Relationships between crown density and growth of Norway spruce stands are presented, after removal of the effects of major natural influences. On 569 monitoring plots comprising 40 000 trees, crown density has been annually assessed during 1991 to 1996.Stand growth was determined from measurements of diameter and height in 1991 and in 1996. Various models explaining mean crown density and annual growth of the stands as a function of natural factors, like age and site index, were compared.The influence of the natural factors were then removed by recalculating crown density to residual values from one preferred model, and by recalculating growth to relative values given in percent of model predictions.Crown density and its residuals were positively correlated to growth. These relationships were weak in terms of their ability to explain variation (low R2). However, the various relationships consistently indicated that roughly 1% change in crown density corresponded to 1% change in growth. This relationship also included common spatial variation over Norway: a large part of southeast Norway had unexplained low crown density and unexplained low growth.Some other, smaller regional consistencies were found as well. The study supports the use of crown density assessments, and further it encourages the use of growth data in the search for major stress factors responsible for present forest condition.

The effects of forest fragmentation on the abundance of red fox Vulpes vulpes and pine marten Martes martes were studied by combining snow-track data (1994-1997) with forest stands habitat information at landscape level. Thirteen study areas located in boreal conifer and boreal birch forest were selected for the investigation.The decreasing proportion of older forest and increasing proportion of young forest in the landscapes positively affected track density of red fox. With the habitat classification used, landscape composition explained 46% of the spatial variation in fox abundance. Earlier habitat-studies in Scandinavian conclude that pine marten is a habitat specialist, with an affinity for old spruce habitats.With this in mind we surprisingly didn`t find any effects on tracks density along the fragmentation gradient. We have no data to explain this results, but we hypothesis that there is a source-sink population dynamics at regional scale. Still some large landscapes with high proportion of remnant habitats could be a source for the population in highly fragmentated landscapes.The abundance of red fox and pine marten were not negatively correlated, indicating that competition and intraguild predation by red fox do not determine abundance of pine marten on a landscape scale.Anyway, a comparative study from Fulufjllet national park indicate that the impact of red fox on pine marten increase if landscapes were transformed from large-grained patches of remnant to fine-grained mosaics of clear cuts and old forest. We conclude that human-caused forest fragmentation increased the predation pressure of red fox on small game species, but that the evidence against the pine marten is weaker.

Between 1990 and 2010 the projected emissions of greenhouse gases in Norway is assumed to increase 24%. As a signatory to the Kyoto Protocol, Norway is supposed to limit the greenhouse gas emissions in the period 2008-2012 to 1% above the 1990 level.Potentially, forestry activities may contribute as a means to achieve the set target of emission reductions. The initial Norwegian views and proposals for definitions and accounting framework for activities under Articles 3.3 and 3.4 of the Kyoto Protocol was reported to the UNFCCC August 1 2000 by the Norwegian Ministry of Environment.There was also an annex to the submission with preliminary data and information on Articles 3.3 and 3.4 of the Kyoto Protocol. This paper is based on this annex, and focuses mainly on data for forests and other woodlands. Preliminary data indicate that approximately 85% of the carbon (C) pool of forested systems is found in the soil.The major part of the annual C sequestration takes place in living biomass and soil, while sequestration in wood products and landfills etc. has been found to be of minor importance. It must be noted that the reported data are preliminary and contain large uncertainties.
