Post-fire decomposition of woody material and post-fire habitat structures in the western Canadian boreal forest.
Principal Investigator: Sander, Barbara
Licensed Year(s): 1997
Summary: Burned areas of different ages have been identified from fire-history maps and data bases provided by the Forest Management Division of the NWT in Fort Smith. Chosen fires are located along the Highways 1, 2 and 5. Access and transportation will therefore be by car/truck. The exact location of the sites will be documented by using GPS-equipment. A total of three sites (Jack Pine, Black Spruce ...


Prescribed Fire and Wildlife Habitat Enhancement
Principal Investigator: De Groot, Bill
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: Plant samples will be collected in the field by the researcher after they become dormat for treatment in a lab experiment. Burning treatments will be conducted in the lab where environmental growing conditions and the plant physiological state at the time of the treatment can be better controled. This will be done in order to model the effects of fire on two types of shrubs....


Fire, carbon budget and climate change
Principal Investigator: Wein, Ross
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The research team will be examining areas of permafrost south of Inuvik and near Hay River in order to assess the rate of loss of permafrost as a result of the warming in climate over the past twenty years. The loss in permafrost may be speeded up following a local fire. The wetlands that replace these areas of permafrost could lead to a greater production of methane (one of the gases that contr...


Forest Fire Research
Principal Investigator: Maffey, Murray
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: This ongoing project has several activities associated with the study of fire ecology in the N.W.T.. The researchers are involved with the collection of data at a prescribed burn site located at Little Rat Lake (Hook Lake) near Ft. Resolution. They are also participating in the fire history study in the Mackenzie Bison Sanctuary. Finally, crew leaders from the Ft. Simpson initial attack teams w...


A Northern Forest Ecosystem Simulation Model of Early Post-Fire Tree Seedling Establishment, Growth and Competition
Principal Investigator: Gal, Ruth Ann
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: The researcher and her team will glean physiological rates and relationships for tree growth from the literature and substitute the data into a functional model, which will be calibrated against intensive sampling within WBNP over dry, mesic and wet landscapes....


Management Implications of Integrating Public Consultation and Prioritized Values-at-Risk in NWT Forest Fire Management Policy
Principal Investigator: Clark, Kim
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researcher will conduct interviews with individuals and agencies. Questions will be designed to solicit individual and community definition and prioritization of resources (values-at-risk) endangered by forest fire....


Digital Database of Vegetation Types of the Mackenzie Valley Development Corridor
Principal Investigator: Squires Taylor, Cindy
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: The Researcher will conduct a survey, approximately 30 km on either side of the Mackenzie River using satellite imagery. A classification will be undertaken of the area from the Mackenzie Delta to the Fort Simpson area, with wider zones along the east side to include proposed pipeline routes. The information can be plotted as colour maps to show the location of trap lines, forest fires or wildlife...
