SUMMARY
Observations on soil temperatures in Iceland
by Bjarni IJelgason
University Research Inslitule, Departement oj Agnicullure, Reykjavík.
The purpose of the paper is to collect into one all available information
on soil temperature measurements in Iceland.
After a general introduction to the subject the reader is referred to some
of the more important papers dealing with soil temperature studies in the
Arctic and sub-Arctic.
The introduction is followed by a survey of previously published soil
temperature data (Tables 1—4), mostly collected by the Meteorological Bureau
