Kartlav - Rhizocarpon geographicum - gatna Rhizocarpon geographicum (the map lichen) is a species of lichen, which grows on rocks in . mountainous areas of low air pollution. Lichen has been used to develop a dating method for stone and stone location. The method is called lichenometry and based on that rhizocarpon geographicum has a relatively even expanding growth and that the largest deposits is the oldest. In an experiment, this lichen species was placed in a capsule and launched into space. The capsule was opened, exposing the lichen to space conditions for 10 days before being brought back down to Earth, where it showed minimal changes or damage. Mygg - Nematocera- čuoika - Mosquitoes VANDRING blandt VEKSTER i tid og rom Engsyre - Rumex acetosa - skirejuopmo - Sorrel Engsyre hadde i tidligere tider en allsidig medisinsk anvendelse. Den viktigste bruken av engsyre var imidlertid mot skjørbuk, noe som skyldes det høye innholdet av vitamin C i bladene. Samene spiste ofte engsyre, noe som gjorde at de sjelden var utsatt for denne sykdommen. Syrebladene ble finhakket og kokt til en rett som samene kalte juobmo, og denne ble spist bl.a. mot slapphet og dårlig matlyst. Det er beskrevet nær 50 000 nålevende arter i verden. I tillegg er det beskrevet svært mange utdødde grupper og arter ut fra funn i rav eller som fossiler. Det er bare noen få arter som stikker eller biter. De fleste arter er harmløse. Mygg har larvestadiet i død ved, mudder, jord eller råtnende planterester. Noen lever i fruktlegemet til sopper. Normalt finnes mygg med larvestadier i vann, bare i ferskvann. Men noen arter i gruppen fjærmygg finnes ned til 30 meters dyp i havet og opp til over 5 000 meters høyde i fjellområder. Postmestervannet - Kirkenes - Girkonjárja In the seventies KIF(local sports association) built this little hut . It was then part of. a ski stadium, and from 1973 it was held a popular skiing competition in this area. Av Margrethe Pett Kråkebær - Empetrum nigrum - čuopmajas - crowberry In subarctic areas, Empetrum has been a vital addition to the diet of the Inuit and the Sami. After waning popularity, the crowberry is regaining its reputation as an edible berry. It provides a steady crop and the gathering is relatively easy. The high concentration of anthocyanin pigment can be used as a natural food dye Empetrum can be hundreds of years old, living and growing under very hush conditions. It is an invasive species taking over huge areas in Finnmark, in combination of to many reindeer. Gjøk - Cuculus canorus - giehka - Common cuckoo The Cuckoo is a brood parasite, which means it lays eggs in the nests of other bird species. The cuckoo is in the Sami culture known to notify death. Finnmarkspors - Ledum palustre - Guohcarássi - Wild rosemary In Northern Norway it was particularly the Sami who used wild rosemary. The Sami name guohcarássi means " gras with bad smell ". So it doesn’t taste very well. From Finnmark it is known that a decoction of Wild rosemary was drunk for colds, chest pain, runny nose, cough, hypertension, diphtheria and cystitis. Ledum palustre was in ancient times used in brewing beer instead of hops. Such beer was powerful intoxicating, but also gave headaches and dizziness. Fjellbjørk vokser i fjellregionen og danner tregrensen mot snaufjellet mange steder. Den blir inntil 8 meter høy, og er motstandsdyktig mot frost og vind i fjellet, hvor den former seg etter terrenget. Frossen fjellbjørk brenner når den er rå og toppskudd av levende/rå fjellbjørk brenner hele året. Downy birch extends farther north into the Arctic than any other broadleaf tree. Specimens of the subarctic populations are usually small and very contorted, and are often distinguished as "arctic" downy birch. - Polarfjellflokk - Polemonium boreale - Jacobs ladder Boreal Jacobs-ladder, is a plant native to the most of the high arctic. In Greenland it is found only in a small area on the east coast. It is not very common. Circumpolar species in Norway found only on Bugøynes. Polarflokk er fredet. Vassarve-Stellaria media-silljohilsku - Starweed In small doses intake of starweed improve digestion, and through hundreds of years, people have used starweed as an ingredient in salads and on sandwiches. Chickweed has a crunchy texture and a fresh, cress-ish taste . - especially in the spring it can be a both tasty and nutritious addition to the diet. Inneholder Sapoiner, kiselsyre, vitamin A, B og C, samt rikelig med andre næringssalter og sporstoffer. Saponinene har en lignende betennelseshemmende effekt som kortison, men virker mye mildere og uten skadelige bivirkninger.
