in Scotland]]>RashidQasair A.D. Headley D.P.M. Comber 3200363Koenigia islandica has a disjunct Arctic-sub Arctic circumpolar distribution extending
southwards to several isolated mountain ranges of northern Europe, Asia and North
America. The population of this plant on the Isle of Skye (at altitude 461-726 m) and Isle
of Mull at (385-523 m) was the most Southerly in Europe and therefore the most
vulnerable likely to exhibit the impact of climatic fluctuations on numbers and
survivorship. Koenigia was also an annual, which made it particularly vulnerable to
adverse conditions and exhibited large fluctuations in number and survivorship between
years. Mapping the precise position of colonies of Koenigia on island of Mull and Skye
was done by geographical positioning systems (GPS).]]>Rodwell, J.S.,1991Rodwell, J.S.,1992Houghton, J.T. and G.J. Jenkins,1990Perring, F.H. and L. Farrell,19832nd Edn.,
