Background The global climate is warming, especially in northern regions due to high-latitude amplification. This high-latitude warming leads to range expansion with advancing tree- and forest-lines (TFLs) in the Northern Hemisphere. However, empirical studies can rarely provide a well-documented elevational expansion rate, especially for timescales longer than 40–50 years. This study provides a unique long-term dataset on TFL dynamics of Betula pubescens subsp. czerepanovii in Norway, based on a combination of resampled historical data (n = 319) and new field registrations (n = 447). Our dataset includes a total of 766 registrations from five counties in Norway. In total, the dataset contains 439 treelines and 327 forest lines, most likely representing the highest recorded TFLs for the region at the given time. For all data, both resampled and new, locality, coordinates, elevation, aspect and spatial uncertainty and the resampling/sampling methods and definitions are provided. The entire material is stored and available for download through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) portal. New information This dataset includes newly-resampled TFLs, based on 57–127-year-old registrations. The entries provide elevational changes, georeferenced localities and potential sites for monitoring climate change effects. The entries enable regional analyses of TFL dynamics on intermediate timescales, including the effect of time lags. The material is available for modelling TFL range shifts along the boreal-alpine ecotone. This dataset most likely provides the highest registered Betula pubescens subsp. czerepanovii locations within their specific regions, thus representing the contemporary ecophysiological range limits for the life-form tree. Additional high-elevation TFL sites and localities have been added to make the material suitable for future remapping and monitoring of climatic TFL dynamics.

I debatten om naturmangfold og naturforvaltning i Norge, er en tilbakevendende utfordring forståelsen av ulike feltbaserte temakart. I dette essayet beskrives grunnleggende likheter og forskjeller mellom to sentrale feltbaserte temakart over naturmangfold: artskart og naturtypekart. Disse kartene representerer ulike nivåer i hierarkiet over naturmangfold og har supplerende funksjoner i forvaltningen.

A field experiment was conducted in 2022–2023 and repeated in 2023–2024, estimating plant coverages using digital processing of autumn and spring aerial images to determine fertilizer rates. Three fixed and two variable manure and mineral N rates were applied in early spring and after the first cut. Dry matter yield (DMY) and agronomic efficiency (AE) were evaluated over two seasons. A low or variable N rate based on spring coverage led to DMY and AE comparable to high N rates. Autumn coverage in the second season improved slurry application decisions, offering a valuable tool for grassland management.

The effect of harvest timing on postharvest ripening was investigated by changes in ethylene production, expression of ethylene biosynthesis genes MdACS1, MdACS6, (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthase 1 and 6) and the ACS degradation promoting gene MdETO1 (Ethylene overproducer 1). Apple fruit of two cultivars, ‘Red Aroma’ and ‘Rubinstep’, were harvested at three time points, early, middle, and late, at two-week intervals. Fruit were either treated with 1 ppm 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) or remained untreated, and stored at 4 °C in regular atmosphere. Late harvested, untreated apples reached peak ethylene production after the shortest time in cold storage ('Red Aroma' in week five, 'Rubinstep' in weeks nine and ten), while early harvested, untreated fruit reached their peak after a longer time ('Red Aroma' in week eight, 'Rubinstep' in weeks 13 and 14). Early harvested fruit experienced greater firmness loss and a higher increase in SCC/TA ratio during cold storage. Senescence in late harvested, untreated fruit was evident from low ethylene production after simulated shelf-life and increased physiological disorders in ‘Rubinstep’. In 1-MCP-treated fruit, ethylene production increased toward the end of storage, particularly in early harvested fruit, indicating a decline in 1-MCP efficacy over time. Gene expression analysis showed strong induction of MdACS1 during climacteric ripening. MdETO1 positively correlated with MdACS1 gene expression, suggesting positive co-regulation. The expression of MdACS6 was negatively correlated with simulated shelf-life and with 1-MCP treatment, suggesting regulation by temperature and metabolic state. Overall, harvest timing and 1-MCP strongly influenced the changes in fruit physiology during postharvest storage.

Den norske naturen er under press. Klimaendringer, endret arealbruk og opphør av tradisjonell drift gjør at mange naturtyper mister areal, kvalitet og artsmangfold. Artsdatabanken lanserte i dag en ny og mer detaljert rødliste for naturtyper, basert på vurderinger av 876 naturtyper fra hele landet. Over 40 prosent av dem vurderes som truet.
