Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5608.
Objectives:
To investigate the relative invasibility of different regrowth stand types post-fire; and,
To complete river surveys of invasive plants downstream of Hay River and Fort Liard.
Burns: To assess the invasibility of different regrowth stand types, samples will be taken along transects running perpend...

Summary:
The objective is to quantify the amount of fuel combustion and carbon losses during wildfires in boreal conifer forests and peatlands. These data will allow us to quantify climatic and weather controls on the severity of biomass burning.
Boreal forests and peatlands store a large amount of carbon in vegetation and soils. Climate change is predicted to increase summer drought, which could mak...

Summary:
This project seeks to identify and measure specific characteristics of plants to determine the current baseline conditions of the vegetation, collect grass samples to test for different species of fungi and integrate traditional knowledge of environmental systems with current biological sampling.
Transects (a long straight line) will be measured out from the edge of a road to about 1 km away fr...

Summary:
Indigenous rare plants exist in the NWT, including in parts of the Mackenzie Mountains and the Beaufort Sea coast (especially in areas that were not glaciated). Alien species may be spreading along roads. There are 94 species of alien plants, transported to the territories by human activity.
Surveys pf alien and rare plants will be conducted along roads in the North, South Slave and DehCho reg...

Summary:
The objective is to obtain sufficient baseline data to develop a lead and zinc mine adjacent to the old Pine Point property. The owl survey to identify species presence and breeding territories in the vicinity of the study area will include an evening broadcast-call program that will commence 0.5 hours after sundown to 0.5 hours before sunrise in April and May. This owl survey will target the Bor...

Summary:
This project will assess the sulphur dioxide impacts of a natural gas well production test on vegetation in complex, steep terrain and establish a biomonitoring system for tracking changes in vegetation health in the vicinity of a natural gas well. Well...

Summary:
A pre-construction biophysical site assessment will focus on wildlife and vegetation. The proposed well-sites will be examined on foot, and the flowlines walked to document vegetation types, including rare species if present. Main vegetation types will b...

Summary:
This research will contribute to an increased understanding of ecological integrity in Nahanni National Park, provide information on the importance of glacial refugia as banks of genetic diversity and highlight the value of genetic diversity as an indicator of ecological integrity. The researcher will be transported to sampling sites within the park by Parks Canada staff (plane, helicopter). At...

Summary:
The objective of the study is to determine the presence or absence of fish habitat and wildlife in the vicinity of the proposed project. A literature search for registered archaeological sites within the project area has been started. A helicopter will be used to access the four well sites and the proposed access routes. The development area will be surveyed by foot. All wildlife observations (ma...
