MARC recordPalsas in Härjedalen, Sweden: 1910 and 1998 compared / Tomas Nihlén.
| Title: | Palsas in Härjedalen, Sweden: 1910 and 1998 compared / Tomas Nihlén. |
| Author(s): | Nihlén, Tomas. |
| Date: | 2000. |
| In: | Geografiska Annaler. Series A. Physical Geography. (2000.), Vol. 82A(1) (2000) |
| Abstract: | In 1998 finds several small palsa-like features with ice cores in area near Helagsfjället, Härjedalen where botanist Harry Smith found palsas in 1910. In one mound hard ice core survives at depth of 0.3 m in peat. This is most southerly location known with palsa-like forms in Sweden at present. Survival is in spite of warmer climate conditions, and probably depends on strong winds thinning out snowcover. |
