Polar-desert plants experience low average air temperatures during their short growing season (4–8 °C mean July temperature). In addition, low availability of inorganic nitrogen in the soil may also limit plant growth. Our goals were to elucidate

Lupinus lepidus, a prostrate, evergreen perennial and Lupinus latifolius, a robust, deciduous perennial were prominent survivors and among the first colonizers of early successional habitats following the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. In this st

Most of the ice-free lands within the Canadian High Arctic are classified as polar desert (44%) or semidesert (49%). Much of this desert landscape supports no more than 6-10 vascular species that provide 1-3% cover and cryptogamic organisms that occu

The structure of a tree seedling population is dependent on the interaction of several processes including seed dispersal, germination, survival, and competition on a physical landscape. Structural components (composition, size distributions, spatial

Polar deserts of the High Arctic contain vast areas of minimal plant cover and low primary productivity. Significant development of polar desert plant communities is largely restricted to areas with considerable cover of a cryptogamic soil crust, whi

Isostatic rebound and the periodic development of ice-push beach ridges have created topography suitable for development of biologically rich polar oases along the northeast coast of Devon Island, Canada. Distinct patterning of both plant communities

This study examined spatial and temporal variation in cyanobacterial nitrogen fixation and the environmental regulation of this variation at Truelove Lowland, Devon Island, N.W.T. Acetylene reduction rates of soil–plant cores from a variety of plan

Although mycorrhizal associations are commonly found on roots of most plant species, little is known about the presence or absence of mycorrhizae in arctic regions. In the Canadian High Arctic, roots of 55 herbaceous and woody plant species were exam

In this study, we quantify the distribution patterns of vascular plant species among microsites (stony border, transition, and center) of sorted stone nets and stripes. We also monitored edaphic factors (frost heave, temperature, moisture, and textur
