| Description | In samples of mosses collected during an expedition in the year 1987 along the southern border of Iceland, in seven habitats on the slopes of Skerhöll Hill, south of the glacier Svínafellsjökull, 80 taxa of testate amoebae have been recorded. From these taxa 24 species are new to Iceland. Up to now, including our own data, on the basis of available sources 174 taxa have been reported for Iceland. In the mosses Racomitrium heterostichum and Racomitrium aciculare an Assulina muscorum Centropyxis globulosa-association has been recorded. |
