It was first planted in subarctic Iceland in the 1950s. Rece...

Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) invasion in Steinadalur, SE Iceland.
A sub-arctic heathland is becoming a dense forest due to *Pinus contorta* invasion. This rapid ecological shift, seen across Iceland, will impact both native flora and birdlife in the years ahead.
