The potential of ×Festulolium as a forage species for Nordic conditions was investigated by comparing Norwegian candivars (LpFp-T, LmFp-T, LpFp-D-N, LpFp-D-UK) differing in parental origin and ploidy level with commercial cultivars of ×Festulolium (Hykor, Felopa), the parental species perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis L.), and timothy (Phleum pratense L.). Plant development was observed as leaf:stem ratio and standardised development stage, and dry matter yield and digestibility were studied throughout two consecutive harvest seasons (2007 and 2008) as an effect of taking the first cut at four maturity stages, namely: 1) vegetative growth, 2) early heading), 3) heading and 4) anthesis, and then consecutive cuts throughout the season. Observations were made at two locations in Norway (61°N, 67°N). Leaf:stem ratio and standardised development stage were affected by maturity stage, and the loloid types of ×Festulolium (Felopa and the candivars) grouped between the parental species as to developmental pattern. The most extreme changes across maturity stages 1-4 in first cut were seen in the festucoid type Hykor (smallest) and in timothy (largest). Across maturity stages 2 and 3, for two years Hykor obtained higher dry matter yield than the other entries, but overall digestible dry matter yield was equal in Hykor and LpFp-T due to the better digestibility in LpFp-T. The lower dry matter yield obtained in ×Festulolium Felopa, the diploid candivars and LmFp-T was mainly due to winter damages. Consistency was found between the locations for the entries investigated. For Nordic growing conditions, in which winter hardiness is required for commercial cultivars, the amphitetraploid breeding approach of perennial ryegrass and meadow fescue should be pursued. It is the parental origin of the candivar LpFp-T, which was comparable to Hykor, the best of the commercial ×Festulolium cultivars, and performed better than the cultivars of the parental species.

Common juniper (Juniperus communis) hosts not many pests or pathogens, but recently increasing needle blight has been observed in Norway. During a survey the needle blight was recorded in many parts of southern Norway but not above 550 m a.s.l., and it has been found both in forests, pastures and gardens. Trees are affected differently; some trees seem to be unaffected, while other trees may be killed. The cause of the disease is a fungus in the family Mycosphaerellaceae hitherto not reported from Norway. In forest pathology literature it has been named Stigmina juniperina, but also Asperisporium juniperinum. However, based on results of molecular sequence analyses it is proposed here that a more appropriate name should be Passalora juniperina (Georgescu & Badea) H. Solheim comb. Nov.

Rot fungi are a major problem in the construction sector, and method to study under which moisture and temperature coefficients they grow are therefore of significant interest. Measurements of heat production rate have been made on wood samples with the brown rot fungus Postia placenta at different moisture contents (MCs). The results clearly show the heat production rate (ameasure of respiration rate and fungal activity) is moisture-dependent. For most cases, less heat was produced when the MC was decreased, and more heat was produced when the MC was increased. It was also found that when the MC increased after a dry period, the increase in activity was significantly delayed. However, if the moisture state was then kept constant at a high level, the activity slowly increased, showing that the fungi need time to recover back to the original activity level after drying. Isothermal calorimetry is a measurement technique well suited for the study of the activity of wood-decaying fungi as a function of temperature and moisture content.

Aim of study: The main aim of the work was to summarize availability, quality and comparability of on-going European Research and Monitoring Networks (ERMN), based on the results of a COST FP0903 Action questionnaire carried out in September 2010 and May 2012. Area of study: The COST Action FP0903 involves 29 European countries and 4 non-COST institutions from USA, Morocco and Tunisia. In this study, the total of 22 replies to the questionnaire from 18 countries were included. Materials and methods: Based on the feedback from the Action FP0903 countries, the most popular European Networks were identified. Thereafter, the access to the network database, available quality assurance/quality control procedures and publication were described. Finally, the so-called “Supersites” concept, defined as a “highly instrumented research infrastructure, for both research and monitoring of soil-plant-atmosphere interactions” was discussed. Main results: The result of the survey indicate that the vast majority of the Action FP0903 countries participate in the International Cooperative Programme on Assessment and Monitoring of Air Pollution Effects on Forest (ICP Forest). The multi-disciplinary International Cooperative Programme on Integrated Monitoring of Air Pollution Effects on Ecosystems (ICPIM) is the second most widespread forest programme. Research highlights: To fully understand biochemical cycles in forest ecosystems, long-term monitoring is needed. Hence, a network of “Supersites”, is proposed. The application of the above infrastructure can be an effective way to attain a better integration of research and monitoring networks at forest sites in Europe. Key words: supersites; European Research Monitoring Networks; harmonization; forest.
