A phytosociological study of the vegetation in the Ny-Ålesund area, Spitsbergen
This paper was undertaken to classify and describe the vegetation of the Ny-Ålesund area in Spitsbergen using the method of the Z-M school of phytosociology. The investigations were carried out at 55 stands which were located in an area ranging from the coast to the mountain regions in and around Ny...

Subass. of Lecanora epibryon. 3. Xanthoria elegans community. They belong to some higher units left to be investigated in the future. Each of the vegetation units classified is described with an association table showing the floristic composition and data about growing habitats. Their distribution is made clear by showing the actual localities of each association on the map. The interrelations among six associations and one community classified were examined on the basis of the similarity index (P. JACCARD, Bull. Soc. Vaudoise Sci. Nat., 37,547,1901).
