norway Open
Soil health assessments that integrate physical, chemical and biological indicators help the evaluation of soil functioning, provide a framework for monitoring soil degradation, guide land management activities and secure the delivery of s…

Geophysics for managing Norwegian agrohydrological threats Open
Norwegian agriculture is challenged by increased production demand and climate change while being faced with tight restrictions to its environmental impact. Due to climate change, an increase in extreme weather events is expected. High int…

Soil health in Norway: On-farm assessments of soil health with no-till and conventional farming practices Open
Soil health is defined as the capacity of a soil to function as vital living ecosystem. No-tillage is a non-inversion practice that has been highlighted as a practice for improving soil health, and thereby improving soil ecosystem delivery…

R-Beale: an automated stratified Beale’s ratio estimator to calculate pollutant loading from measurements with missing observations. Open
<p>The Beale&#8217;s ratio estimator (Beale, 1962) had been proven to be an unbiased pollutant loading calculator. However, Dolan et al (1981) cited that the estimator may have poor performance due to inadequate stratification. T…

Soil-Improving Cropping Systems for Sustainable and Profitable Farming in Europe Open
Soils form the basis for agricultural production and other ecosystem services, and soil management should aim at improving their quality and resilience. Within the SoilCare project, the concept of soil-improving cropping systems (SICS) was…

Do Agricultural Advisory Services in Europe Have the Capacity to Support the Transition to Healthy Soils? Open
The need to provide appropriate information, technical advice and facilitation to support farmers in transitioning towards healthy soils is increasingly clear, and the role of the Agricultural Advisory Services (AAS) in this is critical. H…

Combining FDR and ERT for monitoring soil moisture and temperature patterns in undulating terrain in south-eastern Norway Open
The occurrence of freeze–thaw cycles modifies water infiltration processes and surface runoff generation. Related processes are complex and are not yet fully investigated at field scale. While local weather conditions and soil management p…
View article: Soil Degradation Assessment in Europe, A Review of Status, Interaction and Remediation
Soil Degradation Assessment in Europe, A Review of Status, Interaction and Remediation Open
As soil formation is an extremely slow process, soil can be considered a non-renewable resource. Soils should thus be adequately protected and conserved to ensure that soil functions are not lost or diminished. Soil functions are, however,…

Quantifying the dynamics of microtopography during a snowmelt event Open
Knowledge of soil microtopography and its changes in space and over time is important to the understanding of how tillage influences infiltration, runoff generation and erosion. In this study, the use of a terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) i…

Prioritising areas for soil conservation measures in small agricultural catchments in Norway, using a connectivity index Open
Measures designed to control erosion serve two purposes: on site (reduce soil loss) and off site (reduce sediment delivery to streams and lakes). While these objectives often coincide or at least are complementary, they could result in dif…

Effect of riparian vegetation on stream bank stability in small agricultural catchments Open
The hydrological processes associated with vegetation and their effect on slope stability are complex and so difficult to quantify, especially because of their transient effects (e.g. changes throughout the vegetation life cycle). Addition…

Integrated Water Hazards Engineering Based on Mapping, Nature-Based and Technical Solutions Open
Climate change is expected to alter average temperature and precipitation values and to increase the variability of precipitation events, which may lead to even more intense and frequent water hazards. Water hazards engineering is the bran…

Investigating the development of shallow snowpacks on arable land, using comprehensive field observations and spatially distributed snow modelling Open
Shallow (<1 m deep) snowpacks on agricultural areas are an important hydrological component in many countries, which determines how much meltwater is potentially available for overland flow, causing soil erosion and flooding at the end …

Catchment Hydrology during Winter and Spring and the Link to Soil Erosion: A Case Study in Norway Open
In the Nordic countries, soil erosion rates in winter and early spring can exceed those at other times of the year. In particular, snowmelt, combined with rain and soil frost, leads to severe soil erosion, even, e.g., in low risk areas in …
