Pollarding, coppicing and shredding are traditional forms of harvesting which formerly were common all over Norway. The practice of gathering leaves can be traced several thousand years back in time, i.e. as long as livestock farming has given rise to collecting fodder for the winter. Even now, we...

Twelve papers discuss the regeneration and silviculture of Norway spruce and Scots pine in Norway. Topics discussed include selective and partial felling, climate, site preparation, pest control and abiotic injuries.

Some results are presented on the first year of the 3-year campaign Tid for Skog (time for forests). Tables show the detailed results for 17 regions of Norway, for felling, planting, and the establishment of young forests, giving indications of changes from the comparable figures for 2007;...

This is the result of a pilot project about wind and forest damage, where the aim has been to establish a basis for further research in this field. We have developed a model dataset for forest and wind data covering southeastern Norway, and used this to estimate a total windthrow volume of about 18 ...

This report of a visit to Kaingaroa forest emphasizes that the whole enterprise is geared only to timber production, with no consideration of recreational use or biodiversity.

The authors report on the fate of a Siberian larch provenance transplanted to three localities in South Norway and monitored during the period 1948-2016. The project was initiated by an amateur botanist, Una Marie Skulberg (1896-1982, of who the authors are direct descendants), as a hobby activity. ...

Nine papers are presented from this meeting. Topics discussed include tree breeding, Norwegian experience with close-to-nature silviculture, growth models, Red list species of flora and fauna, wind damage, roundwood supply and supply chains.

In Norway, almost 80% of the population lives in urban areas, making urban forests the most visited forests in the country. The multitude and complexity of values assigned to urban forests create management challenges, especially from an humanistic point of view. Demand values, instrumental values...

A central issue in an on-going forestry project in Norway is the development of methods for identifying areas of forest that would benefit from selective felling. A selective felling index has been devised; it is a computer model that takes into account tree crown diameter (spread), growth...

Based on measurment of the height and diameter of 7757 trees in three seed plantations in Norway, a new model for planting density has been developed. Closer planting will have the advantages of increasing the density of Norway's forests and providing greater CO₂ sequestration. Recommended planting ...
