  • Moskusstien Som Forvaltningstiltak På Dovrefjell
    Masteroppgave 2020 60 stp Fakultet for miljøvitenskap og naturforvaltning (MINA) Moskusstien som forvaltningstiltak på Dovrefjell Kan en ny sti i randsonen redusere ferdselen i sårbare villreinområder, samtidig som den gir besøkende gode naturopplevelser? The Musk Ox Trail as a management measure at Dovrefjell Can a new trail in the border zone reduce traffic in vulnerable wild reindeer areas, while providing visitors with good nature experiences? An-Magritt Emilie Nergaard Todnem Naturforvaltning Forord Denne masteroppgaven er skrevet for Fakultetet for Miljøvitenskap og Naturforvaltning (MINA) ved Norges miljø- og biovitenskapelige Universitet (NMBU), og markerer en fullført mastergrad i naturforvaltning. Jeg har alltid hatt stor interesse for høyfjelløkologi og hadde et sterkt ønske om å skrive en oppgave som omhandler fjellet. Det har vært interessant og morsomt å studere virkning av tiltak for å redusere ferdsel inn mot villreinens sårbare områder. Jeg har hatt glede av arbeidet. Jeg vil først takke veilederne mine Øystein Aas (Professor ved MINA, NMBU) og Vegard Gundersen (Seniorforsker, NINA) som har vært hoved- og biveileder, og har gitt meg nyttige tilbakemeldinger og god veiledning underveis i arbeidet. I tillegg vil jeg takke for at jeg fikk delta i prosjektet. Å jobbe med et konkret prosjekt har gitt ekstra motivasjon da oppgaven forhåpentligvis kan være til nytte for andre. Videre vil jeg takke Villreinsenteret Nord, avd. Hjerkinn for praktisk hjelp og husrom under feltarbeidet, og Marit Vorkinn (Seniorrådgiver, Fylkesmannen i Innlandet) for råd og hjelp ved utforming av spørreskjema. Jeg vil også takke min tante Kristine som har hjulpet til med statistiske analyser og diskutert teoriene med meg. Også alle informantene som har besvart spørreskjema på turen sin langs Moskusstien eller blitt intervjuet fortjener en takk.

  • Autogeny As Successful Reproductive Strategy in High Altitude Black-Flies
    Annls Limnol. 25 (3) 1989 : 243-249 Autogeny as successful reproductive strategy in high altitude black- flies (Diptera, Simuliidae) J.E. Raastad' J.O. Solem* Keywords : Diptera, Simuliidae, mountain, Norway, autogeny. The black-fly fauna of Drovrefjell National Park, Central Norway, was investigated at elevations between 870 m and 1 630 m and covered the sub-alpine, low- and middle-alpine vegetation zones. We found 13 black-fly species and a domi­ nance of three non-bloodsucking species, Prosimulium ursinum, Cnephia tredecimata and Eusimulium crassum, in this area. E. crassum dominated the bog stream habitat, while C. tredecimata and P. ursinum dominated the outlet habitat. The parthenogenesis of P. ursinum is an advantage over a sexual reproduction in the extreme habitat of glacier fed out­ lets. While mammalophilic species were absent or scarce, we found a high proportion of bird-feeding Eusimulium spp. E. corniferum and E. carpathicum have not been previously recorded from Norway.

Received: 9 November 2010 / Accepted: 12 January 2011 / Published: 28 January 2011 Abstract: The ongoing climate warming has been reported to affect a broad range of organisms, and mountain ecosystems are considered to be particularly sensitive because they are limited by low temperatures. Meteorological data show an increased temperature for the alpine areas at Dovrefjell, Norway, causing a prolonged growing season and increased temperature sum. As part of the worldwide project Global Observation Research Initiative in Alpine Environments (GLORIA), the short-term changes in vascular plant species richness, species composition of lichen and vascular plant communities, and abundance of single species were studied at four summits representing an altitudinal gradient from the low alpine to the high alpine zone. During the period from 2001 to 2008, an increase in species richness at the lowest summit, as well as a change in the composition of vascular plant communities, was found at the two lowest summits.
