Climate change impacts in Norway - what the IPCC 4th Assessment Report has found:
- In several northern hemiphere mountain systems, treelines have markedly shifted to higher elevations during the 20th century such as in the Scandes [1.3.5.2].
- Species ranges of alpine plants also have extended to higher altitudes in the Norwegian Scandes [1.3.5.2].
- Central Norway: Thermophilic (warmth-requiring) plant species have become significantly more frequent compared with 30 years ago. In contrast, there has been a small decline in the presence of traditionally cold-tolerant species [1.3.5.2].
