Lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.) grows in a range of nature types in the boreal zone, and understanding factors affecting the abundance of the plant, as well as mapping its spatial distribution, is important. The abundance of the species can be an indicator of ecosystem changes, and lingonberry can also be a source for commercial utilisation of berry resources. Using country-wide data from 6404 field plots of the Norwegian national forest inventory (NFI), we modelled the relationship between lingonberry cover and airborne laser scanning (ALS) and satellite metrics and bioclimatic variables describing the forest structure, terrain, soil properties and climate using a generalised mixed-effects model with a quasipoisson distribution. The validation carried out with an independent set of 2124 NFI plots indicated no obvious bias in predictions. The most important predictors were found to be interactions between dominant tree species, stand basal area and latitude, as well as the reflectance in the near-infrared band from Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, the dominant height based on the ALS variable and the long-term mean summer (June–August) temperature. The results provide an indicator of the effects of global warming, as well as the possibility of giving forest management prescriptions that favour lingonberry and locating the most abundant lingonberry sites in Norwegian forests.

Denne rapporten presenterer oppdaterte bonitetskurver og produksjonstabeller for jevnaldrende renbestand av gran og furu, og gjelder for innlandsstrøk i Norge inkludert Nordland og Troms og Finnmark for furu. Vekstforholdene over hele Norge har endret seg vesentlig de siste 50 årene, og de oppdaterte bonitetskurvene og produksjonstabellene har blitt utviklet for å reflektere det. De oppdaterte bonitetskurvene er basert på totalalder, med en basisalder på 40 år. I forhold til de bonitetskurvene som er i bruk i dag, viser de oppdaterte bonitetskurvene en forlenget økt overhøydevekst, slik at de dermed når større overhøyder ved høye bestandsalder for begge studerte treslag. Oppdaterte produksjonstabeller har blitt utledet for forskjellige boniteter, utgangstettheter og tynningsscenarioer. Tabellene representerer både vanlige forvaltningsalternativer og ulike andre alternativer som kan være av interesse. Sammenligning av de oppdaterte produksjonstabellene med de som er i bruk i dag avslører til dels betydelige forskjeller, inkludert høyere netto volumproduksjon i de nye tabellene for utynnede bestand av begge treslag og nesten alle bonitetsklasser.

Parametric modeling of downwelling longwave irradiance under all-sky conditions (LW↓) typically involves “correcting” a clear- (or non-overcast) sky model estimate using solar-irradiance-based proxies of cloud cover in lieu of actual cloud cover given uncertainties and measurement challenges of the latter. While such approaches are deemed sound, their application in time and space is inherently limited. We report on a correction model free of solar irradiance-derived cloud proxies that is applicable at the true daily (24 hr) and global scales. The new “cloud-free” correction model demonstrates superior performance in a range of environments relative to existing cloud-free modeling approaches and to corrections based on solar-derived cloudiness proxies. Literature-based performance benchmarking indicates a performance that is often comparable to—and in some cases superior to—performances yielded by conventional parametric modeling approaches employing locally or regionally calibrated parameters, as well as to performances of satellite-based algorithms.

The European Union (EU) set clear climate change mitigation targets to reach climate neutrality, accounting for forests and their woody biomass resources. We investigated the consequences of increased harvest demands resulting from EU climate targets. We analysed the impacts on national policy objectives for forest ecosystem services and biodiversity through empirical forest simulation and multi-objective optimization methods. We show that key European timber-producing countries – Finland, Sweden, Germany (Bavaria) – cannot fulfil the increased harvest demands linked to the ambitious 1.5°C target. Potentials for harvest increase only exists in the studied region Norway. However, focusing on EU climate targets conflicts with several national policies and causes adverse effects on multiple ecosystem services and biodiversity. We argue that the role of forests and their timber resources in achieving climate targets and societal decarbonization should not be overstated. Our study provides insight for other European countries challenged by conflicting policies and supports policymakers.
