Abstract
Farmers in northern Norway have experienced frequent winter damages of grassland, especially on flat areas and peat soils. The use of open ditches and surface grading has become the common method to drain such fields and for reclaiming new land with such characteristics. We designate this as surface grading in this paper. An investment analysis is carried out to explore the profitability of this method. This analysis indicates that the method is profitable from the farmers’ point of view. However, the conclusions are sensitive to changes in crop yields and the value of the yields. The cost of a winter damage and thus an unplanned reseeding is high for young leys, but is small for leys approaching the optimal replacement age.

Abstract
Change in crown density for Norway spruce (Picea abies) from 1988 to 1993 in three independent forest monitoring projects in southern Norway were compared. An increase in crown density was found in a countywide systematic random sample, whie measurements taken in old-growth forests reported a decline. These contradictory results may be due to: (1) high sensitivity of high-elevation forests to various kinds of environmental impact; (2) differences in stand age and management practice; and (3) different sensitivity to long distance airborne pollutants. The systematic random sample encompassed stans of several age classes from two counties, while the two other studies were restricted to old-growth forest in two smaller are as. A possibe explanation of the differences is thus that the three studies refer to differet popuations as a resut of different sampling strategies.
