A Working Group on Quality Assurance/Quality Control of analyses in laboratories active in the chemical analysis of atmospheric deposition and soil water has been created within the framework of the Integrated Co-operative Programme on Assessment and Monitoring of Air Pollution Effects on Forests (UN-ECE/ICP Forests) and the EU/Forest Focus Programme (Regulation 2152/2003). This paper is a follow up to an earlier paper dealing with the validation of chemical analyses, in which validation techniques (ion balance, comparison between measured and calculated conductivity, Na/Cl ratio and relationship between different forms of N) were tested on a set of real analysis data obtained from different laboratories. This paper focuses on the validation of chemical analysis of samples containing high dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations ( 5 mg C L-1), where the ion balance criterion fails because of the presence of weak organic acids. About 6000 chemical analyses of bulk open field, throughfall and stemflow samples, which contained complete sets of all ion concentrations, conductivity and DOC, produced in 8 different laboratories, were used to calculate empirical relationships between DOC and the difference between the sum of cations and the sum of anions, with the aim to evaluate a formal charge per mg of organic C...

Rapporten gir resultater fra overvåkingen av Vansjø og dens tilførselselver/-bekker i 2007. Sommeren dette året var spesielt nedbørrik, noe som har hatt betydning for forholdene i innsjøen. Rapporten gir også resultater fra undersøkelser av bunnsedimentene i sjøen, samt eksperimenter med næringsstoffbegrensning. Et nytt budsjett for næringsstoffer og sediment for nedbørfeltet er beregnet basert på data fra perioden 2005-2007.

Denne artikkerlen gir først en oversikt over hvordan ulike grader av tørke virker inn på grasplantenes fotosyntese, skudd og rotvekst.  Deretter diskuteres vannlagringseven i greener med ulik sammensetning av vekstmediet, og de tre vanningsstategiene "Tørkebasert vanning", "Metningsvatning" og "Underskuddsvanning" defineres. Til skutt gis konkrete råd for vanning på greener.

Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is an important source of nitrogen input in many natural ecosystems. The rice production today depends on large amounts of chemical nitrogen fertilizer, which is an environmental hazard in rice producing areas. Better exploitation of BNF is one way to reduce the use of chemical nitrogen fertilizer in the future. In this study the active diazotrophic community was investigated in nitrogen fertilized and un-fertilized rice field soils in Fujian Province, southeast China by PCR - DGGE of nifH mRNA, and the potential community by PCR - DGGE of the nifH gene. A total of 45 sequences representing 33 different sequence types were recovered from the DGGE gels. The retrieved cDNA sequences representing the active population of diazotrophs both in fertilized and un-fertilized soils dispersed throughout the nifH clades (alpha-, beta- and gamma Proteobacteria, Firmicutes and Archaea). Thirteen of the sequence types were most closely related to Azoarcus endophytes indicating widespread associations between heterotrophic nitrogen fixing bacteria and rice (Oryza sativa). The majority of the 13 sequence types were identified from the cDNA samples, showing that the Azoarcus might be an important active nitrogen fixing diazotroph in the paddy field. None of the sequence types were closly related to cyanobacteria, nevertheless previous studies from the same area had documented the prescence of cyanobacteira in rice fields. The lack of identified cyanobacteria might be due to template discrimination in the PCR reactions, or low abundance of cyanobacteria compared to heterotrophic nitrogen fixing bacteria.
