19911990 Summary:
The researcher will complete the intensive sampling of the Arctic Coastal Plain west of Shallow Bay on the Mackenzie River Delta to the Alaska border, where tundra surfaces could differ from those east of the Mackenzie Delta, high arctic tundra on northern Cape Bathurst, and additional treeline sites between Inuvik and the Horton River....

Summary:
To 1) collect and analyze present-day pollen sedimentation from major plant communities on several high arctic site types, 2) to correlate this production with actual plant cover, and 3) to compare the modern pollen rain to historical pollen deposits analyzed in the Department of Geography, University of Western Ontario (R. King) and during the I.B.P. Project (Jankovska and Bliss)....

Summary:
To investigate the spatial and temporal relationships between plant species distribution and beach age on Truelove Lowland, Devon Island. To measure plant composition and spatial variability on different sites on a raised beach and on raised beaches of different ages from the most recent to the oldest and (2) to correlate vegetation parameters with site factors such as soil texture, macro-nutrien...

Summary:
To analyze the environmental processes that control plant distribution and succession on shorelines of the Mackenzie Delta. Specific objectives of the research are to examine (1) the colonization and establishment on exposed mudflats and other newly-available sites, (2) the responses of the shoreline plants to fluctuations in the biophysical environment, and (3) the chemical and physical properti...
