Higher phytosociological syntaxa on Svalbard and their use in subdivision of the Arctic
Idealized distributions of phytosociological syntaxa are arranged along topographical gradients on siliceous and carbonaceous substrates in the northern arctic tundra zone of Svalbard. Two alliances (Luzulion arcuatae all. prov. and Papaverion dahliani Hoffm. 68 all. prov. em.) and three association...
