Prosjektet ”Klargjøring av avvirkningsmuligheter i norsk skogbruk” er utført som et samarbeid mellom NIJOS, NORSKOG og skogoppsynet fylkesvis, representert ved seksjon skogbruk hos Fylkesmannens landbruksavdelinger. Prosjektet ble påbegynt i 1996. Denne rapporten tar for seg resultatene for Vestfold. I rapporten er det redegjort for de mest sentrale forutsetningene som ligger til grunn for arbeidet. For en mer detaljert beskrivelse av opplegget henvises det til den nasjonale rapporten (NIJOS rapport 10/99).

This thesis deals with effects of acidification, fertilisation and addition of Al on boreal vegetation as studied in different field- and laboratory experiments. The results are discussed in relation to the natural vegetation dynamics and critical loads of S and N for forest soils. Field experiments with artificial acid rain caused damage to bryophytes like Pleurozium schreberi and Dicranum polysetum at pH 2.5 and pH 3.0. The presence of Melampyrum pratense was reduced when treated with pH 2.5 and pH 3.0. For the pH 2.5 treatment, a decreased leaf production and decreased internal Mg concentration of Vaccinium myrtillus leaves were recorded. Treatment with pH 2.5 and 3.0 resulted in decreased base saturation in the O and E horizons, in particular Mg2, which may explain the effects on V. myrtillus. Repeated N-fertiliser additions caused vegetation changes, particularly at higher doses (1500 kg N/ha).An increase in cover of the species Deschampsia flexuosa, Molinia caerulea, Agrostis capillaris, Carex canescens, Rubus idaeus, Epilobum angustifolium and Dryopteris assimilis were found 8 years after the last N-application. Chemical analysis of leaves of V. myrtillus demonstrated an increase in N and a decrease in P concentrations on the fertilised plots compared to controls.The concentration of exchangeable Ca2, Mg2and K in the humus layer were reduced in fertilised plots compared to control plots. No differences in pH(H2O) or exchangeable acidity in the humus layer were found between fertilised plots and control plots. Laboratory experiments with Mg-limited Norway spruce seedlings showed that 80 M Al3 and a constant molar Ca/Al ratio of 0.2 decreased the uptake of Ca2 and Mg2, and reduced root length growth. However, no indication of an ameliorating effect of K on Al were seen, therefore these experiments give no support for including K into the critical load criterion. In the critical load calculation it seems that the molar Ca/Al ratio has been emphasised too much, and in particular that the scientific evidence of the critical chemical value (Ca/Al=1) is not well documented. A lot of the processes going on in the forest ecosystem are oversimplified or even left out in the present calculations. Long-term monitoring of forest vegetation at Karlshaugen, under moderate deposition regime of S and N, showed that other processes than deposition of S and N determine the vegetation dynamics, in particular the development of the dominant canopy species and field layer species seems to be much more important because of their influence on light and nutrients. Reduced frequency and persistence were shown for many field layer species and cryptogames during a 60 years period. A comparison of pH in soilwater from O-layer between 1961 and 1991 showed an increase in median pH of 0.1 pH unit for the area

An efficient Biolistic transformation technology was developed to stably transform Picea abies (L.) Karst. Several embryogenic tissue lines were tested for proliferation on standard embryogenesis media. Transient transformation studies with these lines were performed to optimize the parameters for genetic transformation. Selection conditions for transgenic tissue based on the nptII resistance gene in combination with the antibiotic geneticin were defined such that only transgenic P. abies lines were able to develop. Nontransgenic tissue was completely inhibited under these conditions. Stable integration of a uidA reporter gene and a nptII resistance gene into the genome of P. abies was achieved and more than 200 mature embryos were regenerated for every transformation event. Histochemical and fluorometric analysis indicated strong expression of the uidA gene in transgenic material. ELISA studies to detect and quantify the nptII gene product as well as polymerase chain reaction and Southern blotting confirmed the presence and integration of uidA and nptII genes into the P. abies genome. Transgenic P. abies plants from nine independent transformation events were recovered and are currently growing in a greenhouse for genetically modified organisms, awaiting field release.
