Strukturelle endringer i trelastindustrien medfører økt transportarbeid. Stordriftsfordelene er resultat av en avveining mellom reduserte produksjonskostnader og økte kostnader for tømmertransport. Med betydelige variasjoner med hensyn til både transportavstand og transportkostnad per tonnkm, kan stordriftsfordelene variere mellom regioner. Forholdet mellom virkesforbruk og gjennomsnittlig transportavstand ble undersøkt som første del av et kommende doktorarbeid innen logistikk, der de regionale forskjellene ble kvantifisert.

On the local county monitoring plots located throughout Norway a reduction of crown density has been noted during 1988-97. The aim of this study was to determine whether this change could be attributed to normal effects from increased age on the plots.The dataset comprised around 580 plots and 27 000 single trees of Norway spruce, where each tree was provided with ten years of crown density measures. A two step approach was used, firstly to search for an expectancy for normal reduction of crown density by age derived from the dataset, and then to compare this with the actual reduction. The interpretation was somewhat complicated as the various results were tangled into each other.Highly significant correlations were found between crown density and age. The relationship indicated an annual reduction of crown density around 0.12%-units, however, the relationship varied both between years and between regions, and it was not possible to definitely determine whether the relationship was best described by linear or non-linear models.Of major importance here is that the relationship appeared to be influenced by the presence of stresses, which effects tended to be more severe in old stands. Based on this it seems questionable whether an expectancy for normal ageing can be properly defined. However, in the present study it could still be definitely determined that the mean crown density change of -0.41%-units annually was too negative to be attributed to normal ageing, as it was clearly below all the suggested expectancies from the various models.This suggests that the amount of stress in the period under study has been higher than normal, and this encourages the search for causal agents in further studies. Changes in silviculture may have had some influence.The results were valid for most of Norway, with the exception of western and northern regions. Crown density assessments are subjective, which may possibly give erroneous time trends, however, it is argued that this is less likely to be of major importance in the present data.

Age trends of phenotypic, environmental, and additive genetic variance and heritability were estimated for overall density and its components earlywood and latewood densities and latewood proportion. The objective was to acquire information for both individual and cumulated rings from ring number 3 to 12 counted from the pith. Age-age correlations were calculated for cumulated density traits only. The wood density data were obtained with X-ray analysis of increment cores from 47 open-pollinated families of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.). The families had earlywood and latewood with significant differences in density for individual and cumulated rings and consequently for overall density. The latewood proportion had significant family variation for cumulated rings but not for all individual rings. Large fluctuations in environmental variance caused fluctuations in heritability estimates for successive rings. A strong decrease in environmental variance for all cumulated traits, especially from ring 3 to 5, resulted in a steady increase in heritability estimates. The latewood density had the highest heritability estimates and latewood proportion the lowest for both individual and cumulated rings. Overall density and the cumulated components at cambial age 12 showed strong genetic correlations with their respective traits at all younger ages.
