  • The DEER-WOOD Project North-Trøndelag County, Norway
    The DEER-WOOD project North-Trøndelag county, Norway Skogeierforeninga Nord (Forest Owners’ Association, North) 1. Background – Nordic/ Scottish Collaboration. In February 1998, Inn-Trøndelag Forest Owners’ Association (I-T FOA, later merged into Forest Owners’ Association North) was asked by the Norwegian Forest Owners’ Federation (NFOF) to participate in a project on Managing deers across multiple land ownerships. The background for the question was: 1) that NFOF had taken the responsibility on behalf of Nordic Council of Ministers to establish cooperation between Scottish and Nordic units in forestry, 2) that an initiative had recently been made by Forestry Commission, Edinburgh, on a collaboration on deer management, 3) that an NPP-funding system had been established. Statistics of elk culled in Nord-Trøndelag county (N-T) show that around 1960 1500 elks were culled annually, 1970 600, since then an even growth so for the recent years the annual number culled has reached 4000 or more. In 1997 the venison value amounted to NOK mio 37, while the road side value of timber harvested was NOK mio 184 (average for the 90-es NOK mio 230). Since early 80-es N-T has had the following aim for deer management: ”The deer management should be practiced in order to obtain the highest possible level of production and of venison. At the same time eventual damage on agriculture, horticulture, forestry and traffic should be kept on an acceptable level. There is a general agreement that the management has been successful regarding raising the number of moose and their productivity. The number now is on a historically speaking high level.

    FOSSIL ICE WEDGESAND GROUND WEDGES IN SEDIMENTS BELOW TILLAT VOSS, WESTERN NORWAY JAN MANGERUD & SVEIN ARNE SKREDEN Mangerud, J. & Skreden, S. A.: Fossil ice wedges and ground wedges in sediments below till at Voss, western Norway. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 52, pp. 73-96. Oslo 1972. In a 3 to 4 m high section, the following four distinct sediment units exist: At the base a well-sorted sand of uncertain origin; above this a bed of till (believed to be lodgement till); above this bedded sand, silt and clay, presum­ ably deposited in an ice-dammed lake; and on top, a younger lodgement till. All the sediments below the upper till are cut through by two different types of wedge-like structures. The wedges of the first type are filled with unsorted sediments and are interpreted as fossil ice wedges. The second type consists of vertically laminated clay and silt, presumably a kind of ground wedge. The sediments and the wedge structures are believed to be of either Allerod/ Younger Dryas age, or from older Weichselian interstadials. J. Mangerud, Geologisk institutt, avd.

Introduction Voss is situated in a broad and deep west Norwegian valley. The valley floor is 45-75 m a.s.l., while the surrounding mountains rise to between 1300 and 1400 m a.s.l. (Figs. l and 2). Bedrock is exposed in most of the mountain area, while considerable deposits of till and glacio-fluvial sediments occur in the valleys.

  • The Bark and Ambrosia Beetle (Coleoptera, Scolytinae) Collection at the University Museum of Bergen – with Notes on Extended Distributions in Norway
    © Norwegian Journal of Entomology. 1 July 2019 The bark and ambrosia beetle (Coleoptera, Scolytinae) collection at the University Museum of Bergen – with notes on extended distributions in Norway BJARTE H. JORDAL Jordal, B.H. 2019. The bark and ambrosia beetle (Coleoptera, Scolytinae) collection at the University Museum of Bergen – with notes on extended distributions in Norway. Norwegian Journal of Entomology 66, 19–31. The bark and ambrosia beetle collection at the University Museum in Bergen has been curated and digitized, and is available in public databases. Several species were recorded from Western Norway for the first or second time. The pine inhabiting species Hylastes opacus Erichson, 1836 is reported from Western Norway for the first time, and the rare speciesPityogenes trepanatus (Nordlinger, 1848) for the second time. The spruce inhabiting species Pityogenes chalcographus (Linnaeus, 1761) and Cryphalus asperatus (Gyllenhal, 1813), which are common in eastern Norway, were recorded in several Western Norway localities. Broadleaf inhabiting species such as Anisandrus dispar (Fabricius, 1792), Taphrorychus bicolor (Herbst, 1793), Dryocoetes villosus (Fabricius, 1792), Scolytus laevis Chapuis, 1869 and Scolytus ratzeburgi Janson, 1856 were collected for the second or third time in Western Norway. Several common species – likely neglected in previous sampling efforts – are well established in Western and Northern Norway.

Bark and ambrosia beetles are snoutless weevils Among the 72 species currently known from in the subfamily Scolytinae.
