The Norwegian Monitoring Programme for Forest Damage has now been running for more than 10 years. Its main objective has been to monitor forest condition in relation to air pollution. Surveys of forests are performed on plots in a nation-wide representative grid network (Level 1 in the UN/ECE ICP Forests system), in a network of local county-wise plots, and in a network of intensively monitored plots (Level 2 in the UN/ECE ICP Forests system). Vitality indicators have shown a declining trend as reported earlier, expressed as reduced crown density and more of discoloured trees, particularly in spruce forests. However, results from last year have shown a slight improvement in tree crown condition. Tree mortality in excess of normal is not recorded. Forest condition generally depends upon soil, tree age, climate, pests and diseases, and other natural impact. The observed decreased crown density since 1989 is likely caused by a harsh climate, poor soil conditions and forest diseases. Air pollution loads, add to and interact with these factors. Most likely initiating factors are needed to produce visual symptoms. Summer drought is possibly such a factor of relevance to Norway. The actual effect of the air pollution component is therefore difficult to estimate; however, its importance is not excluded. In future, possible effects of a changed global climate should also be considered. Considering these results it is reasonable to presume that most Norwegian forest ecosystems generally are still in a satisfactory condition.

Contamination of atmosphere and soils was found to be accompanied by the active participation of S, Ni, Cu and Fe in the biological cycle in the area adjacent to \"Petchenganickel\" group of smelting works. The content of Ni, Cu and S in pine needles near the works is as high as 0,7-1; 0,4-0,5 and 40-60 mmol/kg respectively, these values for metals being by an order of magnitude higher than those in unpolluted areas. With increase in the age of trees the content of N, P, K, Mg and S in pine needles decreases and the content of Ca, Al, Fe and Mn increases; accumulation of Ni and Cu in pine needles is usually observed near the smelting works.

Information about larval ecology is fundamental in entomological research; however, in many insect species the larval habitat is still unknown. In the present project, Diptera insects were reared from various microhabitats and substrates of coniferous and deciduous forests of southern Norway. The material included 54 species that have not been reared earlier and 213 new species-microhabitat relationships. Many new records were found in dead wood of common tree species, such as Picea abies, Populus tremula and Fraxinus excelsior. Microhabitats associated with the root zone of windfelled trees showed the highest number of new species-microhabitat relationships.
