Carbon dynamics in chronosequence of boreal forest ecosystems: a production ecological approach
Principal Investigator: Osawa, Akira
Licensed Year(s): 2017 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001
Summary: Northern forests are closely connected to the issue of global warming because they are likely to absorb much of the carbon dioxide that is emitted into the air by humans. The amount that these forests absorb, however, is not clear. The main objectives of the 2005 field season are to collect data on the annual growth of fine roots, and to further examine the rate of soil respiration. Both of these...

Reconstruction of forest structure and function in Canadian Taiga
Principal Investigator: Osawa, Akira
Licensed Year(s): 1998 1997
Summary: The research team consisting of forest ecologists, will go to Wood Buffalo National Park by air. A rental vehicle will also be used in the field. Most activities will consist of re-measuring jack pine stands that were examined in 1992. Various kinds of measuring tapes and a pole are used to obtain data. A few stands will be studies by taking stem samples for examination of tree rings and tree g...

Testing the Allometric Theory of the Self-Thinning Rule
Principal Investigator: Osawa, Akira
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1987
Summary: The researcher and his team will estimate the number of trees and monitor individual growth in flagged and tagged stands, as well as estimating foliage weight of individual trees. They will measure light conditions in various jack pine stands, as well as collect stem cores to be analyzed and compared with stem cores from other parts of the northern hemisphere for the possibility of accelerated gr...
