Hensikten med kartlegginga var å registrere vegetasjonstyper, artssammensetning og gjengroingsstatus på øyer som har ulik størrelse, topografi, geologisk sammensetning, brukshistorie, samt ulikt fugleliv. De fleste øyer i denne undersøkelsen har ikke blitt kartlagt før, slik at prosjektet har bidratt til ny kunnskap om deler av dette unike øyriket i Breiðafjörður. In 2014, 22 islands in Breiðafjörður, West-Iceland were mapped for vegetation. The purpose to this study was to map vegetation types, distribution of plant species and overgrowing status in islands which differs in size, topography, bedrock composition, land use and birdlife activity. Most of the islands in this study have not been mapped before. This project provides new knowledge to part of the unique archipelago of Breiðafjörður. LAND/COUNTRY: Iceland STED/LOKALITET: 22 islands in Breiðafjörður GODKJENT /APPROVED PROSJEKTLEDER /PROJECT LEADER Knut Anders Hovstad Thomas Holm Carlsen HEAD OF DEPARTMENT RESEARCHER Preface Norwegian Institute for Bioeconomy research, NIBIO in cooperation with the University of Iceland's Research Centre at Snæfellsnes have accomplished vegetation mapping of 22 islands in Breiðafjörður in the west part of Iceland. The project was funded by Breiðafjarðarnefnd (www.breidafjordur.is). The contact person in Breiðafjarðarnefnd was Trausti Baldursson, a former member of the board and Theódóra Matthíasdóttir, the secretary of the board. We want to thank Rannveig Thoroddsen and Guðmundur Guðjónsson at The Icelandic Institute of Natural History for helping out with the vegetation classification. We had good discussions of which legends to use on the different islands regarding to the different plant species found and the distribution of them. We also like to thank Árni’s father Ásgeir Árnasson for boat rental, and Kristján Lár Gunnarsson for driving us to Vaktarhólmi, Stóri Sindingahólmi, Litli Sindingahólmi, Ólafsey and Galtarey in the eastern part of the mapping area.

The islands and tides interact to create tidal currents in several places, particularly near the outlet of the fjord Hvammsfjörður. The tidal amplitude is high and reaches a maximum of five metres, which makes the tidal currents particularly powerful. The geology in Breiðafjörður is relatively uniform: most of the islands consist of basic and intermediate lavas from tertiary, older than 3.1 million years. Some few exceptions are Hrappsey, Purkey, Seley and Klakkeyjar located some few kilometres northeast of Stykkishólmur; these islands have intrusions of basic and intermediate dolerite (Jóhannesson 1994). The islands are vegetated, largely due to fertilizing from abundant birdlife (Ferðafélag Íslands 1989) but also due to historical land use. Historically, island farmers, supported by the abundant natural resources found within the area, inhabited the. Breiðafjörður was commonly called “Iceland‘s treasure chest” due to its rich natural resources. During the mid-20th century, the number of farms in the islands dramatically decreased and subsequent urbanization on the mainland in relation to increased fisheries (Kjartansdóttir 2009). In 1942, 1960 and 1975 there were 26, 8 and 3 islands farms inhabited, respectively (Ferðafélag Íslands 1989) although Brokey remained inhabited year-round until 1982. Island farming was a combination of conventional farming, fisheries and natural resources. Livestock was kept on the “home” islands (is: heimaeyjar) where the people lived or adjacent, smaller islands and islets belonging to each farm. Island farming was labour intensive; for example, haymaking for island farms required visiting every island, cutting, raking, drying and transporting hay from each island with boats. Boats were the main

  • Colonial Garden Plants
    COLONIAL GARD~J~ PLANTS I Flowers Before 1700 The following plants are listed according to the names most commonly used during the colonial period. The botanical name follows for accurate identification. The common name was listed first because many of the people using these lists will have access to or be familiar with that name rather than the botanical name. The botanical names are according to Bailey’s Hortus Second and The Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture (3, 4). They are not the botanical names used during the colonial period for many of them have changed drastically. We have been very cautious concerning the interpretation of names to see that accuracy is maintained. By using several references spanning almost two hundred years (1, 3, 32, 35) we were able to interpret accurately the names of certain plants. For example, in the earliest works (32, 35), Lark’s Heel is used for Larkspur, also Delphinium. Then in later works the name Larkspur appears with the former in parenthesis. Similarly, the name "Emanies" appears frequently in the earliest books. Finally, one of them (35) lists the name Anemones as a synonym. Some of the names are amusing: "Issop" for Hyssop, "Pum- pions" for Pumpkins, "Mushmillions" for Muskmellons, "Isquou- terquashes" for Squashes, "Cowslips" for Primroses, "Daffadown dillies" for Daffodils. Other names are confusing. Bachelors Button was the name used for Gomphrena globosa, not for Centaurea cyanis as we use it today. Similarly, in the earliest literature, "Marygold" was used for Calendula. Later we begin to see "Pot Marygold" and "Calen- dula" for Calendula, and "Marygold" is reserved for Marigolds.

Everyone was determined to make the most of sunshine on the first day of what for many, was their first real trip out in almost 18 months. We headed straight out on the Lizard peninsula past Culdrose Naval station and through the pretty village of Gunwalloe, down to Church Cove. Every hedge was hazed navy blue with Bluebells and clouds of Cow Parsley brushed the van on the narrow lanes. In glorious late afternoon sunshine, we wandered out of the car park towards the cove. The Cornish hedges were covered in the glossy green leaves of Sea Beet (Beta maritima) interspersed with Danish Scurvygrass (Cochlearia danica) that was coming to the end of its flowering season. As we got nearer to the beach, one wall was covered from top to bottom with a blanket of Sea Sandwort (Honckenya peploides) in full flower. The cliffs were dotted with Common Scurvygrass (Cochlearia officinalis) and huge mounds of Thrift (Armeria maritima). Up on top of the cliffs we came across our first blue Spring Squills (Scilla verna).

  • Antiscorbutics": Some Notes on the Traditional Cures for "Land Scurvy"
    Medical History, 1990, 34: 52-64. THE RISE AND FALL OF THE "ANTISCORBUTICS": SOME NOTES ON THE TRADITIONAL CURES FOR "LAND SCURVY" by R. ELWYN HUGHES * "For these have a singular priviledge and prerogative in reason, to pull up this disease by the rootes." (Wierus, 1622) . the simple antiscorbutics so much extolled by Eugalenus, are by no means sufficient to remove it." (Lind, 1753) The first part ofthis paper outlines the emergence ofthe "antiscorbutic" herbs as the basis of standard medications for treatmen;t of scurvy amongst land-dwellers. The second part describes the preparation of five "antiscorbutic" herb preparations reportedly successful in the treatment ofa number ofcases described as "scurvy" in the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Analyses of their ascorbic acid (vitamin C) content indicates their essential ineffectiveness as a treatment for clinically-defined scurvy (avitaminosis C) and supports the beliefthat the term "scurvy" was widely used by clinicians to describe a range of conditions unrelated to lack of vitamin C. By the beginning ofthe seventeenth century the use oflemonjuice for the prevention and cure of scurvy (avitaminosis C) amongst seafaring personnel was reasonably well established in Europe.' John Woodall, in his Surgeon's mate (1639), commented that "Succus Limonum, or juice of lemons ... [is] the most precious helpe that ever was *R.

  • Sailors' Scurvy Before and After James Lind – a Reassessment
    Historical Perspective Sailors' scurvy before and after James Lind–areassessment Jeremy Hugh Baron Scurvy is a thousand-year-old stereotypical disease characterized by apathy, weakness, easy bruising with tiny or large skin hemorrhages, friable bleeding gums, and swollen legs. Untreated patients may die. In the last five centuries sailors and some ships' doctors used oranges and lemons to cure and prevent scurvy, yet university-trained European physicians with no experience of either the disease or its cure by citrus fruits persisted in reviews of the extensive but conflicting literature. In the 20th century scurvy was shown to be due to a deficiency of the essential food factor ascorbic acid. This vitamin C was synthesized, and in adequate quantities it completely prevents and completely cures the disease, which is now rare. The protagonist of this medical history was James Lind. His report of a prospective controlled therapeutic trial in 1747 preceded by a half-century the British Navy's prevention and cure of scurvy by citrus fruits. After lime-juice was unwittingly substituted for lemon juice in about 1860, the disease returned, especially among sailors on polar explorations. In recent decades revisionist historians have challenged normative accounts, including that of scurvy, and the historicity of Lind's trial. It is therefore timely to reassess systematically the strengths and weaknesses of the canonical saga.nure_205 315..332 © 2009 International Life Sciences Institute INTRODUCTION patients do not appear on the ship’s sick list, his choice of remedies was improper, and his inspissated juice was Long intercontinental voyages began in the late 16th useless.“Scurvy” was dismissed as a catch-all term, and its century and were associated with scurvy that seamen dis- morbidity and mortality were said to have been exagger- covered could be cured and prevented by oranges and ated.
