Following a period of land degradation lasting more than one thousand years, Iceland has undertaken ambitious restoration and afforestation efforts for one century now. Afforestation has also been a central venture of the Icelandic government in order to meet the commitments assigned by the Kyoto Protocol, because vegetation represents an important carbon sink. The aims of the study are how above- and belowground woody biomass and organic carbon is accumulated along a chronosequence in South Iceland and how afforested and remnant mountain birch areas react as carbon sinks. In summer 2009, 31 monocormic trees (0.1-5.5 m height) were measured and excavated. The excavated trees formed the dataset to establish allometric biomass functions of Ic...
