Phytoremediation as a means of cleaning up polluted soils has gained popularity during the last decade due to its convenience and low costs of installation and maintenance. When the target pollutant is biodegradable, this technology exploits the stimulating effect that roots have on microbial processes and physical/chemical modifications in the rhizosphere.Among the microorganisms that affect rhizosphere processes, symbiotic fungi forming mycorrhizas induce a series of changes in plant physiology, nutrient availability and microbial composition that may determine the outcome of a phytoremediation attempt. Beyond the rhizosphere, mycorrhizal hyphae act as the roots of the roots, and may thus extend the rhizosphere into the bulk soil by creating a new interface of soil-plant interactions: the hyphosphere.We here discuss some of the recent results on phytoremediation of organic pollutants with emphasis on processes in the mycorrhizosphere, and highlight future research priorities

Kartlegging av biologisk mangfold er foretatt i Nesodden kommune. Til sammen 107 lokaliteter er kartfestet og beskrevet, fordelt på 12 ulike naturtyper. Flest lokaliteter ble registrert i naturtypene dammer, rik edelløvskog og kalkrike enger. Lokalitetenes naturverdi er vurdert. Til sammen 31 lokaliteter er gitt verdien svært viktig, 33 er rangert som viktige, mens 43 har lokal verdi. En høy andel dammer ble vurdert som svært viktige. En oversikt over kjente forekomster med truede og sjeldne arter er også gitt.

Modern information technology allows the investigation of the characteristic properties of living systems from a new perspective. Which of the ecosystem features are necessary conditions resulting from their constraints, which are accidental, constituting contingent facts of their respective histories?As long as we know of a single phylogenetic tree in nature, the difference is hard to tell, rendering the reconstruction and realisation of artificial ecologies a major challenge. It has been taken up by the high technology of the time since decades; since two decades, IT is leading in this respect.Are there life forms that can be created in contemporary computers, and which ones? Successes and failures of a number of virtualizations are forming de facto constraints for theoretical ecosystem research. Artificial Life (AL) research appears to be not just another attempt towards realistic models for ecological systems, but undermines the basic assumptions of most of conventional modeling in this area: in AL, behavior is in general irreducible to internal mechanisms; behavior results rather from interactive and intentional usage of the simulation.We try to elucidate and demonstrate the crucial role of interaction in these simulations, drawing from current developments in theoretical computer science as well as a number of examples. We propose a new classification of ecosystem models according to its degree of interactivity.
