The Influence of Cryptogamic Crusts on the Thermal Environment and Temperature Relations of Plants in a High Arctic Polar Desert, Devon Island, N.W.T., Canada
The thermal microenvironment and leaf temperatures of two plants (Saxifraga caespitosa and S. oppositifolia) were studied in a high arctic polar desert over four summers. Surface and plant temperatures exceeded air temperatures by 5 to 15°C during sunny periods, with smaller effects on soil temperat...
