Recent crises show that Norwegian food production is vulnerable to climate change and that the Norwegian food production system lacks adaptive capacity in the face of likely climate change scenarios. In this situation we can look to local ecological knowledge as a source of inspiration for increasing agroecosystem’s resilience. In countries with a large amount of outlaying land, transhumance pastoral systems are widely practised. In Norway this is through the system which is called summer farming (Norw. stølsdrift). To study vulnerability and strengths in the summer farming community, I did a case study in Valdres, the area with the highest density of summer farms nationally. To analyse responses and coping strategies when meeting extreme weather and prolonged stressors I have studied archival documents about summer farming and conducted interviews centred on practises and development trajectories from the period before industrialisation. This study shows that adaptive community actions in Valdres has been more influenced by prolonged stress, compared to transient shocks, resulting in effective and diverse climate adaptation practises with the ability to buffer disturbances and in this way also cope when facing extreme stressors. The most important practises for the system’s ability to maintain itself are centred around the use of diverse and flexible fodder and grazing resources. In line with my findings research shows that structural changes caused by socio-political stress is experienced as more pressing for the farming community than weather-related stressors. As agricultural policy on a national scale aims to increase resilience to climate change, summer farming must be valued for strengthening the farms’ robustness and, also because farmers perceptions towards adapting to climate change can be important for adaptative community actions to be implemented.

This data paper presents a harmonized set of spatial datasets describing 60 agricultural landscapes (10 × 10 km each) generated for selected agricultural regions across six European countries—Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Poland—within the Horizon 2020 EcoStack project. These landscape datasets were developed for use within the Animal, Landscape and Man Simulation System (ALMaSS) and applied within an integrated modeling framework designed to identify management strategies that effectively enhance multiple beneficial organisms, i.e., ecosystem service providers, within European agroecosystems. All landscape models were generated following the methodology detailed in Ziółkowska et al. (2026). Because input data availability and structure varied among countries, the full set of data sources and the processing steps required to account for national and regional specificities are documented. All inputs were harmonized to a common structure, spatial resolution, and Type of Landscape Element (TOLE) legend to support comparability across landscapes. The resulting datasets capture major gradients in farmland structure, composition, and management intensity across Europe. They can support not only agent-based simulations and scenario analyses but also ecological modeling and biodiversity assessments more broadly. All landscape models, associated files, metadata, and landscape-window selection criteria are provided in an open, citable format to facilitate reuse and further development.

In the 1940s and 50s, spruce trees were planted in large areas in Northern Norway. These forests are now reaching maturity for harvesting. However, a long-standing question has been whether northern Norwegian spruce sawn timber has sufficient strength properties for use in load-bearing structures. According to new studies, the answer is yes.

Each year, between 160 and 220 ha of turfgrass sod are laid in Norway. Increased use has raised questions about whether sod production leads to loss of agricultural soil. NIBIO has recently documented how much soil is removed during sod harvest – and what producers can do to reduce this loss.
