Adaptations of Arctic and Alpine Plants to Environmental Conditions
Discusses tundra environments, i.e. beyond the climatic timberline, mostly in Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and USSR, and various mechanisms used by plants in adapting to them. Despite a very short growing season with low air and soil temperatures, adverse wind effects, and a low nitrogen-utilization l...
