A Review of Nonscientific Factors Contributing to the Development of Terrestrial Ecosystem Conservation Policies and Practices in Iceland
Terrestrial ecosystems in Iceland have undergone tremendous alterations and degradation ever since the Norse first settled there in 870 C.E. Soon after recognizing the value of their land, the Norse tried to restore the damage they had done. Initial environmental protection efforts like these eventually gave way to a deep-rooted Icelandic environmentalism in the early 1900s that was both resolute and idealistic. A widespread ecological movement i…
Dilemmas of Nature-Based Tourism in Iceland
Nature-based tourism is a general term for travel activities in which people interact with land separate from humanity’s daily movements. Despite untouched land being the ideal locale, tourists also desire modern amenities and curated products. There is a tension between what level of development is idealized and desired, as development itself is counter to the founding ideal of nature-based tourism. In recent years, Iceland has experienced a boo…
Distribution of Radiocarbon Ages in Soil Organic Matter by Thermal Fractionation
Radiocarbon analysis is an important tool in quantifying soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics within the terrestrial carbon cycle. However, there is increasing appreciation that representing SOM as a single, homogeneous pool with a single, mean 14 C concentration is inadequate. We investigate whether the differing patterns in CO 2 release during ramped-temperature oxidation reflect organic matter of different ages, and hypothesize that thermally la…
