Vegetation has been increasing in northern latitudes in recent decades and can be attributed to higher temperatures from global warming as well as changes in agricultural practices and grazing by livestock. This increase has lead to encroachment of shrub species into lower vegetation ecosystems. These changes in habitat can influence abundance and communities of species. Iceland has internationally important breeding populations of several terrestrial bird species where most have their stronghold in lowland areas. The aim of this study was to estimate the effects of shrub encroachment on avian communities in lowland Iceland. The study was conducted in lowland Iceland in 2017 and 2018. Birds were counted on plots with shrubs and on adjacent ...
