    Foraging behaviour and plant selection in a herd of Icelandic goats 
    Ævarsdóttir, Hrafnhildur; Thorhallsdottir, Anna Gudrun; Sigurjónsdottir, Hrefna (Agricultural University of Iceland, 2016-06)
    The Icelandic goat is an indigenous breed, descendant of goats brought to Iceland by Nordic and Celtic settlers in the 9th century (Adalsteinsson 1981). The population is estimated to have been below 1000 individuals for centuries and critically ...

    Forage quality of leaf fodder from the main woody species in Iceland and its potential use for livestock in the past and present 
    Hejcman, M.; Hejcmanová, P.; Pavlů, V.; Thorhallsdottir, Anna Gudrun (Wiley-Blackwell, 2016-04-27)
    Woody species played, and in many Nordic regions still play, a very important role in livestock feeding. However, forage quality (contents of macroelements and fibre fractions) of the leaves of common woody species is often inadequate. The aim of our ...

    Effects of volcanic ash on GHG production rates and soil properties in a drained peat soil in Finland and a comparison to wood ash 
    Maljanen, Marja; Liimatainen, Maarit; Sigurdsson, Bjarni D. (Landbúnaðarháskóli Íslands, 2015-02)
    Past volcanic eruptions in Iceland have sometimes led to long-distance distribution of fine volcanic tephra (volcanic ash). Evidence for volcanic ash from, for example, the ca. 4250 BP eruption in Hekla (H4) and the 1783-1784 AD Laki eruption in southern ...

    Soil nematode communities on Surtsey, 50 years after the formation of the volcanic island 
    Ilieva-Makulec, Krassimira; Bjarnadóttir, Brynhildur; Sigurdsson, Bjarni D. (Agricultural University of Iceland, 2015)
    Soil nematodes are a key group that can both influence and reflect changes in the soil ecosystem. We investigated the generic composition, abundance and community structure of soil nematodes in two contrasting vegetation successional seres now found ...

    The Icelandic volcanic aeolian environment: Processes and impacts — A review 
    Arnalds, Olafur; Dagsson-Waldhauserova, Pavla; Olafsson, Haraldur (International Society for Aeolian Research, 2016-02-15)
    Iceland has the largest area of volcaniclastic sandy desert on Earth or 22,000 km2. The sand has been mostly produced by glacio-fluvial processes, leaving behind fine-grained unstable sediments which are later re-distributed by repeated aeolian events. ...

    Icelandic Inland Wetlands: Characteristics and Extent of Draining 
    Gudmundsson, Jon; Brink, Sigmundur H.; Arnalds, Olafur; Gisladottir, Fanney O.; Oskarsson, Hlynur (Society of Wetland Scientists, 2016-06-09)
    Iceland has inland wetland areas with soils exhibiting both Andosol and Histosol properties which are uncommon elsewhere on Earth. They are generally fertile, with higher bird-nest densities than in similar wetlands in the neighboring countries, with ...
