Summary:
The purpose of this study is to re-measure the occurrences of vegetation, identifying all the different species and measuring them quantitatively in places that were measured 13 years ago. The focus this time will be on the ability of the tundra ecosystem to recover when a strong chemical stress ceases. The team will be flown in early August from Inuvik to the old DEW Line landing strip at Mallo...
