Monitoring forest structure and treeline change drivers
Principal Investigator: Kruse, Stefan
Licensed Year(s): 2022
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...


Effects of permafrost thaw on soil processes and soil-plant interactions
Principal Investigator: Richter, Andreas
Licensed Year(s): 2022
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 ...


Characterizing the sensitivity and response of freshwater systems to permafrost thaw in the Western Canadian arctic
Principal Investigator: Hille, Erika C
Licensed Year(s): 2021 2021 2020 2019 2018
Summary: 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...


Inuvik High Point Wind Project - Vegetation and Rare Plant Survey
Principal Investigator: Sullivan, Grant
Licensed Year(s): 2018
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 ...


Northern Native Seed Development Field Trials
Principal Investigator: Trimble, Annika EV
Licensed Year(s): 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2007 2006
Summary: 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 ...


A Multi-scale Assessment of Cumulative Impacts in the Northern Mackenzie Basin
Principal Investigator: Lantz, Trevor C.
Licensed Year(s): 2016 2015 2014 2013 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...


2005 Route and Site Reconnaissance in the Gwich’in Settlement Area
Principal Investigator: Povey, Andrew
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004 2003 2002
Summary: The route and site reconnaissance activities will be used to: review the proposed location for a potential pipeline route through the Gwich’in Settlement Area (GSA); revisit or determine the optimal locations for proposed gas compression facilities near Inuvik; revisit or determine the optimal locations for infrastructure sites, roads, granular resource sites and potential revegetation test sites;...


Tree Regeneration on Seismic Lines
Principal Investigator: Greene, David F
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004
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....


Dispersal of white spruce seeds and pollen/understory scarification in a mast year
Principal Investigator: Greene, David F
Licensed Year(s): 2002
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)...


Forestry Research Projects in the Gwich'in Settlement Area: Seismic Line Revegetation in the Gwich'in Settlement Area (GSA)
Principal Investigator: Van Gerwen-Toyne, Melanie
Licensed Year(s): 2003 2002 2001 2000
Summary: Baseline data on the rate of tree growth (productivity) and time required for trees to re-establish (regeneration) following fires and anthropogenic disturbances are required to determine forest sustainability and understand how habitat changes over time...
