4PLANET PLACE
Norway
Norway spans strong ecological gradients from southern forests and humid coasts to inland valleys, mountains and Arctic environments, with extensive marine systems connected to the mainland.
Boundary: This is a country-scale discovery object. The ATLAS rectangle covers mainland Norway and is navigation geometry, not a legal boundary; Svalbard has its own Place object and is not represented by this mainland map extent. Artskart observations are reported records from multiple data owners and do not prove complete range, abundance or current presence.
