As part of four European ecosystem manipulation experiments in coniferous forests, field-scale 15N tracer experiments have been carried out. The experiments involved a year-long addition of 15NH4 and/or 15NO3- to throughfall at experimental plots with different N inputs. The fate of this applied 15N in the important ecosystems pools (trees, ground vegetation, forest floor and mineral soil), as well as in drainage was measured. About 10-30% of added 15N was taken up by the trees and 10-15% was retained in the mineral soil. Both retention efficiencies were found to be constant with N input. The part of 15N retained in the organic layer was relatively high (20-45% of applied) at low N inputs (0-30 kg N ha-1 yr-1) but low (10-20%) at high N inputs (30-80 kg N ha-1 yr-1). An inverse relationship between N input and the loss of 15N in drainage was found: drainage losses increased as a function of N input. These results suggest that increased N inputs exceed the capacity of the microbial population to retain throughfall-N in the organic layer, with the result that N leaching increases.

The genus Bryomyia comprises altogether eight species in the Palearctic region, including one new species Bryomyia amurensis Mamaev et Økland described in the present article. A revised key to the species of Bryomyia in the Holarctic region is presented.

Effects of isolation, habitat size and several microhabitat variables on presence/absence of the monophagous Bolitophagus reticulatus (L.) (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae) were investigated in 58 forest fragments in an agricultural landscape (15 km2) in south-eastern Norway. All potential habitats of the beetle, dead Fomes fomentarius (L.) Kickx basidiocarps (n=587), were collected from trees (n=185) within the study area. The basidiocarps were dissected and the number of B. reticulatus specimens (larvae, pupae and adults) counted. The material was analysed at four distinguishable spatial scales: basidiocarp-, tree-, tree-group- and forest island level. Different patterns of beetle presence emerged at the different scales. Increasing habitat size and decreasing degree of isolation increased the probability of B. reticulatus presence at three (basidiocarp-, tree- and forest island level) and one (tree level) scales, respectively, whilst no such trends were found at the fourth level (tree-group level). Increasing insolation and thereby higher ambient temperatures, indicated by several microhabitat variables, improved the probability of beetle presence amongst the trees. The number of beetle specimens correlated positively with an increase in the habitat size at the tree level.
