Bengtson, S.A.; Fjellberg, A.; Solhoy, T., 1974: Abundance of tundra arthropods in Spitsbergen. Entomologica Scandinavica 5(2): 137-142
egetation, litter and soil of two lichen covered tundra sites, one wet moss tundra site and one grassland site in the Kongsfjord area of western Spitzbergen were sampled in late summer. Arthropod abundance data are given for the 0-3 cm soil layer at the lichen covered sites but only total abundance figures are given for the moss and grassland sites. Data are given for higher taxonomic units only.
