Abstract Background Although a standard taxonomy of organisms has existed for nearly 300 years, no consensus yet been reached on principles systematization ecological diversity (i.e., the co‐ordinated variation abiotic and biotic components natural diversity). In rapidly changing world, where nature is under constant pressure, standardized terms methods characterization are urgently needed (e.g., to enhance precision credibility global change assessments). Aim The aim present EcoSyst...
Abstract Questions Field‐based ecosystem mapping is prone to observer bias, typically resulting in a mismatch between maps made by different mappers, that is, inconsistency. Experimental studies testing the influence of site, scale, and differences experience level on inconsistency field‐based are lacking. Here, we study how inconsistencies depend these factors. Location Iškoras Guollemuorsuolu, northeastern Norway, Landsvik Lygra, western Norway. Methods In balanced experiment, four sites...
Abstract. Litter decomposition is a vital part of the carbon cycle and thoroughly studied both in field with models. Although temporally spatially limited, litterbag experiments are often used to calibrate evaluate soil models intended for use on large scales, coupled land model. We microbially explicit model MIMICS+ replicate two high-latitude different spatial temporal scales. investigated how well represented observed mass loss terms controlling factors climate litter quality their...

Abstract Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs) provide a state‐of‐the‐art process‐based approach to study the complex interplay between vegetation and its physical environment. For example, they help predict how terrestrial plants interact with climate, soils, disturbance competition for resources. We argue that there is untapped potential use of DGVMs in ecological ecophysiological research. One fundamental barrier realize this many researchers relevant expertize (ecology, plant...
Abstract Questions An essential aspect of variation in natural systems is that species respond to complex environmental gradients. Recognizing plant composition gradients associated with abiotic factors (ecoclines) can be foundational for defining habitat types, which, turn, helps map variation. Typically, ecoclinal structures are assessed through visual evaluation above‐ground vegetation and analysis covarying factors. However, the correlation between ecological detected by soil eDNA...
Dry grasslands on calcareous bedrock in warm climates around the Oslo Fjord are naturally fragmented biodiversity hotspots. This habitat geographically coincides with most densely populated area of Norway. Many specialists, along itself, red-listed because land-use change, forest encroachment, and invasive species that cause loss greater isolation remaining patches. To ensure effective conservation, data presences absences necessary to quantify states, changes, extinction risks specific...
