Lena Delta, near Stolb weather station. Arctic tundra hill dominated by moss of the edge of Lena delta national park (=undisturbed) but close to the weather station. Lemming holes in site. Mix of two types of Sphagnum like moss (not Sphagnum) with mounts of grasses. Thick (10-15 cm) moss layer. Ca 5% of Salix sp (5-10 cm high), ca 2% Vaccinia sp. Samples were collected from moss sites; soil mostly peaty rootzone with ca 10% clay. No soil without moss/moss roots. hills close to the river, cover by moss & grasses and low salix shrubs. Anthropogenic influence: hardly any, population 4 people, outside of natural park, but right at the edge so undisturbed. |
