The spatio-temporal heterogeneity of in-ground wood decay risk is important to service life planning of timber components. To achieve a desired service life in years related to a component’s expected performance, means accurately matching the durability characteristics of the wooden material to the exposure location. In this context, the integration of service life planning of timber with remote-sensing data services shows promise. Soil moisture and temperature data from the ERA5-Land repository were extracted for Europe over a 9 × 9 km point grid, between January 1993 and December 2022. The data were then appropriately scaled and used as input to an in-ground wood decay dose–response model. The resulting hazard map plotted dose to indicate annual in-ground wood decay risk, as a function of exposure to daily soil temperature and soil moisture conditions. Regions with low decay risk reflected temperature-limiting, oxygen-limiting or moisture-limiting soil conditions, all of which are unsuitable for fungal decay processes. Temporal investigations of the processed data revealed fungal growth windows influenced by seasonality. By better understanding the effects and occurrences of these unfavourable fungal decay conditions, the underlying dose–response model can be refined to deliver more accurate predictions of service life for in-ground wooden components.

In this self-tasking scoping review, VKM will map research about the environmental impacts of biodegradable plastics, including biodegradation rates and material persistence in different environments and geographical regions, the influence on microbial ecology and activity, and ecotoxicological effects of materials and associated chemical substances. Related to this is also research associated with the development of methodology, standards, environmental risk assessment, life cycle impact analyses, material sources and properties of biodegradable plastics and products. The aim is to 1) determine the extent of evidence summarised in reviews and original research papers within this emerging research area and 2) map the evidence according to the materials and chemicals studied, types of environments and geographical regions covered, the hypotheses addressed, the type of endpoints assessed and the reported key findings. Systematic literature searches will be performed to identify the summarised evidence, applying APRIO to develop a tailored search protocol that addresses the multi- and cross-disciplinary nature of the research area. We will select and map the identified publications applying Rayyan and sort them into three categories based on their main scientific focus and aim of study: 1) material properties and application, 2) biodegradation and microbial ecology, and 3) ecotoxicology. There will be no geographical restrictions on the search and study selection, but in the data charting process we will highlight findings relevant to Norway and other Nordic countries. The current project adheres to the “Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and MetaAnalyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) Checklist” for protocol development and reporting. We will address uncertainties associated with research studies applying EFSA guidelines and their generic list of common types of uncertainty affecting scientific studies and assessments.

Blandingsbestand av gran og furu kan bidra til å opprettholde og til og med øke produktiviteten i barskogbestand, spesielt på midlere boniteter og under utfordrende klimaforhold. Det er en av konklusjonene til artikkelforfatterne som har studert produktivitet og motstandsdyktighet i norske barblandingsskoger.
