Abstract
Under severe conditions in the arctic the physical environment frequently overrides biological competition, allowing essentially random occurrence of plants without distinct associations and with the frequent coexistence of related species that have extremely similar requirements. Furthermore, a mixed population may be so advantageous in reducing disease incidence as to offset competition.Keywords
