    Aboveground woody biomass of natural birch woodland in Iceland – Comparison of two inventories 1987-1988 and 2005-2011 
    Snorrason, Arnór; Jónsson, Þorbergur Hjalti; Eggertsson, Ólafur (Agricultural University of Iceland, 2019)
    The only native tree species in Iceland forming woodland is the mountain birch. Since human settlement in the 9th century AD, natural birch woodlands have decreased from around 28% to 1.5% of the terrestrial area. In this paper we estimated and compared ...

    Carbon and water balance of an afforested shallow drained peatland in Iceland 
    Bjarnadóttir, Brynhildur; Aslan Sungur, Guler; Sigurðsson, Bjarni Diðrik; Kjartansson, Bjarki T.; Óskarsson, Hlynur; Oddsdottir, Edda S.; Gunnarsdottir, Gunnhildur E.; Black, Andrew (2021-02-15)
    Drainage of peatlands increases the depth of the oxic peat layer and can turn them into a carbon (C) source to the atmosphere. Afforestation of drained peatlands could help to reverse this process since the trees may enhance C sequestration. We followed ...

    The restorative potential of Icelandic nature 
    Kristjánsdóttir, Harpa Lind; Sigurðardóttir, Sigrún; Pálsdóttir, Anna María (2020-12-01)
    This study aimed to investigate if proposed restorative attributes according to attention restoration theory and supportive environment theory could be experienced and identified in Icelandic landscape and contribute to a restorative experience in ...

    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 ...
