An Island Biogeographicai Analysis of the Flora
of the Faroe Isiands

3 tables, references
<An enumeration of the number of species found on each of

flora of the individual islands, for example that Skúvoy

146: Christiansen, Sofus: Infield-Outfield systems
- characteristics and development in different cli-
matic environments
in: Geografisk Tidsskrift, vol. 77, 1978, pp. 1-5, 5
figures, references, dansk resume
<"The infield-outfield system is defined, and its previous
wide distribution noted. Its characteristics: efficiency, sta-
bility, and development are described. I-o farming is able to
improve farmland by its ion-transfer mechanism. Finally its
present survival in the North Atlantic region is explained by
the system's rationality where altitude and climate restrict
both expansion of infield and possiblilties for ripening ce-
reals">
