Rapporten presenterer sammendrag av resultatene for 2005 fra tre overvåkingsprogrammer: “Overvåking av langtransportert forurenset luft og nedbør”, “Overvåkingsprogram for skogskader” (OPS) og “Program for terrestrisk naturovervåking” (TOV). Disse tre programmene organiserer omfattende måleprogrammer på luft, vann, jord, skog og annen vegetasjon og akvatisk og terrestrisk fauna. Her presenteres en kortfattet og samlet oversikt over de viktigste resultatene fra de tre overvåkingsprogrammene. For en grundig dokumentasjon om gjennomføring og resultater henvises til rapportene som denne rapporten baserer seg på.

Hensikten med arbeidet var å fremskaffe representative tall for basisegenskaper hos bartrevirke fra natur- og kulturskog. Denne rapporten omhandler anatomiske- (bark, kjerneved), fysiske- (basisdensitet, rådensitet) og geometriske egenskaper (avsmaling, flattrykking). Resultatene fra de andre egenskapsundersøkelsene publiseres ved NTI (tekniske-/mekaniske egenskaper, fysiske egenskaper) og PFI (fiberegenskaper, andre anatomiske egenskaper). Materialet i denne undersøkelsen besto av i alt 132 gran- og 60 furutrær fra forskjellige geografiske områder på Øst- og Sørlandet. Når det gjelder gran, strakk området seg fra Vestfold/Telemark i sør til Stange/Romedal i nord, for furu fra Evje/Hornnes i sør til nord i Østerdalen (Rendalen). Både gran- og furumaterialet ble samlet inn i området fra ca. 100 til 500 m.o.h. Granmaterialet representerer både kultur- og naturskog, mens hele furumaterialet ble samlet inn i naturskog. Resultatene i denne rapporten sammen med resultater fremskaffet ved NTI og PFI, er lagret i en felles database. Dette gir en unik mulighet til å kople ulike egenskaper for hvert enkelt tre.

Based on field observations of leaf morphology and variation in chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) in Scandinavia, Norway has been suggested as a suture zone for elm (Ulmus glabra) from different glacial refugia. The aim of this paper was to study the geographical concordance between the maternally inherited cpDNA markers (16 populations) and the assumed polygenic and biparentally inherited leaf traits, studied in a field trial (five populations).Two cpDNA haplotypes were detected, but without geographical structure. Leaf traits showed a gradient from typical ssp. montana traits (relatively long, long tapering, absent acute lobes) in western populations to more ssp. glabra-like traits (relatively broad, short tapering, acute lobes present) in eastern and northern populations.The overall geographical concordance between haplotype distribution and leaf traits was limited, probably owing to different inheritance of cpDNA and leaf traits, but the spatial variation in leaf traits and cpDNA in a subset of common populations (n=5) was compatible with a dual migration of elm to Scandinavia. Both measures suggest a broad suture zone, covering the entire distribution of elm in Norway.The results are discussed in relation to the use of maternally inherited markers, such as cpDNA, in delimiting suture zones.

The optimal utilisation of a wood raw material is dependent on the wood properties. In this study near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy was used to non-destructively predict density, modulus of elasticity, and modulus of rupture for small clear specimens cut from Picea abies (L.) H. Karst. (Norway spruce) trees.NIR spectra were recorded directly on the wood surface of each specimen as close as possible to the fracture developed during the bending test. Models were calibrated using partial least squares regression. The validation method was test set validation by data splitting.The correlation between predicted and measured values was highest for modulus of elasticity (0.86), followed by modulus of rupture (0.84) and density (0.79). The validation of the models showed that the average accuracies of predictions were 20.3 kg/m3 for density, 1.1 GPa for modulus of elasticity, and 6.1 MPa for modulus of rupture.Results are comparable to what has been found for other tree species, such as Pinus radiata D. Don (radiata pine), Pinus taeda L. (loblolly pine), and Larix decidua Mill. (European larch). Models for predicting density, modulus of elasticity, and modulus of rupture based on NIR spectra outperformed simple regression models using the mean annual ring width as the independent variable.NIR spectroscopy is a rapid tool for characterising organic materials. It requires minimal sample preparation and spectra are collected on solid wood, rapidly and nondestructively. For these reasons the method should be tested in production lines for lumber. In future research we aim for reliable predictions of mechanical properties of industrially manufactured lumber using models based on NIR spectroscopy and multivariate statistical methods.

Våren 2002 oppdaget flere skogeiere at en del av granplantene som ble plantet ut høsten før hadde toppavdøing. Samtidig registrerte planteskolebestyrere at noen av granplantene som skulle plantes ut hadde visnesymptomer. Ved Skogforsk ble disse plantene undersøkt ved hjelp av tradisjonelle og moderne molekylære teknikker.

The use of partial cuttings in spruce (Picea abies L. Karst.) stands is increasing in Norway, especially at sites where special consideration must be taken regarding biodiversity or the recreational value of the forest. However, obtaining sufficient numbers of vital natural regeneration using partial cuttings can be challenging in the Nordic countries, due to harsh climatic conditions and tough competition.We wanted to relate the establishment and growth of natural spruce regeneration to soil conditions and understorey light levels using a thirteen year old field trial with different types of partial cuttings. The field trial was established in a Norway spruce forest on a hillside with varying soil conditions in Oslo, SE Norway. The harvesting treatments included thinning from above, single-tree selection, group felling, shelterwood cuttings and small clear cuts, resulting in a range of cutting intensities and gap sizes.In 2005, spruce seedling establishment as well as growth variables of the tallest seedlings were registered in circular plots of 50 m2 in the different treatments, and soil thickness and moisture class were registered in the same plots. Samples of seedling needles were tested for nitrogen content. Light levels (diffuse, direct and total radiation) below the canopy were measured for each circular plot using hemispherical photography.A covariance analysis with light level as the continuous variable was used to test whether seedling establishment or growth was dependent of soil depth, moisture class or light levels. Diffuse light values corresponded best with seedling growth. The levels of diffuse light in the partial cuttings varied from 19 to 30 % of above canopy values, with the shelterwoods and the group fellings having the highest levels. Still, the clear cuts had light levels more than twice as high as the shelterwoods.The number of spruce regeneration varied substantially between plots with the same harvesting treatment. Seedling numbers were dependent on soil conditions, and were highest on sites with good moisture conditions and soil thickness 20 cm. The covariance analysis did not give a significant effect of light values on spruce seedling number, but there was a tendency to better regeneration at medium light levels.However, the growth of the seedlings was strongly dependent on light levels, with taller leader length and total growth as well as a higher number of annual shoots under good light conditions.Soil depth was insignificant for seedling growth, but moisture class affected annual height growth. Nitrogen concentration in seedling needles was positively correlated with light conditions and negatively with stand density in the vicinity of the seedling, which indicates that the positive effect of large gaps on seedling growth may be caused by decreased competition for nutrients as well as increased radiation levels. Soil depth did not influence the nitrogen concentration.
