  Rysgaard, S. & Glud, R. N. (eds): Carbon cycling in Arctic marine ecosystems: Case study Young Sound, 214 pp.

  This volume synthesizes the marine research conducted in Young Sound, a High Arctic fjord in Northeast Greenland, since 1994. Several physical, chemical and biological aspects of this ecosystem are presented in individual chapters and used to construct a present-day carbon budget for the area. Finally, predictions are made of future changes to the ecosystem due to climate warming.

  Kapel, F. O.: Otto Fabricius and the seals of Greenland, 150 pp.

  This volume presents a translation of a pioneer treatise on the seals of Greenland, published in Danish 1790 and 1791 by Otto Fabricius (1744-1822). The translation is preceded by a biographical presentation of the man behind the work, and succeeded by an evaluation of the significance of his contribution in this field of research.

  This work represents the first thorough revision of the fungus tribus Hygrocybeae from the Arctic region. Among the 30 taxa accepted as Greenlandic, two are new to science. Several new characters to separate taxa e.g. in the notoriously difficult subsection Squamulosae are introduced.

  Schuchert, P.: Hydroids of Greenland and Iceland (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa), 184 pp.

  This is a comprehensive study of the marine benthic hydroids of Greenland and Iceland. It provides the reader with a faunal inventory, a revision of the species involved, and an identification aid. All the known species of the region are discussed and wherever possible, they are also described and illustrated with drawings based on original material.

  Petersen, G. H.: Studies on some Arctic and Baltic Astarte species (Bivalvia, Mollusca), 71 pp.

  This book is one of the numerous publications from the 1995-1996 expeditions to the arctic Ikkafjord, SW Greenland.

  A few genera evolved a large number of arctic species during late Tertiary. This is also true for certain bivalve genera, and the identification of the bivalve species from the quantitative material from Ikkafjord involved studies on material form the earliest scientific expeditions to the Arctic regions. The species concepts and their names date back to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when also the ideas on ice ages and glaciation took form. These ideas have been supported by studies on recent and fossil bivalves.

  The neotype of Astarte borealis (Schumacher, 1817) from Iceland, shown on the front page, was located in the collection of the Zoological Museum, Copenhagen. Illustrations of this species have been used for identifications of both Canadian and Baltic bivalves with some confusion as results. Peart of the Astarte species is cleared up here, but much is left to future studies.

  Sørensen, M. V. & Kristensen, R. M.: Marine Rotifera from Ikka Fjord, SW Greenland. With the description of a new species from the rare mineral ikaite, 46 pp.

  While working on the descriptions of rotifers from Ikka Fjord, SW Greenland, the authors of this book discovered a new rotifer, Notholca ikaitophila n. sp. (see fron cover illustration) inside the ikaite columns and from ikaite sand. The presence of movable lateral spines suggests that this new species has a close relationship to the Notholca striata group.
  Besides the new species, eight other species, including four planktonic species, were found. Six of these are new to Greenland.
  Besides the rotifer descriptions, this book has information on macro- and meiofauna in the Ikka Fjord as well as an ecological note regarding the unique habitat for the meiofauna inside the ikaite columns.

  Schwarzenbach, F. H.: Altitude distribution of vascular plants in mountains of East and Northeast Greenland¨¨, 193 pp.

  This book is about the altitudinal distribution of flowering plants and ferns in easter, northeastern and northern parts of Greenland. The analyses are based on 9626 records, documented by 3457 herbarium specimens, and describe the altitude distribution of each species. Altitude distribution types, ADT, are developed and combined with traditional two-dimensional distribution types applied by previous authors.

  Fredskild, B.: The vegetation types of Northeast Greenland. A phytosociological study based mainly on material left by Th. Sørensen from the 1931-35 expeditions, 84 pp.
  <hr>

  This book is the result of many years of meticulous study of plant communities found in the middle-arctic environment of Northeast Greenland.

  The vegetation types and their ecology is described through 347 analyses carried out by Th. Sørensen in 1931-35, and 136 analyses carried out in recent years by the author.

  Soil samples have been analyzed for nine factors for the major part of Sørensen's analyses. The most characteristic vegetations are different dwarfshrub heaths, grass lands, fens, snowbeds, and fell-fields. Based on the composition of higher plants and mosses the vegetations have been grouped in 13 associations, subdivided into 42 lower phytosociological units.
