Wood protection in the last century has mainly been based on chemical treatments. Additionally, the type of construction of wooden buildings and the choice of wood species play an important role. Degradation of wood is not only caused by fungi or bacteria but also by insects. Termites have been a potential risk to wooden structures not only in the warmer regions of our continents but also beyond the regions of their natural habitat due to transport of wood. A new treatment, Electro osmotic pulsing technology (PLEOT), has been tested in lab termite tests and fungi tests. The two choice and non-choice termite tests were carried out using different duration of exposure and different initial wood moisture content. The results show growth of mould fungi on untreated wood samples with high initial wood moisture content after 4 weeks of termite testing whereas PLEOT treatment strongly reduced the development of moulds. Termite mortality was high on untreated wood samples with high initial moisture content but not on wood samples with low initial moisture content. This is explained by mould growth on the wetter samples, which termites don\"t tolerate in large amounts. The loss of wood mass due to termite attack could be reduced by using PLEOT. The mortality of termites was higher in test systems with protected wood samples than untreated samples. PLEOT could be used successfully against fungal attack. The treatment reduced on the one hand mould growth in a termite test and on the other hand reduced strongly the attack of brown rot fungi in a lab test.

Når vi tynner skogen, påvirker det fremtidig tømmerproduksjon, det biologiske mangfoldet i skogbunnen under trærne og skogens opptak av karbondioksid.

Rapporten presenterer sammendrag av resultatene for 2010 fra tre overvåkingsprogrammer: “Overvåking av langtransportert forurenset luft og nedbør”, ”Overvåkingsprogram for skogskader” (OPS) og “Program for terrestrisk naturovervåking” (TOV). The report presents results for 2010 from three national monitoring programmes on long-range transboundary air pollution.

Dammer og bekker er viktige småbiotoper i jordbrukets kulturlandskap. Ofte er det knyttet et spesielt dyre- og planteliv til disse landskapselementene. På grunn av intensivering av jordbruket ble mange av bekkene og dammene fylt igjen, og dyre- og plantearter mistet etter hvert leveområdene sine. Dette har medført at mye av det særegne dyre- og plantelivet har gått tilbake.

Med uttrykket klimaskoger menes skogkledde arealer som i et langsiktig perspektiv forvaltes for å oppta CO2 fra atmosfæren. Det er i kyststrøkene fra Rogaland til Finnmark at det i første rekke finnes arealer som kan benyttes som klimaskoger. Valg av treslag har svært stor betydning for CO2-binding...

I skogen pågår en intens kamp mellom barkbille og gran. Forskning avdekker hvordan treet forsvarer seg med biokjemiske våpen, mens barkbilla, hvis den får overtaket, kan felle enorme skogområder.

A changing climate will likely influence the selection of tree species in the future, and this may in turn affect the size of the pools and fluxes of carbon. Tree species differ in growth rate, fine-root turnover and quality of litter and tend to produce different types of understory vegetation. In Sweden three tree species (Norway spruce [Picea abies] 43%, Scots pine [Pinus sylvestris] 39% and birch [Betula spp.] 11%) dominate. In the present study we used field experiments in southern Sweden to test if these tree species differed in root distribution and turnover.

Biodiversity is assumed to have high value for many people, but the necessary preservation also incurs a cost for the forest owner. Typically, studies of this cost are at the stand level, and hence, not very accurate as the cost may vary even within the stand. In this work, we use a 1m×1m grid, generated from LIDAR data, to estimate the cost for harvesting and forwarding. The method could be utilized to calculate compensation, and to select between key woodland habitats to minimise the cost. In three of four test cases, the main cost was reduced harvested volume, but in one case the key woodland habitat also made the harvesting operations more expensive.

A long-term increase in radial tree growth has been reported in tropical (Lloyd & Farquhar 2008), temperate (Spiecker 1996, Voelker et al. 2006), alpine (Rolland et al. 1998) and boreal forests (Hofgaard et al. 1999) over the last decades. Variations in forest growth patterns have been ascribed to different causes, such as longer growing seasons due to climate warming (Hu et al. 2010), changes in land management practices (Hunter & Shuck, 2002), nitrogen deposition (Magnani et al. 2007), and atmospheric CO2 enhancement (Voelker et al. 2006). Tree-ring analyses provide detailed information on the past growth of forests. In order to assess the effect of climate change on forest growth, non-climatic variation should be removed from treering series. The effect of endogenous (inter-tree competition) and exogenous (insects attacks, fires, storms, human influence, etc.) disturbances on tree-ring series can be detected and reduced by considering trees from different sites. Furthermore, as tree-ring width generally decreases as trees grow older and larger, age-related growth trend should be removed, to preserve climatic lowfrequency variability of chronologies. Different detrending methods used to remove non-climatic variations need to be adapted to the objectives of a particular study....
