Abstract
Two zone sites, i.e. two circular areas with 50 km radius, were established in southern Norway. The zone sites were centred in Tofte (the location of a major pulp mill) and in Drammen (the site of a major timber yard). From June to October 2000, 66 forest blocks were visited, 65 of which were situated within the zone site areas. Samples were collected from 40 forest blocks, especially from wood attacked by wood boring insects. At 34 forest blocks, trees of Scots pine, Pinus sylvestris, or Norway spruce Picea abies were provided as trap-logs for Monochamus spp. This material will be sampled in the survey of 2001. Some samples were also taken from a wood chip pile and from imported wood material. The total number of wood samples analysed for nematodes were 275. Out of these, 214 samples were collected from forest trees, stumps, timber and logging wastes of P. sylvestris and P. abies. Three samples contained nematodes belonging to the genus Bursaphelenchus, but the Pine Wood Nematode (PWN), B. xylophilus, was not detected. Similarly, this nematode was not detected in the 10 samples of wood chips, or in the 25 samples of imported lumber or in the 26 samples of imported solid wood packing material. In order reach the minimal number of 3000 samples within reasonable time, the number of samples for the next survey season of 2001 needs to be increased drastically. To achieve this, the sampling will continue within the existing zone sites, and be extended into new zone sites to be established in 2001.

Abstract
Vi undersøkte fenologi og kjønnsratio (andel hunner) til 15 arter snylteveps som parasitterer havrebladminerflue i Norge. Studiet gikk over 6 sesonger i byggskiftet i et økologisk drevet felt ved Norges Landbrukshøyskole, og det ble brukt Malaisefeller som innsamlingsmetode (en i åkerkanten og en 60 m inn i byggskiftet). Resultatene tydet på at snyltevepshunnene var mer knyttet til kanten enn hannene og verten sin, og at mange av snyltevepsene vandret ut av åkeren en stund før tresking. De to vanligste snyltevepsartene var Cyrtogaster vulgaris (en puppeparasitt) og Diglyphus begini (en larveparasitt). Førstnevnte hadde en særlig nær tilknytning til kanten, og tidligere studier har vist at denne kan overvintre som voksen i f.eks grastuer i kanten. Hos sistnevnte fant vi en tetthetsavhengig kjønnsratio i fellefangstene: Jo flere individer i fellene, jo lavere andel var hunner

Insect species in 20 families of Diptera were collected by an equal number of interception traps in spruce forests of different management practice:young regrowth 5-10 years after logging and replantingmanaged old-growth forestgap opening of old-growth forest with plenty of even-aged dead wooda shady remnant biotope of uncultivated old-growth forest with plenty of dead wood in various levels of decay. Forest cultivation seems to favour saprophagous generalists on behalf of the specialised fungal fauna. The species in mycorrhizal fungi were clearly reduced in young regrowth, while species in wood-inhabiting fungi were most diverse in the remnant biotope with a heterogeneous composition of dead wood.The abundance of saprophagous generalists was significantly increased in the managed forest variants (young regrowth and managed old-growth forest). More studies are necessary to evaluate how the shift in decomposer fauna influence nutrient cycling and other ecosystem processes in forests.
