    Sabima kartleggingsrapport 3 (2016) Forslag til faggrunnlag for ertevikke Vicia pisiformis i Norge 2014-2019 Av Even Woldstad Hanssen; Gry Støvind Hoell og Roger Halvorsen Forslag til faggrunnlag for ertevikke Vicia pisiformis i Norge 2014-2019 Refereres som: Hanssen, E.W., Hoell, G.S. og Halvorsen, R. 2016. Forslag til faggrunnlag for ertevikke Vicia pisiformis i Norge 2014-2019. Sabima-kartleggingsrapport 3. 121 s. Sammendrag Forslaget til faggrunnlag for ertevikke gir en innføring i artens biologi og økologi. Arten er rødlistet i flere land og har både i Norge og Sverige status som sterkt truet (EN). Den vokser i dag på 21 av 37 kjente lokaliteter i fylkene Akershus, Buskerud, Vestfold og Telemark. Grunnen til tilbakegangen ligger først og fremst i utbygging av boliger og veier i vokseområdene. En sterk gjengroing kan også ha redusert lystilgangen på enkelte voksesteder og bidratt til tilbakegangen. Det foreslås en bevaring av ertevikke på alle kjente lokaliteter og en økning i bestandene. Viktige tiltak for bevaring kan være prioritering etter naturmangfoldloven og skjøtsel i form av tynning i tre- og busksjikt. Kartlegging, overvåkning og effektkontroll av skjøtsel er også viktig. Det foreslås å bruke totalt NOK 1,85 millioner i planperioden 2014-2019. Ansvaret for gjennomføring og koordinering av planen foreslås lagt til Fylkesmannen i Buskerud. Planen kan bare gjennomføres med et omfattende samarbeid mellom grunneiere, kommuner og miljømyndigheter, samt forskningsmiljø og frivillige biologiske organisasjoner. Summary The proposal for a biodiversity action plan for pale flowered vetch or pea vetch Vicia pisiformis in Norway gives an introduction to the biology and ecology of the species.

It appears that sedimen�s of Late-Glacial and Post-Glacial age are sharply defined by a few dominent species in their foraminiferal faunas. A subdivision can be based partly on the dominance of some species and partly on the presence of certain a::cessory species. In this way, most samples from the area could be rapidly pla::ed in the old strati­ graphic scheme based on megafossils. Introduction. For the Oslofjord area BRøGGER (1900-19 01) established a stratigraphy of the sediments dep)sited at the r etreating front of the ice of the latest glaciation on the basis of their content of fossil 12 -Geo!. 33 110 ROLF W.

He thus divided the clay sediments into the following main horizons: Yoldia-clay, Arca-clay, Mytilus- and Cyprina-clay, (of Late-Glacialage) Cardium-clay, Ostrea-clay, Isocardia-clay, (of Post­ Glacial age), and Mya-clay which is of recent origin. The Yoldia-clay is a high-arctic sediment. Its index fossil is Portlandia arctica (GRAY) ( = Yoldia arctica GRAY) which at present lives only in arctic waters, e.g.

The ship was named after Admiral Franz von Hippercommander of the German battlecruiser squadron during the Battle of Jutland in and later commander-in-chief of the German High Seas Fleet. She was armed with a main battery of eight Admiral Hipper saw a significant amount of action during the war, notably present during the Battle of the Atlantic. In Decembershe broke out into the Atlantic Ocean to operate against Allied merchant shipping, though this operation ended without significant success. In FebruaryAdmiral Hipper sortied again, sinking several merchant vessels before eventually returning to Germany via the Denmark Strait. As a result, Admiral Hipper was returned to Germany and decommissioned for repairs. The ship was never restored to operational status, however, and Heavy Cruisers of the Admiral Hipper Class 3 MayRoyal Air Force bombers severely damaged her while she was in Kiel. Her crew scuttled the ship at her mooringsand in Julyshe was raised and towed to Heikendorfer Bay. She was ultimately broken up for scrap in — and her bell is currently on display at the Laboe Naval Memorial. The Admiral Hipper class of heavy cruisers was ordered in the context of German naval rearmament after the Nazi Party came to power in and repudiated the disarmament clauses of the Treaty of Versailles.

  • Contribution to the Geology of the So.Uthern Part Of
    CONTRIBUTION TO THE GEOLOGY OF THE SO. UTHER N PART OF THE OSLOFJORD THE RHOMB-PORPHYRY CONGLOMERATE WITH REMARKS ON YOUNGER TECTONICS WITH 12 TEXT·FIGURES, 5 PLATES AND l MAP BY LEIF STØRME R Introduction. In his classical work: "O ber die Bildungsgeschichte des Kristiania­ fjords" ( = Oslofjord), Brøgger (1886) was a ble to demonstrate and explain in their main features, the peculiar geologic structures which led to the formation of the Oslofjord and influenced the topo­ graphy also of the adjacent parts of the Oslo Region. The origin of the fjord is chiefly due to considerable subsidences along mainly N-S fault-lines probably of Permian age. The greatest fault runs along the east side of the fjord and borders the Oslo Region with its Paleozoic sediments and igneous rocks, from the Precambrian area to the east. The present paper deals primarily with the so-called rhomb­ porphyry conglomerate which forms one of the youngest sedimentary series of the Oslo Region and which occurs on a num ber of islands situated along the east side of the fjord. The term rhomb-porphyry conglomerate was introduced by Brøgger (1900) to signi fy a thick series chiefly of breccias and conglomerates consisting almost ex­ clusively of fragments of various types of Permian rhomb-porphyry Javas. The sediments exhibit several peculiar characteristics which are described and tentatively interpreted in the present paper. The consolidated sediments have in post-Permian time been subject to considerable tectonic disturbances. A study of the structures has led the author to the conception of a connection with the late Mesozoic and Tertiary orogenetic movements of northern Europe.

    Rapport fra LRSK for Oslo og Akershus 2012–2013 Hærfugl, Rakkestad gård, Enebakk 25.10.2012 Foto Jostein Myre Av LRSK OA ved Øyvind Hagen Utgitt juni 2019 http://oa.birdlife.no/lrsk-rapporter ISSN 2535-7174 Rapport fra LRSK Oslo og Akershus for årene 2012 og 2013 Rapport fra LRSK Oslo og Akershus for årene 2012 og 2013 Øyvind Hagen Dette er den 28. rapporten fra lokal rapport- og sjeldenhetskomité for Oslo og Akershus (LRSK OA). Rapporten er ikke lenger tilgjengelig som trykksak, men publiseres utelukkende i digital form. Forrige rapport ble publisert og tilgjengeliggjort på foreningens hjemmesider (http://oa.birdlife.no, heretter omtalt som NOFOA) i mars 2019. ​ ​ LRSK OA - sammensetning og arbeid Det er ikke foretatt endringer i komitéens sammensetning siden forrige rapport som da fremdeles består av Øyvind Hagen (sekretær), Andreas Gullberg, Simon Rix og Sindre Molværsmyr. Jobben med å ta igjen etterslepet på LRSK-rapportene har stadig høy prioritet i komitéens arbeid. Som tidligere nevnt har vi besluttet å publisere rapporter som tar for seg 2 år av gangen der hensikten er å holde hastigheten oppe samtidig som det ikke skal drøye for lenge mellom hver rapport. Denne rapporten representerer den andre publikasjonen i rekken av disse toårs-rapportene. Rapportering Som en naturlig følge av at vi er såpass langt på etterskudd kan det være en utfordring å få inn beskrivelser av flere år gamle observasjoner.
