Past climates of ancient forests on Banks Island
Principal Investigator: Williams, Christopher J
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2003
Summary: The objective of this project is to make detailed measurements of fossil plants that grew at high latitudes between 12 and 2 million years ago. The researchers will use these and previously obtained data to test the hypothesis that until about 28 million years ago arctic wetland forests were high biomass forests dominated by deciduous conifers, but by 12 million years aga, these were replaced by ...

Changes in plant communities from subarctic forest to tundra
Principal Investigator: Henry, Gregory H.R.
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1994 1993 1991
Summary: This study continues from the research conducted in 1991 where we examined the plant community and assessed plant distribution as the subarctic forest changes to tundra. We are interested in how the smaller plant species are influenced by changes in the number of trees that are nearby as well as changes in climate. Permanent plots will be established in order to monitor any changes in the plant ...

Stability of the arctic tree-line: a test for the greenhouse effect
Principal Investigator: Nichols, Harvey
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: Tree-line plant species are sensitive to changes in climate. Most trees growing in the tree-line reproduce by `layering' which means that they do not produce seeds but instead the tree limbs of individual trees produce roots to generate another `tree'. Seeds can only be produced when the summer climate is warm enough. By monitor- ing the reproduction of trees in the tree-line, information can be...
