Impact of wildfire and forest management on permafrost and post-fire regeneration
Principal Investigator: Baltzer, Jennifer L
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5543. This projects two main objectives are to monitor the recovery of NWT forests following wildfire to better understand post-fire changes on forest composition and ground vegetation and to develop baseline information about proposed forest management areas to support assessment of harvesting impacts on these areas. T...


Effects of wildfire on biomass combustion in boreal peatlands and forests
Principal Investigator: Turetsky, Merritt R.
Licensed Year(s): 2011
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...
