The lichen, bryophyte, and vascular plant flora and vegetation of the Landing Lake area, Prince Patrick Island, Arctic Canada
The relative abundance and ecology of 123 lichens, 12 liverworts, 1 peat moss, 59 mosses, and 40 vascular plants are described from the southeastern part of Prince Patrick Island, 76° N latitude. One hundred and three of the lichens, 25 of the bryophytes, and 6 of the vascular plants are first repor...
