fell field
fell field An area, within the tundra belt, of frost-shattered stony debris with interstitial fine particles, that supports various plant species in a mixed community. The vegetation is sparse, however, and typically occupies less than half the ground. Frequently fell fields display patterned-ground phenomena, resulting from freeze-thaw activity in the soil.
