Arable land - WFS
The national land resource database (AR) classifies the land cover of mainland Norway according to its suitability for agriculture and natural plant production. National land resource datasets are available at scale 1:5.000 (AR5), 1:50.000 (AR50) and 1:250.000 (AR250).
Arable land is a valid land resource attribute for certain classes of land types derived from the dataset AR5. These land types are pasture, forest, open land and marshland (peat bog). The land types have to fulfill requirements for soil quality and climate for plant production.
Features in the dataset Arable land are continuous areas with the same attributes assigned according to the classification criteria of AR5 with a geometric representation as polygons. The dataset is updated annually.
Arable land data are updated annually with data on from the land resource map in scale 1:5.000. This ensures that arable land are an attribute to current pasture, forest, open land and peat bog and not an attribute to previous land types of these sorts.

- Statement
-
Arable land was classified during field inventory and recorded onto analogue aerial photographs for the whole of Norway’s mainland below the tree line (productive area), mainly in the period 1964–1994. Arable land data are derived from the historical dataset Digital Land Type Map (DMK) which was digitized from original paper map sheets. All land type features classified as arable land on the original analogue maps sheets were identified. The map layer with arable land was later intersected with an updated version of the land resource database from 2008 providing a new map of arable land on current land types classified as pasture, forest, open land and peat bog. The dataset is annually updated with current land types from the national land resource database.
