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. 5902. This project has two main objectives: 1) To monitor the recovery of NWT forests following wildfire to better understand post-fire changes on forest composition and ground vegetation 2) To develop baseline information about proposed forest management areas to support assessment of harvesting impacts on these areas...


Carbon sequestration in boreal forests during regeneration process after forest fire disturbances.
Principal Investigator: Matsuura, Yojiro
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5340. Main objective of the project is to re-start and maintain study sites after two growing season without any census and sample collections. The research team will also establish additional study sites for regeneration process and soil condition monitoring (detection of permafrost table depth). The team will try again to...


Short and long term effects of forest fires on the stability of carbon pools in the arctic permafrost and subarctic forests (ARCTICFIRE)
Principal Investigator: Koster, Kajar
Licensed Year(s): 2018 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...


Physical properties of dead and downed round-wood in the boreal forests of Western Canada
Principal Investigator: Wein, Ross
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: Accurate estimates of the bulk density or specific gravity, tilt angle and average diameter of various size classes must be established. This study focuses on collection and validation of these estimates, recognizing that they may indeed change, dependin...


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....
