Les terres nues [...] accroissent leur superficie dans le domaine haut-arctique ou sur les pentes exposées au vent et sur celles qui évoluent par solifluxion; dès que le sol devient trop instable, le couvert végétal se disloque et se raréfie. C'est le cas dans les secteurs plats ou en légère pente où se dessinent les polygones de pierres ou les sols striés. Les rares plantes qui s'installent enfoncent leurs racines dans les fissures des murs argileux (polygones d'argile) ou dans les parties fines. 3, record 1, French, - terre%20nue
