In a field experiment in southernmost Norway four young trees of each of eight coniferous species were subjected to artificial inoculation with the pathogenic blue-stain fungus Ophiostoma polonicum, associated with the spruce bark beetle Ips typographus. A dose previously known to be lethal to most Norway spruce trees also killed individuals of Sitka, white, and black spruce, and Douglas fir. All Scots and lodgepole pines, and subalpine firs survived the given load of infection. Douglas fir did not exhibit the induced resinous defence reaction seen in spruce and pine. The fungus did not proliferate in the phloem of Douglas fir, but spread more easily in a tangential direction in the sapwood of this species than in spruce.

3-year old Norway spruce seedlings from two clonal families were exposed to 10 hours per day with varying concentrations of ozone during the two months shoot elongation period. The plants were then placed in a cold climate chamber with 12 hours photoperiod and tested for frost resistace during the period of dormancy induction.There was a non-linear response on ozone, i.e. the highest sensitivity in one of the families was found at low (40 ppm) concentration. The other family showed no ozone response on frost hardiness.At low ozone concentrations there was a significant increase in shoot growth, relative to control plants, but at 80 and 160 ppm there was significant reduction in all growth parameters.Chloroplast damage and reduced chlorophyll content was found at the highest concentration. The carbohydrate amounts (mg/plant) decreased with increasing ozone concentrations, indicating reduced photosynthesis rates and/or increased respiration rates. There was also reduced formation of new roots already at 40 ppm ozone.
