Agriculture in Svalbard : ウィキペディア英語版 | Agriculture in Svalbard
Agriculture in Svalbard – the world's northernmost – has a short history, and remains a minor economic factor, but has nonetheless had a culturally and socially significant role, as well as an ecologic impact. Svalbard is also home to the Global Seed Vault, which serves to protect the world's biological and agricultural diversity. ==Conditions== Svalbard, an archipelago administered by Norway and located far north of continental Europe in the Arctic Ocean, has a geography and climate largely unsuited for agriculture. Glacial ice covers 60% of its landmass, 30% is barren rock, and only 10% is vegetated. No arable land exists, and the mean average temperature during July – the warmest month, which is part of a three-month period of midnight sun – is only 5.8 °C (44.4 °F). The islands are only around 800 miles (1,100 km) from the North Pole. The indigenous fauna is limited, with few mammal land species and only a single wintering bird species.〔The Arctic fox and the Svalbard reindeer are two mammals on Svalbard, and the ptarmigan is the only bird wintering on Svalbard per this oldweb.sysselmannen.no source: (About Svalbard:Animals ). The southern vole is another mammal now.〕 The flora is highly diverse, biologically, but relatively scarce.
