58 ÍSLENZKAR LANDBÚNAÐARRANNSÓKNIR Við gerð gróðurkortsins 1978 voru merkt sérstaklega þau svæði, sem voru of grýtt til ræktunar, og eru þau um 870 hektarar, fjórðungur afflatarmáli hólfsins. Grjótið takmarkar ræktun minna í neðra hæðarbeltinu, um 9%, en mun meiraí efra beltinu, um 31%. Þessar tölur segja þó ekki nema hálfa sögu um ræktunarhæfni ÞAK.KARORÐ Verkefnið var unnið undir leiðsögn Gylfa Más Guðbergssonar dósents í landafræði við Jarðfræðiskor Háskóla Islands. Fram- kvæmdin var háð fyrirgreiðslu Rann- sóknastofnunar landbúnaðarins, er lagði til öll helstu gögn og tæki, en þar naut höfundur sérstaklega aðstoðar Ingva Þor- steinssonar magisters. Þjórsárdalsnefnd SUMMARY Changes in the vegetation cover of the Thjórsár- dalur area. Guðmundur Guðjónsson Agricultural Institute, Keldnaholt v/Vesturlandsveg, Reykjavík. This treatise deals with changes in the vegetative cover of the Thjorsardalur area from 1960 to 1977. The area has been protected from grazing since 1938. The Agricultural Research Institute prepared a vegetation map of the area in 1960. In 1977 the author prepared a cor- responding vegetation map and compared it with the previous one. During the 17 year interval in question several factors have influenced the vege- tation changes in the area, such as pro- tection from grazing, volcanic ash de- posits, the establishments of fertilized grass fields, and construction ofroads and landsins, því að halli er víða mikill, sér- staklega í efra hæðarbeltinu. Hér hafa ekki verið mæld sérstaklega þau svæði, þar sem halli takmarkar ræktunarmöguleika. Samt er augljóst, að skilyrði til aukinnar ræktunar í beitarhólfmu eru mikil og full ástæða til þess að kanna hagkvæmni stór- felldrar ræktunar. hefur sýnt verkefninu mikinn áhuga og stutt höfund fjárhagslega til verksins. Einnig var leitað til Landmælinga Islands, Landsvirkjunar, Landgræðslu ríkisins og Skógræktar ríkisins. öllum þessum aðilum eru færðar þakkir. buildings in connection with a large-scale hydroelectric project. It is not possible, based on available information, to determine the long range effects of the nearby eruption in 1970, and on the vegetative cover. It is, on the other hand, evident that the establishment of fertilized grass fields far more than com- pensates for vegetative areas taken up by the mentioned construction projects. Protection of the area from grazing has led to a greatly improved vegetative cover: areas previously denuded have acquired a plant cover, and the vegetation is now in general more varied and proliflc. Thus, the grazing capacity of the area has in- creased considerably. These improve- ments contribute more to the productive capacity of the area than recent fertilized grass fields.
