NiN landscape describes landscape types and gradients that are present in Norway. Ecosystems, land forms and man-made objects form landscape elements in the classification.
The classification of landscape types in NiN aims to be value-neutral and reproducible, forming a reference framework for more specific landscape analyses.
The map is available in three levels of detail, separating marine, coastal, and inland landscapes into finer landscape types.
Further description of the system is found at the Norwegian Biodiversity Information Centre, and the map can be accessed through their portal nin.artsdatabanken.no.
