Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5263.
The aim is to monitor vegetation changes in current climate warming for simulating past and future dynamics with an individual-based spatially explicit model. Therefore, the intentions are: 1) assessing stand inventories at diverse bioclimatic and environmental settings by a space-for-time approach; 2) gathering remot...

Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5246.
The main goal of the project is to understand which mechanisms are controlling soil nutrient cycling and soil-plant interactions across both permafrost thaw gradients and vegetation types. The research team are mainly interested in nutrient cycling processes and priming, as well as how microbial community composition ...

This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4934.
The purpose of this study is to develop a method of characterizing the sensitivity and response of streams and rivers to regional variability in permafrost thaw in the Beaufort Delta Region, Western Canadian Arctic.
All of the field team members are from within the NWT. This field program will follow the attached E...

Summary:
The three objectives of this project are to:
1) document baseline conditions of vegetation communities and rare plant species present at the High Point site;
2) evaluate potential Project-related effects on rare plants, traditional use plants and vegetation communities within the High Point site; and,
3) develop mitigation measures to minimize or eliminate potential Project-related effects to ...

The objective of this sub-project is to continue assessing the performance of native plants which were seeded and transplanted into field plots in 2006 and 2007. The research team intend to collect data regarding winter survival, seedling emergence, and overall plant vigor and productivity in order to assess each species' and collection's suitability for use in land reclamation in the NWT.
The ...

2012 Summary:
This project has three main objectives:
Objective 1: To use satellite imagery (Landsat, QuickBird, InSAR, etc.) to document the rate and extent of landscape change (slumps, subsidence, vegetation change, etc.) in the northern Mackenzie Basin.
To quantify landscape disturbances and vegetation regeneration patterns since 1985 Landsat satellite images will be obtained that will provide reflec...

Summary:
The purpose of this three-year project is to identify the factors that promote or retard forest regrowth after seismic line cutting. Oil and gas development in the Mackenzie Valley has the potential to heavily impact the region's slow-growing forests....

Summary:
The long distance dispersal of tree pollen and seeds is of considerable interest as we ask how fast plants can migrate in response to rapid climate change. Examination of seed dispersal will actually be based on looking at germinants (rather than seeds)...
