Summary:
This license has been issued for the scientific research application #868.
The objectives of this research are to determine what changes have occurred in spruce trees near the treeline in response to the warming climate of the Mackenzie Delta region over the past 20-50 years.

The researchers want to determine the age of the isolated "tree islands" and how they manage to grow so far from the treeline. Researchers look for old stems for carbon dating, and map the position of each stem. The age and growth rates of the trees are determined by counting and measuring tree-rings. This year plant communities found on south-facing slopes down the Anderson River will be studied....
