The detection in 1999 of the pine wood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, in Portugal triggered survey activities in many European countries. With the assumption that PWN would reach frequency 10 times lower than the native B. mucronatus and the requirement of a 95 % confidence limit suggested 2 995 samples to be required for a safe statement on the absence of PWN from the territory surveyed. Samples were taken from 10 circular areas with 50 km diameter erected from a point of import of risk materials. In the period 2000-2006 3 165 wood samples, 2 880 from Pinus sylvestris, 279 from Picea abies and 6 from unknown wood, were collected from 446 logging sites, in 84 municipalities and 13 counties. Of the total material 85 % of the samples came from cutting wastes, timber or lying trees. Wood showing signs of insect activity (incl. Monochamus) formed 73 % of the total material. Nematodes were recorded in 85 % of the samples. The order Rhabditida was most frequent, followed by the orders Aphelenchida, Tylenchida and Dorylaimida. Rhabditid nematodes were equally frequent in pine and spruce, while Aphelenchida (Aphelenchus, Aphelenchoides, Cryptaphelenchus, Seinura and Bursaphelenchus) and Tylenchida (Filenchus, Lelenchus, Ditylenchus, Deladenus and Nothotylenchus) tended to be more common in pinewood. Aphelenchoides was the most common genus. The genus Bursaphelenchus occurred in 1 % of the samples. B. mucronatus was detected in 0,3 % of the samples and most often in cutting waste of pine. The pine wood nematode (PWN), B. xylophilus, was not detected in this survey. The unexpected low natural occurrence of B. mucronatus indicates that the number of potential niches for PWN also is lower than expected, and hence it will be necessary to continue this surveillance program to reach 10 000 samples. The present zone sites in central and south-eastern Norway will be supplemented with 1-2 zone sites in southwestern region of the country. In the future these zone sites will function as permanent observation areas. Care will also be taken to collect all samples from detached wood with signs of Monochamus activity.

The substitution of fossil fuels by biomass in energy consumption is a measure to decrease the emission of greenhouse gases and thereby mitigate global warming. An increased use of wood-based biomass for energy can also, if well managed, enhance the socioeconomic benefits from forests, particularly for small forest owners substituting purchased energy resources with their own wood fuels. At both European and national levels, political plans exist for an increased use of forest biomass for energy. However, the potential negative impact on the forest ecosystem and the surrounding environment due to an increased utilisation of wood-based biomass for energy needs also to be considered. The increased use of wood-based biomass must be fully in accordance with the principles of sustainable forest management, for example as outlined by the pan-European Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forests in Europe.

The substitution of biomass for fossil fuels in energy consumption is a measure to mitigate global warming, as well as having other advantages. Political action plans for increased use exist at both European and national levels. This paper briefly reviews the contents of recommendations, guidelines, and other synthesis publications on sustainable use of forest biomass for energy. Topics are listed and an overview of advantages, disadvantages, and trade-offs between them is given, from the viewpoint of society in general and the forestry and energy sectors in particular. For the Nordic and Baltic countries, the paper also identifies the extent to which wood for energy is included in forest legislation and forest certification standards under the ?Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification? (PEFC) and the ?Forest Stewardship Council? (FSC) schemes. Energy and forest policies at EU and national levels, and European PEFC forest standards are analysed. With respect to energy policies, the utilisation of wood for energy is generally supported in forest policies, but forest legislation is seldom used as a direct tool to encourage the utilisation of wood for energy. Regulations sometimes restrict use for environmental reasons. Forest certification standards include indicators directly related to the utilisation of wood for energy under several criteria, with most occurrences found under environmental criteria. Roles and problems in relation to policy, legislation, certification standards, recommendations and guidelines, and science are discussed.

Viktige eigenskapar til ei grunnstamme er å regulera veksten og gje store og jamnte avlingar av kvalitetsfrukt. Gjennom eit stort foredlingsarbeid i fleire land i Europa dei siste 10-åra, har det lukkast å foredla fram ei rad grunnstammer med moderat vekst, tidleg bering og god bereevne. Denne rapporten omtalar resultat av utprøving av 27 ulike grunnstammer med redusert vekst til søtkirsebærsorten Lapins gjennomført ved Bioforsk Ullensvang i åra frå 1999-2006. Dette er del av eit europisk samarbeidsprosjekt der 11 land er med.

Viktige eigenskapar til ei grunnstamme er å regulera veksten og gje store og jamne avlingar av kvalitetsfrukt. Gjennom eit stort foredlingsarbeid i fleire land i Europa dei to siste 10 åra, har det lukkast å foredla fram ei rad grunnstammer med moderat vekst, tidleg bering og god bereevne.

Med utgangspunkt i de meteorologiske målingene på værstasjonen til Bioforsk Øst Landvik i Grimstad gir artikkelen en oversikt over været i 2006: Med en årsmiddeltemperatur på 8,3 °C, d.v.s. hele 1,4 °C over normalen på 6,9 °C, ble 2006 det tredje varmeste året siden målingene starta i 1957. 2006 ble også et relativt fuktig år. Total nedbørsmengde var på 1485 mm, dvs. om lag 21 prosent mer enn årsnormalen på 1230 mm.
