Impacts of permafrost thaw on land cover and downstream water quality
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...

Tundra shrub response to climate change-exacerbated disturbances
Principal Investigator: Baltzer, Jennifer L
Licensed Year(s): 2023
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...

Impacts of wildfire and forest management on permafrost conditions and post-fire regeneration
Principal Investigator: Baltzer, Jennifer L
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019
Summary: The primary objective is to better understand the impact of disturbance on forest regeneration in the NWT. To this end, the team aim to evaluate the direct impacts of both forest harvesting and wildfire on tree regeneration the interaction of these two disturbances with permafrost thaw. The research team will establish new monitoring sites in the proposed Forest Management Areas and adjacent un...

Drivers and consequences of shrub distribution on the tundra landscape
Principal Investigator: Baltzer, Jennifer L
Licensed Year(s): 2017 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 our understanding of the drivers of shrub patch expansion on the tundra. Understanding the drivers of shrub distribution and shrub patch expansion on the tundra: Ten shrub patches were selected for measurement and paired permanent monitoring plots wer...

Impacts of wildfire extent and severity on caribou habitat
Principal Investigator: Baltzer, Jennifer L
Licensed Year(s): 2018 2017 2016
Summary: The objective is to improve the empirical foundations 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. A network of long-term study plots will be established across a range of fire characteristics and vegetation types, where the research team will measure the rate and direction of forest and c...
