Summary:
The research objective is to show that the fertility of black spruce (Picea mariana) in the Arctic is limited by the amount of pollen in the surrounding air.
After snowmelt, the researchers will choose unburned black spruce “islands” at different distances from the perimeter of the 1999 Lynx Creek fire. Subsequently, as the developing black spruce pollen cones become easy to see, they will remo...

Summary:
This licence was issued for the application # 836.
The project will examine past tree growth patterns at the northern treeline in Western Canada as a baseline to predict future growth responses to climate change. Additionally, the researchers will examine tree regeneration and plant associations at the northern treeline.
Growth-ring analyses will be conducted in mature treeline populations....

Baseline data on the rate at which trees grow (productivity) and the time required for trees to re-establish (regeneration) following fires and human disturbances are required to determine forest sustainability and to understand how habitat changes over...

Summary:
Forestry researchers tend to study in detail their local forests yet for major issues such as global warming, it is necessary to conduct research over larger areas to understand impacts on Canadian forests and industry. This study attempts to better describe rates of decomposition and nutrient mineralization across Canadian forests in order to understand how forests are supplied with nutrients fo...
