Treeline Dynamics in the Western Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Green, Scott
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008
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....


Photosynthetic Efficiency and Water Relations in Boreal Conifers under 24 Hour Environmental Light Conditions
Principal Investigator: Johnston-Schuetz, Cheryl
Licensed Year(s): 2007
Summary: The objective of this project is to examine the environmental thresholds to the successful establishment of a boreal (high latitude) conifer forest by measuring photosynthetic rates in conifer seedlings. Climate change has the potential to shift southern commercial tree species and treelines northward with implications for existing ecosystems and future economic development. The project’s goal ...


Climatic Change at the Forest/Tundra Boundary
Principal Investigator: Landhaeusser, Simon M.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The Researcher and his team will seed and plant plots prepared in 1990. They will determine the germination rate, establishment and the annual growth of the seedlings. The measurements will be related to the energy input which influences these microsites....
