- Title
CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ECOLOGY OF SPITSBERGEN AND BEAR ISLAND.

Summerhayes, V. S.; Elton, C. S.
- Abstract
The article explores the plant and animal communities in some areas in Bear Island and Spitsbergen, Norway. The authors examine the effect of nitrogen on plant species and special communities, then describe the food cycle in Bear Island and the series of brackish and freshwater ponds at Klaas Billen Bay. Findings reveal that there is small number of plants and animals species in both areas because of severe conditions, geographical isolation and the absence of day and night as separate habitats. Analysis also show that most animals species are usually confined to more than one habitat, plant association or plant species.
