pap01 | This new class (for the protologue see Daniëls et al. 2016) represents the zonal vegetation of the polar desert zone delineated by Bay (1997: 685–696, Fig. 7) as the Subzone A, which is characterised by sparse vegetation of vascular plants, lack of woody plants, absence (unlike in tundra) of sedges (Carex), absence of bog mosses (Sphagnum), and a pronounced occurrence of other bryophytes as well as lichens and cyanobacteria. (F. Daniëls).
