Yes, 'konservere' can be used for both. For example, you can 'konservere' food (physical) or 'konservere' cultural heritage (abstract).

While understandable, 'konservere' is perhaps a bit more formal than 'bevare' in everyday spoken Norwegian, especially when referring to simple preservation. However, it's very common in contexts like museums, environmental protection, or food preservation.

'Konservere' implies an effort to maintain something in its original state or protect it from decay. 'Lagre' simply means 'to store' without necessarily implying preservation efforts. For example, you 'lagre' clothes in a closet, but you 'konservere' a historical document.
