In the last few decades, it has been noted that the epiphytic lichen Usnea longissima appears to be declining in numbers throughout its previous distribution range in Scandinavia. Up until now, clearcutting forestry has been considered the main threat to its persistence. Suspecting that other threats also may be at work, we studied the fate of 20 U. longissima localities in undisturbed forest stands, surveyed in 1994–95 and subsequently in 2003–04, in the Nordmarka region, north of Oslo, Norway. Yearly λ was calculated to be 0.94 (95% CI = 0.91-0.97), both with respect to number of trees bearing the lichen and total number of thalli per locality. This corresponds to a 10-year decline of 46%, or a half-life of 11 years. No new establishments were recorded. Now being listed as Endangered (EN) in the revised Norwegian Redlist of 2006, all known localities will be protected from major forestry operations. However, without knowledge of additional threat sources, its future possibility for survival looks bleak. Possible negative factors are discussed, including air pollution, increasing tree canopy closure, inter-specific competition, and genetic depauperation.

En satsing på kystskogbruket inklusive økt avvirkning de kommende tiår må foregå innenfor faglig funderte rammer som ivaretar sektoransvaret. Hensynet til biologisk mangfold setter ulike rammer og begrensninger for utnyttelsesmulighetene. De praktiske tiltakene skjer på tre fronter: Gjennom vern av skog (etter naturvernloven), gjennom avsetting av viktige områder for biologisk mangfold og de mer generelle hensyn i skogsektoren inkludert gjennom sertifisering og miljøstandarder samt lover og forskrifter. Noen miljøspørsmål som bør ha forskningsmessig fokus de kommende år er gitt korte kommentarer.

We investigated whether the stand age affects the life span of tree and understory fine roots (<1mm) in three Norway spruce (Picea abies) stands: 30, 60 and 120-yr-old. In each stand 9 minirhizotrons were installed and images were collected once in a month throughout the growing season during the three years. Norway spruce fine roots in the 30-yr old stand had a life span 401 ± 27 and 341 ± 68 days, and understory 409 ± 162 and 349 ± 142 days, estimated by using the Kaplan Meier survival analysis (KM) and Weibull distribution, respectively...

Bioforsk har hatt flere prosjekter innen juletreproduksjon de siste 10 årene. Målet har vært økt effektivitet i produksjonen og bedre kvalitet på sluttproduktet. Prosjektene har spent over mange tema innenfor produksjonsteknikk og plantehelse.

Kulturgranskogen på Vestlandet forventes å bli hogstmoden om noen år. Hvis avvirkede arealer igjen tilplantes med gran, vil behovet for frø med gode genetiske egenskaper bli stort. Hvor henter vi frøet fra, og er det mulig å skaffe nok frø til en årlig planteproduksjon som kan komme opp i flere millioner planter?

We present results from early tests and field trials of offspring from two Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) seed orchards containing clones that have been transferred from high altitudes to sea level and from northern to southern latitudes. Seedlings from seeds produced in the low-altitude seed orchard developed frost hardiness later at the end of the growth season, flushed later in field trials, and grew taller than seedlings from seeds produced in natural stands. They had the lowest mortality rate and the lowest frequency of injuries in the field trials. Similar results were observed in seedlings from seeds produced in the southern seed orchard. We found no adverse effects of the changed growth rhythm. Seedlings from two seed crops in the southern orchard, produced in years with a warm and a cold summer, had different annual growth rhythms. The results are explained mainly by the effects of the climatic conditions during the reproductive phase. Seed crops from different years in the same seed orchard may produce seedlings that perform as if they were from different provenances. It is argued that the effects of the climatic conditions during seed production must contribute to the variation among provenances of Norway spruce.
