MICROCLIMATE IN THE COMMUNITY OF MOSSES NEAR SYOWA BASE AT EAST ONGUL ISLAND, ANTARCTICA
The microclimatic condition was observed by the specially prepared selfrecording ther-mistor instrument in the community of mosses growing on the south-westward slope at the sandy area (about 500 m from Syowa Base) during the period from February 1961 to January 1962. In summer the community of moss...

In summer the community of mosses appears on the surface of the earth (mainly from January to February) but disappears under the snow drift during autumn, winter and spring. The temperature in the mosses community rises as high as +19℃ in summer. Though the air temperature (at Syowa Base) sometimes falls to -40℃, the temperature of mosses under the snow drift does not fall below -20℃ (Fig. 6). Accordingly the mean temperature in the mosses community is higher than the air temperature (Fig. 5).
