• This chapter summarises biodiversity responses to continuous cover forestry (CCF). The comparator throughout this chapter is rotation forestry (RF) and its main harvesting method—clearcutting—unless otherwise stated. • Research on the biodiversity effects of logging methods applied in CCF (mostly selection or gap cutting) mainly concerns the short-term effects of measures taken in mature, originally fairly even-aged forests, at best 10–15 years after cutting. Thus far, no surveys or chronosequences cover the whole rotation period (60–100 years). • Continuous cover forestry is likely to beneft species that suffer when the tree cover is removed, such as bilberry and its associated species. Species requiring spatial continuity in host trees or canopy cover may also benefit. • Selection cutting may preserve the majority of species in the mature forest, but the most sensitive species may decline or even disappear. Gap cutting (diameter 20–50 m) affects forest-interior species relatively little, but species’ abundances in gaps change with increasing gap size. Shelterwood cutting seems to closely resemble selection cutting in terms of species responses. In the long term, however, shelterwood cutting results in an even-aged and sparse overstorey, which does not produce the biodiversity benefits of CCF. • Species that have declined due to forestry mostly require large living and dead trees. The preservation of these species is not ensured by CCF alone, but requires deliberately maintaining these structural features. • A mosaic of different forest-management practices within landscapes may provide complementary ways to maintain rich biodiversity.

Digestate from the biogas facility of IVAR at Grødaland, Rogaland County was tested for fertilizer effects in the production of turf gras in a pot experiment at NIBIO Særheim. Digestate was applied to the pot soil, with quantities equivalent to 0, 5, 10 and 20 kg N/daa and compared to mineral fertilizers with the same N-quantities. Germination of the gras seeds was not affected by neither digestate nor mineral fertilizers. The biomass production was largest when fertilized with mineral fertilizer, which increased the gras growth also when 5 kg N/daa was applied, with maximal yield reached at 10 kg N/daa. Digestate increased biomass production significantly, with approximately the same biomass increase from levels of 5 to 10 and to 20 kg N/daa. The digestate had a lower nitrogen use efficiency than mineral fertilizers, due to lack of complete mineralization, or delayed mineralization compared to the time of the plant’s needs for N.
