Abstract

Summary Community assembly is described for two contrasting high Arctic chronosequences representing glacial regression of up to 2000 years on Svalbard. The chronosequences included a nutrient‐poor glacier foreland (Midtre Lovénbre) and a series of nutrient‐enriched islands (Lovén Islands) progressi...
