Dry matter and energy was measured in roots
and tops of five species at the experimental
station Korpa, near Reykjavík, Iceland, dur-
ing June and July 1973. The species tested
were Deschampsia caespitosa, Poa glauca,
Ranunculus acris, Taraxacum and Angelica
of Deschampsia.
The energy measured was on the average
3698 cal/g in roots and 3629 cal/g in tops
and varied from 2489 to 4248 cal/g in tops
of Deschampsia.
