Plant Phenology of Fennoscandian Tundra Areas

  • Chapter
Fennoscandian Tundra Ecosystems

Part of the book series: Ecological Studies ((ECOLSTUD,volume 16))

Abstract

A short review of literature on phenological studies in tundra is given by Wielgolaski (1974). Generally, snow cover is found to be the primary factor influencing tundra phenology (Holway and Ward, 1965), with soil temperature also of importance.
