Summary: The primary objective of this project is to conduct initial greenhouse and field trials in propagating seed from native plant species. This will allow the researchers to measure the growth and productivity of a number of different plant species and evaluate their potential as species for reclamation in the Inuvik region. The project activities include germination, growth and field trials for tw...

Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: Eleven plant species of national significance are found in the Mackenzie Delta. Following a preliminary classification using satellite images, the presence or absence of these species within sample areas will be determined during field surveys. After field data are collected, a more refined landscape classification model will be produced. To refine and test this model, 30 sites per vegetation com...

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 ...

Principal Investigator: Marvin, LuDean
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To re-define the classification of the Potentilla nivea L. complex using methods based on modern plant systematics. Some of the techniques and methods to be used will include chromosome counts, pollen and seed viability tests, guard cell measurements, SEM of pollin exine variations, flavonoid chemistry and numerical analyses. Attempts will be made to determine if correlations exist between morph...

Summary: To collect plant specimens which will be deposited in the herbarium of the Botany Department of Brandon University....

Principal Investigator: Timoney, Kevin, P.
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: Field sampling coupled with air photo interpretation are used to describe vegetation zonation. Objectives include: a) a delimitation of the subarctic forest-tundra ecotone; b) geographic variation in the vegetation, sorts, species ranges, and width and position of the forest-tundra....

Licensed Year(s): 1982
Summary: To analyze changes in the modern and fossil pollen assemblages of the Central Canadian Arctic through the collection and analysis of modern moss samples and peat and lake sections....

Summary: To continue a study of the genus BRAYA CRUCIFERAE (a small plant in the mustard family)...

Principal Investigator: Cody, W.J.
Licensed Year(s): 1982
Summary: To gather specimens of plants, fungi (mushrooms) and insects to be preserved and retained in museums for future study and taxonomy (plant classification)....

Principal Investigator: Harris, James
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: To undertake a comprehensive study of the genus Braya (cruciferae) (a small plant in the mustard family) which will result In a more comprehensive classification system being established....
