    • Bevaring av genressurser : etablering av urterik slåtteeng : bakgrunn, problemstilling og metoder 

      Austad, Ingvild; Natlandsmyr, Brith; Rydgren, Knut; Byrkjeland, Liv; Auestad, Inger (HSF notat, Book, 2004)
      Tradisjonelle urterike slåtteenger med lyskrevende engarter er i dag sterkt truet i det norske landskapet. Friluftsmuseene kan komme til å spille en viktig rolle for å sikre arts- og tidsriktige plantesamfunn inkl. enkeltarter ...
    • Buffering effects of soil seed banks on plant community composition in response to land use and climate. 

      Plue, Jan; Van Calster, Hans; Auestad, Inger; Basto, Sofia; Bekker, Renee M.; Bruun, Hans Henrik; Chevalier, Richard; Decocq, Guillaume; Grandin, Ulf; Hermy, Martin; Jacquemyn, Hans; Jakobsson, Anna; Jankowska‐Błaszczuk, Małgorzata; Kalamees, Rein; Koch, Marcus A.; Marrs, Rob H.; Marteinsdóttir, Bryndís; Milberg, Per; Måren, Inger Elisabeth; Pakeman, Robin J.; Phoenix, Gareth K.; Thompson, Ken; Vandvik, Vigdis; Wagner, Markus; Auffret, Alistair G. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Aim Climate and land use are key determinants of biodiversity, with past and ongoing changes posing serious threats to global ecosystems. Unlike most other organism groups, plant species can possess dormant life‐history ...
    • Bunching up the background betters bias in species distribution models 

      Vollering, Julien Martin Marie; Halvorsen, Rune; Auestad, Inger; Rydgren, Knut (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Sets of presence records used to model species’ distributions typically consist of observations collected opportunistically rather than systematically. As a result, sampling probability is geographically uneven, which may ...
    • Environmental Restoration in Hydropower Development — Lessons from Norway 

      Auestad, Inger; Rydgren, Knut; Nilsen, Yngve (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Hydropower is expanding globally and is regarded a keymeasure formitigating climate change, but it also results inmajor environmental degradation, both at local scale andmore widely. We can learn lessons about how restoration ...
    • The fate of grassland species in the modern changing landscape: effects of management on vegetation and population dynamics in road verges and pastures 

      Auestad, Inger (Doctoral thesis, 2009)
      This thesis presents a study of vegetation and plant population dynamics in a local vegetation–environment context, and examines the importance of management regimes for the maintenance of grassland species. In the modern, ...
    • More warm-adapted species in soil seed banks than in herb layer plant communities across Europe 

      Auffret, Alistair G.; Vangansbeke, Pieter; De Frenne, Pieter; Auestad, Inger; Basto, Sofia; Grandin, Ulf; Jacquemyn, Hans; Jakobsson, Anna; Kalamees, Rein; Koch, Marcus A.; Marrs, Rob; Marteinsdottir, Bryndis; Wagner, Markus; Bekker, Renee M.; Bruun, Hans Henrik; Decocq, Guillaume; Hermy, Martin; Jankowska-Błaszczuk, Małgorzata; Milberg, Per; Måren, Inger Elisabeth; Pakeman, Robin J.; Phoenix, Gareth K.; Thompson, Ken; Van Calster, Hans; Vandvik, Vigdis; Plue, Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      1. Responses to climate change have often been found to lag behind the rate of warming that has occurred. In addition to dispersal limitation potentially restricting spread at leading range margins, the persistence of ...
    • På villplantejakt i hagen 

      Austad, Ingvild; Auestad, Inger; Hauge, Leif (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Private gardens represent important green infrastructure and include a range of habitats (e.g. lawns, flowerbeds and greenbelts), but little focus has been paid to the role of their spontaneously occurring flora for ...
    • Recreating semi-natural grasslands: a comparison of four methods 

      Rydgren, Knut; Nordbakken, Jørn-Frode; Austad, Ingvild; Auestad, Inger; Heegaard, Einar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)
