2015 Summary:
The aim of this project is to study the short term and long term effects of different fire intensities on the decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) in northern boreal forests under changing fire regimes.
The objectives are to: 1) explore the short and long term effects of forest fires with different intensity on above- and belowground biomasses; 2) explore changes in albedo, snow depths an...

Summary:
Transport of the research team to sites will be by truck, contingent on road access. Tent camps will be established for housing in the field. The camp will consist of 2 researchers, for the months of August and September, with possible sporadic visits by other researchers throughout the summer. Field activities will involve examining and documenting lead-zinc occurences, and collecting lead-zi...
