Treeline and Forest line mapping in Norway

The dataset is structured in Darwin Core (DwC) format, utilizing the Event Core and Occurrence extension to organize and standardize the data. Each event represents a collection of treeline or forest line observations made at a specific location, encapsulating both historical and modern records. Historical observations, which typically include only altitude and the name of the location, are grouped with newer registrations that feature precise GPS coordinates. This approach ensures that all observations associated with a given site are grouped logically, facilitating temporal comparisons and allowing for comprehensive analysis of changes over time, even when precise spatial data is unavailable for older records. is a placeholder
