SUMMARY
SITKA SPRUCE IN S. E. ICELAND
Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr) is
one of the most promising forest trees in Iceland.
This species is growing reasonably well in S.E.
Iceland and better than elsewhere in the country.
Maximum mean annual volume increment is 6 to
12 mVha/year. And 8 to 10 mYha/year is common
on the more sheltered sites. Spring frosts and the
green spruce aphid have caused heavy losses in

plantations. Wind is also a problem. Provenances
from A. Alaska are likely to do better in the area
than the present Kenai Peninsula and Prince
Wiliiam Sound provenances. Change of prove-
nances and silviculture taking wind and the green
spruce aphid into account is likeiy to enable
development of commercial forestry based on
sitka spruce in this area.
