Abstract
With rising temperatures and shifting rainfall patterns driven by climate change, conditions for pathogen-plant interactions will be affected based on the specific pathogen and plant species involved. In general, increased pathogen activity is expected in Norwegian grasslands. Recent breeding efforts in Norway have concentrated primarily on developing varieties resistant to fungal diseases that cause winter damage. However, their resistance against other diseases may fall short, as they have not been targeted in the Norwegian breeding programme. As a result, a comprehensive evaluation of the current situation is essential. This ongoing project aims to identify foliar fungal species and disease distribution in breeding lines and varieties of four prominent meadow species: timothy, perennial ryegrass, meadow fescue and red clover. The study encompasses four locations in Norway, spanning from 60 to 69° N. Observations from the first season indicated relatively good resistance to both winter and growing season-related fungi in the investigated breeding material of timothy. The observations indicated that perennial ryegrass is more susceptible to winter diseases, whereas its resistance to growing-season diseases is relatively good. Conversely, meadow fescue and red clover displayed moderate susceptibility to fungal diseases during the growing season but demonstrated commendable resistance to overwintering fungi.

Abstract
The flammability of cellulosic material restricts its use in insulation and packaging applications. This study examined carbon-based additives to protect cellulose paper against thermal degradation. Carbon nanotubes (CNT) and expandable graphite (EG) were used to modify paper material. Thermal analysis was performed to examine the different modification systems. Our results showed consistently that the addition of EG resulted in an increased fire resistance in the mini fire tube (MFT) test, limited oxygen index (LOI) measurements, and mass loss calorimeter (MLC). In combination with CNT, the heat-release rate could be drastically reduced. Thermal analysis (DSC with TG analysis) revealed that EG had a longer resistance to thermal degradation. The developed composite material can be used, depending on the needs of the industry, as part of thin panel material, partition, or fireproof cladding in construction, railways, transport, automotive, and shipbuilding industries.
