Explore Iceland’s seas through a detailed study of marine algae and their habitats. This volume surveys the littoral and sublittoral vegetation, explains how climate and depth shape which species thrive, and compares Iceland’s coastline with nearby regions. Rich in observations and historical context, it blends field work with earlier research to map where different algae groups and sea-grass communities live, how they fruit through the year, and how they change with seasons.
What you’ll get from this edition:
Ideal for readers of field-based natural history, marine botany, or Icelandic ecology who want an evidence-based, region-focused overview of how underwater plant communities are arranged and how they respond to the environment.

Excerpt from The Botany of Iceland, Vol. 1: With One Plate and 82 Figures in the Text
Next summer we hope that a young lichenologist will be able to set to work in a similar manner, and will be followed by others, until the work can be completed with a general account of the vegetation and the plant-geographical position of the island.
