Abstract
Abstract The author presents the results of field investigations into the flora of Mabel and Hooker islands in Franz‐Josef Land, carried out in 1979. She identified 41 species of plants on the two islands, bringing the total for the archipelago to 47. In the case of each island the topography and geology is described in some detail. The composition of the communities (in terms of phanerogams, lichens, and mosses) found in each habitat (e.g., raised beaches, talus slopes, stream courses, etc.) is then presented in detail. On the basis of her evaluation the author would include Franz‐Josef Land in a High Arctic tundra zone, rather than in an “arctic desert”; zone.
