For establishment and growth of newly planted seedlings it is essential to overcome environmental stress at the planting site. Adding the amino acid arginine at planting is a novel treatment aiming at increased establishment success, so far tested in a limited number of applied studies. We examined the effects of adding arginine-phosphate (arGrow®), mechanical site preparation (MSP), and planting time on survival and growth of Norway spruce and Scots pine seedlings in two field experiments in boreal southeastern Norway. After three growing seasons, survival for spring planted seedlings of both species was significantly better following MSP, while addition of arginine-phosphate did not have any effect. Autumn planted pine seedlings with MSP and arginine had higher survival and also larger diameter than spring planted ones with MSP but without arginine. Spruce and pine seedlings with MSP were taller and had larger diameter than those without MSP. For spring planted seedlings of both species, dry weight of roots and shoots was positively affected by MSP, but not by arginine. To conclude, arginine-phosphate had neutral to modestly positive effects on survival and growth, while MSP had clear positive effects. The effect of planting time varied with species.

NIBIO produces Green Structure Maps (GSM) for Norway that cover built-up areas, including cabin areas. GSM is a hybrid product based on information from remote sensing data and detailed national vector datasets such as roads, water, buildings, and land use. GSM contains 8 classes: Ground, Shrub, Tree, Grey, Road, Water, Building, and Agriculture. QGIS is excellently suited for visual control of GSM. Based on the size of the dataset (number of polygons), a significant random sample of each class is selected to check whether it is correctly classified. You can organize the map layers into different themes, set up QGIS with multiple map windows showing different themes and zoom levels, and use existing plugins to jump from polygon to polygon and compare with aerial images and code whether the classification is correct or not - quickly and efficiently. More comprehensive statistics can then be calculated, and the results can be compared against the requirements to determine if the GSM meets the standards.
