Spatial assessment of the vegetation evolution by comparing two series of releves (1975-2006) on a strandflat section in Svalbard
International audience; The vegetation evolution is analysed on the forefield of two glaciers in Svalbard for a period of 31 years (1975-2006). In 1975, 85 stations were positioned along transects going from the coast line to the glacier fronts; botanical releves were made at each point. The adopted protocol allowed us to carry out a new observation session in 2006 under the same conditions. The collected information is encoded in the proper way to enable a comparison between the two series. Thus, it is possible to make a botanical assessment of species and taxa which have appeared or disappeared, and to see how the releves have evolved in reference to a typology established by coupling cor…
