We made a detailed investigation of the occurrence and cover of lichen species near Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, high Arctic Norway, in 1994. We identified 82 lichen species, and our data clearly show their forms, location, and microtopography and composition of lichens. This information will be useful for understanding future vegetation changes.
