Achieving multifunctionality on a parcel of land, or in a landscape as a whole, requires a delicate balance between the different functions. This is particularly so when one of the desired functions is agricultural production. This paper examines the special challenges involved when cultural landscapes are protected by law. Norwegian `Landscape Protection Areas` are intended to preserve the landscape character of special landscapes. Ideally these landscapes should preserve ecological functions, whilst at the same time allowing for recreation and tourism, and the economic returns to ensure continued use of the landscape in the future. Balancing these functions is fraught with difficulties. The former agricultural systems that shaped these cultural landscapes may no longer be viable from the perspective of food production, and biodiversity is notoriously bad at paying for itself. Are the farmers that own the land willing to take on new roles as landscape managers rather than food producers? And who will pay for this? We present results of a questionnaire to farmers that own or manage farmland in Landscape Protection Areas. Of the 893 respondents, almost a quarter claimed that their farm business had been negatively affected by landscape protection. Niche products or alternative income possibilities had not been realised. We found a generally negative attitude towards municipal authorities and 24 % of respondents were strongly against the establishment of new Landscape Protection Areas, even if the State paid compensation for their economic loss. Based on results of the study we suggest that major improvements to the protection system could be made simply by improving communication between management authorities and farmers and involving farmers in making management plans.

Feltinstruksen inneholder retningslinjer, definisjoner og koder for jordsmonnkartlegginga ved Skog og landskap. Sammen med dokumentene "Norsk Referansesystem for jordsmonn" og "Seriedefinisjoner" utgjør den det skriftlige grunnlaget for feltarbeidet. Feltinstruksen bygger på tidligere retningslinjer for jordsmonnkartlegging og revideres jevnlig i tråd med endringer av klassifikasjonssystem og rutiner.

Three years trials with cyazofamid (Ranman plus the adjuvant Additive for Ranman) shows god effect against potato late blight compared to untreated. The effect against potato late blight has been on the same level as other tested fungicides with no significant difference. In 2008 Ranman has been tested in combination with two different dose rates of the adjuvant Renol. The two trials have shown good effect of Ranman in combination with Renol with no significant difference in control of late blight between the tested dose rates of Renol and no significant difference between the two adjuvants Renol and Additive for Ranman.

Many time series analysis methods depend on equally spaced observations with no data point missing. If this condition is met, powerful techniques are available that identify temporal structures such as trends, periodic phenomena or nonlinear dynamics. Unfortunately, most observations of natural systems, in particular over longer periods of time such as decades, are prone to sampling errors leading to missing points in the observations. Singular System Analysis (SSA) is a powerful tool to extract the dynamics contained in time series at arbitrary temporal scales. In its original formulation, however, SSA relies as well on data without missing values. Recently several extensions to SSA have been proposed which are designed to fill the gaps, exploiting the dynamics contained in the sampled parts of the series to estimate the structure of the signal at the position of missing values. SSA consists of two steps: Decomposition and reconstruction. For the decomposition the time series under investigation is embedded into a trajectory matrix and decomposed with singular value decomposition. The reconstruction (of selected components) of the time series employs the left and right singular values to obtain additive components of the time series. In the original variant of SSA both steps are dependent on gap free data sets. In order to evaluate the power of SSA for time series with missing values we simulate 1000 series of different processes - ARMA(2,3) and red noise contaminated sine waves. Several gap–schemes (continuous, periodic, and uniformly distributed) are used to create time series with up to 50% (artificially) missing values. SSA is applied on all surrogate series. The decomposition as well as the reconstruction is compared systematically to the gap free benchmark. In addition we evaluate the ability of SSA to capture periodic phenomena in the presence of missing values and whether periodical gaps lead to the identification of spurious periods. We demonstrate that SSA successfully reproduces the signal part of time series (i.e. components with large eigenvalues) for up to 30% missing values. For less significant components with higher rank numbers, the presence of gaps is increasingly deleterious. A number of distributed smaller gaps, a situation most likely to occur in observations, spoils the analysis to a much lesser degree than a single large gap. Thus, these new variants of SSA substantially enlarge the set of observational time series amenable to the analysis, and allows for obtaining precise estimates of the signal at the position of missing data points.

Kikkutstua ligger ved Bjørnsjøen i Nordmarka og eies av Skiforeningen. I 2007 ble det installert et nytt renseanlegg ved Kikutstua. Anlegget er et filterbedanlegg av typen "NATURren" og er levert av Bokn Plast AS. Renseanlegget er etablert uten godkjenning fra Oslo kommune. Anlegget tar i dag i mot gråvann fra Kikutstua. I følge Bokn Plast AS er anlegget beregnet for mottak av både gråvann og toalettavløp. Renset vann ledes til nedbørsfeltet til Maridalsvannet der det er krav om at toalettavløp skal ledes til samletank. Anlegget har fått midlertidig utslippstillatelse fra kommunen, men kun for rensing av gråvann. Bioforsk Jord og miljø har utarbeidet en rapport som beskriver hvordan anlegget er dimensjonert og bygget opp. Dimensjonering og utforming er sammenholdt med anvisningene i VA/Miljøblad nr. 49, Våtmarksfiltre. Skiforeningen har så langt det har vært mulig bidratt med opplysninger om anleggets dimensjonering og oppbygging.
