  • Chapter
Fennoscandian Tundra Ecosystems

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

Abstract

The leaf areas and leaf angles of vascular plants were measured in 1972 and partly in 1971 at Norwegian IBP Tundra sites, lichen heath, dry meadow, wet meadow and willow thicket in the low-mid alpine zones and at the subalpine birch forest site described by Sonesson et al. (1975).
