Muskoxen-sedge meadow interactions
Principal Investigator: Smith, David L.
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: This study will address the impact that muskoxen are having on sedge meadows (the habitat that is important for their survival in the Thomsen River valley). In this study, I will examine the response of sedge meadow plants to the effects of grazing by muskoxen. I will monitoring the growth and chemical makeup of plants in 3 situations: (1) unprotected plots subject to muskoxen grazing; (2) artif...


The Impacts of Muskoxen on a Hygric Sedge Meadow Plant Community, Northern Banks Island, N.W.T.
Principal Investigator: Romo, J.T.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The project examines the effects of a high-density muskoxen populations on a sedge meadow plant community. Two fences exist at the study site to exclude muskoxen and thus provide an ungrazed area used for comparison with the grazed area. Plant species abundance, plant height, grazing use of plant species and weight of plants are some of the data that will be compared among grazed and ungrazed are...


Effect of Muskox Grazing On Arctic Range Vegetation
Principal Investigator: Harmsen, R.
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Researcher and team will continue to study the relationship between muskoxen and the plants they eat. Since 1987 the effect of muskox grazing on arctic vetch plants has been studied. Investigations of a large number of vetch plants will include calculations on mortality rates, growth rates and renewal through seed....
