Principal Investigator:Baltzer, Jennifer L Licensed Year(s):
2023
Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5568.
The primary objective of this project is to link long-term records of ground temperature and permafrost conditions with changes in landcover and water quality of adjacent ponds and lakes. In other words, how thawing permafrost alters terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem properties.
Along the Mackenzie Valley corridor...

Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5567.
This project has two primary objectives:
1) To investigate the differences in shrub productivity traits between undisturbed and disturbed tundra sites to better understand the impact of shrub expansion and disturbance on ecosystem function.
2) To investigate the impact of shrub productivity trait differences on deco...

20172016 Summary:
The main objective of this fieldwork is to support the collection of data for predictive caribou habitat mapping within the forested areas of the Taiga Plains and Taiga Shield Ecoregions in NWT, roughly south of Great Bear Lake. The research team will complete the establishment of a network of long-term study plots across a range of fire characteristics and vegetation types, where the team will me...

2016 Summary:
The objective is to determine the growth and recruitment responses of trees and shrubs to changing climate conditions near tree line and improve the understanding of the drivers of shrub patch expansion on the tundra.
Ten shrub patches were selected for measurement and paired permanent monitoring plots were established at each patch; one plot was centred on the patch of interest, the other on t...
