|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Qeqertarsuaq_prim | Primary site | Sub-arctic slope supporting closed vegetation of herbs and Salix scrub, flushed by warm springs issuing from basalt rocks | Humic, flushed | Low ridges dominated by S. glauca scrub separated by stream valleys lined with mosses and herbs | S-facing slope with large accumulations of snow and warmth from perennially unfrozen stream |
| Qeqertarsuaq_fell-field | Fell-field site | Exposed gravely plateau. Vegetation sparse and scattered | Dry, gravelly | Fell-field community with low, sparse cover of herbs, prostrate dwarf shrubs, cushion plants and cryptogams | Wind-exposed ridge/plateau with little snow at times in winter and ice layers on the ground |
| Lyngmarksbugten | Lyngmarksbugten site | Sub-arctic slope supporting closed vegetation of herbs and Salix scrub, flushed by warm springs issuing from basalt rocks | Humic, flushed | Banks of a stream lined with mosses and herbs rising into a higher area dominated by S. glauca scrub | S-facing slope with large accumulations of snow and warmth from perennially unfrozen stream. In partial shade from neighbouring rocks on some days in summer |
