Kortdagsbehandling i planteskolene sikrer god innvintring og er derfor anbefalt før tidlig høstplanting av gran. Forsøk viser at kortdagsbehandling utført på riktig tidspunkt også forbedrer plantenes frosttoleranse i vekstfasen etter utplanting.

This analysis is based on climatic data and increment cores from about 550 Forest officers from latitude 58-70N and longitude 6-18E. The strength of the data is the high number of plots scattering over most of the Norway spruce forest area in Norway. Tree ring-widths were transformed to ring indices to remove age disturbances and strengthen the climatic signal on the tree growth.We used regression analyses to examine the annually growth responses of these ring indices against 42 monthly climatic variables. The climatic variables we used were mean month temperature, precipitation and Palmer drought severity index (PDSI) with a range from previous year July to current years August.The results showed some correlations of climate on growth, with the June weather as most important. The most important variable in the lowlands (altitude 500 m) of southeastern Norway was the June precipitation, and the June temperature in the rest of the country.

This study is based on data from the Level I and from forest Officers plots. We combined three sets of data on growth, deposition and soil chemistry, totally 204 plots in south-eastern and mid-Norway. As response variable we used observed growth in % of estimated growth calculated from standard Norwegian growth models. In this way we filtered out the influence of site and stand properties as this were included in the model.The dependent deposition variable used was the N deposition from the national air and precipitation monitoring program. The dependent soil chemistry variables were N, C/N ratio, base saturation, pH, Al, and Ca/Al ratio. Soil chemistry variables should reflect the properties that most likely are influenced by S and N deposition, and that could influence the trees in the hypothesised ways.We used analyses of covariance as statistical method. Growth was positively correlated to nitrogen deposition and to soil nitrogen, and negatively correlated to the C/N ratio in the soil. Also, nitrogen deposition was positively correlated to soil nitrogen and negatively to soil C/N.It was concluded that N deposition probably has increased N availability and thereby growth in southernmost Norway with an order of magnitude around 25%. There were no relationships between growth and the soil acidification variables pH, base saturation, Al concentration or Ca/Al-ratio, and we concluded that no evidence for negative effects of soil acidification on forest growth was found.

We examined growth responses of Norway spruce using tree-ring series from increment cores and monthly climate variables over the period 19001998. The 1398 cores were selected from 588 plots scattered all over Norway. We correlated tree-ring indices with temperature, precipitation, Palmer drought severity index and length of the growing season.The weather in June had the largest influence on ring widths. However, two different, and almost opposite, response types were found: Tree growth was restricted by June precipitation in the lowlands in southeastern Norway, but by the June temperature in other regions and at high altitudes.In order to define the shift between these two main response types, we correlated response functions with various 30-year mean climatic variables, including humidity and aridity indices. The 30-year mean June temperature was the variable most clearly showing this shift in response, with a threshold at 1213C. At sites with normal temperature below this threshold, spruce responded positively to unusually warm and dry June months, and vice versa.

In this study, we present a new method for single tree segmentation and characterization from a canopy surface model (CSM), and its corresponding point cloud, based on airborne laser scanning. The method comprises new algorithms for controlling the shape of crown segments, and for residual adjustment of the canopy surface model (CSM). We present a new criterion that measures the success of locating trees, and demonstrate how this criterion can be used for optimizing the degree of CSM smoothing. From the adjusted CSM segments, we derived tree height and crown diameter, and based on all first laser pulse measurements within the segments we derived crown-base height. The method was applied and validated in a Norway spruce dominated forest reserve having a heterogeneous structure. The number of trees automatically detected varied with social status of the trees, from 93 percent of the dominant trees to 19 percent of the suppressed trees. The RMSE values for tree height, crown diameter, and crown-base height were around 1.2 m, 1.1 m, and 3.5 m, respectively. The method overestimated crown diameter (0.8 m) and crown base height (3.0 m).

Overvåkingsprogrammet for skogskader (OPS) har siden starten registrert skader på de undersøkte trærne. Målet med skaderegistreringene har vært og vil fortsatt være å forklare variasjoner i trærnes kronetetthet og kronefarge. Men fra og med 2005 ønsker ICP Forests en standardisert rapportering av skader på trær fra alle land som deltar i det europeiske overvåkingsprogrammet. En slik harmonisering av registreringer vil over tid kunne gi et bilde av utbredelse, forekomst og skadelige virkninger av insekter, sopp, værforhold eller andre årsaker som påvirker skogen i Europa. Uten denne informasjonen vil det være svært vanskelig å tolke kronetetthets- og kronefargeresultatene. Data fra skogskaderegistreringene vil også kunne bli brukt i andre internasjonale skogpolitiske sammenhenger, som blant annet spørsmålet om bærekraftig skogbruk. For å imøtekomme kravene i den nye internasjonale instruksen har Skogforsk og NIJOS i samarbeid plukket ut viktige sopper, insekter, vilt/beitedyr, værforhold og andre årsaker som kan påvirke trærne i norsk skog. De viktigste er presentert i dette heftet. Tekstene og bildene skal være en hjelp til gjenkjenning av skadene som kan observeres i trekronene.
