Objectif(s): To confirm that Arctic plants have low rates of nitrate reductase activity by surveying tissues in situ; to determine if relationships exist between rates of respiration, photosynthesis and nitrogen reduction in these plants;

Description du projet: The Researcher and team will continue to collect information about repiration rates and growth rates in Arctic plants. They will confirm that Arctic plants have low rates of nitrate reductase activity and will determine if relationships exist between rates of respiration, photosynthesis and nitrogen reduction in these plants.
