Provenance variability in establishment of native downy birch in a 14-year trial in southwest Iceland

Riege, Dennis A; Sigurgeirsson, Aðalsteinn (Agricultural University of Iceland, 2018)

Afforestation in southwest Iceland is hindered by eroded, infertile soils and salt deposition from strong oceanic winds. A trial plot of 25 provenances of native downy birch collected throughout Iceland was established in 1998 near Keflavik International ...
Single tree aboveground biomass models for native birch in Iceland

Jónsson, Þorbergur Hjalti; Snorrason, Arnór (Agricultural University of Iceland, 2018)

In Iceland, mountain birch dominates indigenous woodlands and scrub communities. For use in inventories of the natural birch population, we derived single parameter aboveground biomass functions from a stratified random sample encompassing the entire ...
Successes and failures following long-distance dispersal: Dynamics of mountain birch (Betula pubescens ssp. tortuosa) on a glacial outwash plain

Óskarsdóttir, Guðrún (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, 2024-06)

The colonisation of a forest-forming tree species into an early successional environment, following long-distance dispersal, presents a unique opportunity to study the dynamics of a founder population in a setting that differs from its origin. This ...
