EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES
The European Journal of Environmental Sciences offers a mixture of original peer-reviewed research papers, which bring you some of the most exciting developments in environmental sciences in the broadest sense, often with an inter- or trans-disciplinary perspective, focused on the European problems. The journal also includes critical reviews on topical issues, and overviews of the status of environmental protection in particular regions or countries. The journal covers a broad range of topics, including direct or indirect interactions between abiotic or biotic components of the environment, interactions of environment with human society, or environmental sustainability.

abstract

We studied plants on several neighbouring small islands in an Arctic lake and the sea and despite a common source of colonizers and similar environmental characteristics there were striking differences in the compositions of their floras. The best explanation of the differences could be a combination of several factors, most likely salinity and tides.
