I denne rapporten presenteres resultater fra prognosekjøringer der vi har beregnet poensiell virkestilgang for et område avgrenset til fylkene Rogaland, Hordaland og Sogn og Fjordane, med utgangspunkt i data registrert på Landsskogtakseringens permanente prøvflater i perioden 2013-2017. Prognosene er kjørt for en periode på 100 år og omfatter gran- og furudominert skog på bonitet 11 og høyere. Prognoser er utarbeidet for seks alternativ (Alt. 1-6) der det er lagt til grunn varierende forutsetninger med hensyn til hogsttidspunkt og skogkultur: Alt. 1: Avvirkning ved nedre alderssgrense for hogstklasse V. Tilplanting med gran på 100 % av granskogarealene som avvirkes. Ikke treslagsskifte i furuskog. Alt. 2: Avvirkning 10 år før nedre aldersgrense for hogstklasse V. Tilplanting med gran på 100 % av granskogarealene som avvirkes. Ikke treslagsskifte i furuskog. Alt. 3: Avvirkning 10 år etter nedre aldersgrense for hogstklasse V. Tilplanting med gran på 100 % av granskogarealene som avvirkes. Ikke treslagsskifte i furuskog. Alt. 4: Avvirkning ved nedre alderssgrense for hogstklasse V. Tilplanting med gran på 100 % av granskogarealene som avvirkes. Treslagskifte til gran på 50 % av hogstarealet i furuskog. Alt. 5: Avvirkning ved nedre alderssgrense for hogstklasse V. Tilplanting med gran på 70 % av granskogarealene som avvirkes. Treslagskifte til gran på 50 % av hogstarealet i furuskog. Alt. 6: Avvirkning ved nedre alderssgrense for hogstklasse V. Tilplanting med gran på 50 % av granskogarealene som avvirkes. Treslagskifte til gran på 10 % av hogstarealet i furuskog...

This study presents a novel application of machine learning to deliver optimised, multi-model combinations (MMCs) of Global Hydrological Model (GHM) simulations. We exemplify the approach using runoff simulations from five GHMs across 40 large global catchments. The benchmarked, median performance gain of the MMC solutions is 45% compared to the best performing GHM and exceeds 100% when compared to the ensemble mean (EM). The performance gain offered by MMC suggests that future multi-model applications consider reporting MMCs, alongside the EM and intermodal range, to provide end-users of GHM ensembles with a better contextualised estimate of runoff. Importantly, the study highlights the difficulty of interpreting complex, non-linear MMC solutions in physical terms. This indicates that a pragmatic approach to future MMC studies based on machine learning methods is required, in which the allowable solution complexity is carefully constrained.

A robust hydrological modeling at a fine spatial resolution is a vital tool for Norway to simulate river discharges and hydrological components for climate adaptation strategies. However, it requires improvements of modelling methods, detailed observational data as input and expensive computational resources. This work aims to set up a distributed version of the HBV model with a physically based evapotranspiration scheme at 1 km resolution for mainland Norway and to calibrate/validate the model for 124 catchments using regionalized parameterizations. The Penman-Monteith equation was implemented in the HBV model and vegetation characteristics were derived from the Norwegian forest inventory combined with multi-source remote sensing data at 16 m spatial resolution. The estimated potential evapotranspiration (Ep) was compared with pan measurements and estimates from the MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MOD16) products, the Global Land Evaporation Amsterdam Model (GLEAM) and Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) hydrological model. There are 5 climatic zones in Norway classified based on 4 temperature and precipitation indices. For each zone, the model was calibrated separately by optimizing a multi-objective function including the Nash-Sutcliff efficiency (NSE) and biases of selected catchments. In total, there are 85 catchments for calibration and 39 for validation. The Ep estimates showed good agreement with the measurements, GLEAM and VIC outputs. However, the MOD16 product significantly overestimates Ep compared to the other products. The discharge was well reproduced with the median daily NSE of 0.68/0.67, bias of −3%/−1%, Kling-Gupta efficiency (KGE) of 0.70/0.69 and monthly NSE of 0.80/0.78 in the calibration/validation periods. Our results showed a significant improvement compared to the previous HBV application for all catchments, with an increase of 0.08–0.16 in the median values of the daily NSE, KGE and monthly NSE. Both the temporal and spatial transferability of model parameterizations were also enhanced compared to the previous application.

Climate models show that global warming will disproportionately influence high‐latitude regions and indicate drastic changes in, among others, seasonal snow cover. However, current continental and global simulations covering these regions are often run at coarse grid resolutions, potentially introducing large errors in computed fluxes and states. To quantify some of these errors, we have assessed the sensitivity of an energy‐balance snow model to changes in grid resolution using a multiparametrization framework for the spatial domain of mainland Norway. The framework has allowed us to systematically test how different parametrizations, describing a set of processes, influence the discrepancy, here termed the scale error, between the coarser (5 to 50‐km) and finest (1‐km) resolution. The simulations were set up such that liquid and solid precipitation was identical between the different resolutions, and differences between the simulations arise mainly during the ablation period. The analysis presented in this study focuses on evaluating the scale error for several variables relevant for hydrological and land surface modelling, such as snow water equivalent and turbulent heat exchanges. The analysis reveals that the choice of method for routing liquid water through the snowpack influences the scale error most for snow water equivalent, followed by the type of parametrizations used for computing turbulent heat fluxes and albedo. For turbulent heat exchanges, the scale error is mainly influenced by model assumptions related to atmospheric stability. Finally, regions with strong meteorological and topographic variability show larger scale errors than more homogenous regions.

I Europa er det registrert økende omfang av skogskader de siste hundre år, og klimaendringer er identifisert som en viktig driver bak økningene i for eksempel vindskader, barkbilleangrep og skogbranner. Det er likevel store regionale forskjeller i Europa, med en tendens til økt vekst og produktivitet i nordlige og høyereliggende skogområder, og mer tørkestress og mortalitet i sør. Ikke are endringer i klima, men også endringer i skogskjøtsel og skogstruktur påvirker forekomsten av skader i skog...

The identity of the dominant root-associated microbial symbionts in a forest determines the ability of trees to access limiting nutrients from atmospheric or soil pools1,2, sequester carbon3,4 and withstand the effects of climate change5,6. Characterizing the global distribution of these symbioses and identifying the factors that control this distribution are thus integral to understanding the present and future functioning of forest ecosystems. Here we generate a spatially explicit global map of the symbiotic status of forests, using a database of over 1.1 million forest inventory plots that collectively contain over 28,000 tree species. Our analyses indicate that climate variables—in particular, climatically controlled variation in the rate of decomposition—are the primary drivers of the global distribution of major symbioses. We estimate that ectomycorrhizal trees, which represent only 2% of all plant species7, constitute approximately 60% of tree stems on Earth. Ectomycorrhizal symbiosis dominates forests in which seasonally cold and dry climates inhibit decomposition, and is the predominant form of symbiosis at high latitudes and elevation. By contrast, arbuscular mycorrhizal trees dominate in aseasonal, warm tropical forests, and occur with ectomycorrhizal trees in temperate biomes in which seasonally warm-and-wet climates enhance decomposition. Continental transitions between forests dominated by ectomycorrhizal or arbuscular mycorrhizal trees occur relatively abruptly along climate-driven decomposition gradients; these transitions are probably caused by positive feedback effects between plants and microorganisms. Symbiotic nitrogen fixers—which are insensitive to climatic controls on decomposition (compared with mycorrhizal fungi)—are most abundant in arid biomes with alkaline soils and high maximum temperatures. The climatically driven global symbiosis gradient that we document provides a spatially explicit quantitative understanding of microbial symbioses at the global scale, and demonstrates the critical role of microbial mutualisms in shaping the distribution of plant species.
