Arctic Vegetation and Light in Polar Regions
Prof J Wiesner of Vienna University reports findings on Arctic plant light needs. Observations in Norway and Advent Bay show low temperatures demand more light, limiting northward plant migration. Diffused light predominates, while direct sun is weak. Alpine plants get much more light. The form of trees adapts to lighting, favoring pyramidal shapes in Arctic regions and vertical lighting in lower latitudes.
