        <gco:CharacterString>Gagnasafn (GDB) NI_G40r_grodurRala:
Gróðurkort af Íslandi (Rala, Hálendiskort) 1:40.000. Gróðukort af afréttum og öðrum beitilöndum, sem notuð voru til að ákvarða beitarþol. Kortin eru verðmæt heimild um gróðurfar á miðhálendi Íslands. 
[The Vegetation Map of Iceland series (Rala) 1:40.000 comprises 65 map sheets. Sheet index see http://utgafa.ni.is/kort/thumbnails/NI_G40r_grodurRala_bladskipting.pdf. ] 
Gróðurkortin eru oft nefnd hálendiskort. Þau sýna gróðurfélög og landgerðir, aðallega á hálendi Íslands. Tilgangur þeirra var að ákvarða beitarþol og stjórna nýtingu beitilanda. Útgefin voru 65 gróðurkort af afréttum, hálendi og öðrum svæðum.  Gróður- og landgreining byggir á gróðurlykli Rala sem Steindór Steindórsson tók saman. Á gróðukortum Rala í mælikvarða 1:40.000, er gróður flokkaður í um 90 gróðurfélög sem dregin eru sman í 14 gróðurlendi.

            <gco:CharacterString>Gróðurkortin eru unnin á árunum 1961-1980. Gróður- og landgreining var unnin á svart-hvítar loftmyndir í mælikvarða 1:36.000 sem voru teknar af bandaríska hernum árin 1945-1946, 1955-1956, 1959-1961. Einnig voru notaðar nýjar loftmyndir frá Landmælingum Íslands, einkum af byggð. Grunnkort sem notuð voru við gerð gróðurkorta: 1) AMS (Army Map Service) prentuð kort í mælikvarða 1:50.000, 1950-51, og með 20 m hæðarlínum sem einfaldaðar voru í 100 m hæðarlínur til að auðvelda lestur kortanna. 2) Útgefin kort frá Geodætisk Institut, atlasblöð í mkv. 1:100.000 og fjórðungsblöð í mkv. 1:50.000. Blaðskipting miðast við blaðskiptingu AMS kortanna. Gróðurkortagerðin var eitt af aðalverkefnum búnaðardeildar Atvinnudeildar Háskólans frá 1955 og síðar Rannsóknarstofnunar landbúnaðarins (Rala) frá 1965. Vettvangsvinna (gróður- og landgreining) var unnin á vegrum þeirra. Útgáfa kortanna var kostuð af Menningarsjóði og Rala árin 1968-1985. Kortin voru teiknuð og unnin á filmur hjá Landmælingum Ísland og prentuð á pappír. Stærð kortblaða er um 46x60 cm. Útgefin kort voru skönnuð árið 2006 og eru þau til á rastaformi hjá Náttúrufræðistofnun Íslands.
