For those interested in plant distribution and the effects of climate 
change . . . 

Take a look at this recent BBC News article suggesting arctic plants are

        http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6752767.stm

Here is the referenced report, Frequent Long-Distance Plant Colonization 
in the Changing Arctic, from the latest issue of Science Magazine.
