Some Ecological Notes on the Alpine Tundra in the Area of the Juneau Ice Field
During the summer of 1949 an introductory study of the vegetation of nunataks and peripheral tundra areas of the Juneau Ice Field was made. The field work constituted a part of the Juneau Ice Field Research Project, which in addition to ecology includes investigations in the fields of geology, glaci...
