Ecological characterization of some selected vascular species in the Arctic environment of Ny-Alesund, Svalbard, in relation to soil moisture conditions
An attempt has been made to characterize and categorize some selected vascular species in the Ny-Alesund area, Svalbard, in relation to soil moisture conditions. A total of sixty releves were established to describe the floristic structures of plant communities. At each releve site, one soil core sa...

An attempt has been made to characterize and categorize some selected vascular species in the Ny-Alesund area, Svalbard, in relation to soil moisture conditions.
