Studies on lichen-dominated systems. VII. Interaction of the general lichen–heath with edaphic factors
The patterns of variation in vegetation and the more apparent environmental parameters within and between the ridges of a recently formed Hudson Bay coastal raised-beach system 1.5 km wide are presented and analyzed using principle-component analysis and correlation coefficients. Previous research i...
