A comparison of fungal floras of highland and lowland pastures in Iceland.

Includes b&w maps; b&w illus.; bibliographic references Fifty-four soil samples were collected during the summers of 1982 and 1983 from a reclaimed bogland (elevation 20 m = lowland) pasture at approximately 64°N, 21 °W and 40 soil samples were obtained in the same time period from a highlan...
