Heimildir - References - - - Ástand lands - Land condition

Hér eru nokkrar heimildir á ensku og íslensku, en mun ítarlegri listi er í heimildarlista ritsins "Ástand lands og hrun íslenskra vistkerfa".  ítrekuð er ábending um ritið   "Að lesa og lækna landið" , en einnig greinina "Hnignun gróðurs og jarðvegs" eftir Ásu L. Aradóttir o.fl. (1992) og 12 kafla bókarinnar "The Soils of Iceland" fyrir efni á ensku. 

Here are some references on land condition (in part based on the 12th Chapter in "The Soils of Iceland", titled "Collapse, Erosion, Condition and Restoration".  A more detailed reference list is in "Ástand lands og hrun íslenskra visterfa" ("Land condition and the collapse of Icelandic ecosystems").
