Summary: The objective is to determine the growth and recruitment responses of trees and shrubs to changing climate conditions near tree line and improve the understanding of the drivers of shrub patch expansion on the tundra. Ten shrub patches were selected for measurement and paired permanent monitoring plots were established at each patch; one plot was centred on the patch of interest, the other on t...

Summary: “Environmental Studies across Treeline (ESAT) in the Mackenzie Delta region” is a northern based collaborative program with an objective to enhance the understanding of environmental conditions in the Mackenzie Delta region through scientific studies and monitoring. Specific studies include: 1) monitoring permafrost conditions in the Mackenzie Delta region; 2) examining freeze-back of the active l...

Principal Investigator: Henry, Greg H R
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008
Summary: This license has been issued for the scientific research application #868. The objectives of this research are to determine what changes have occurred in spruce trees near the treeline in response to the warming climate of the Mackenzie Delta region over the past 20-50 years. The researchers will visit sites measured in the early 1990s and repeat the same measurements, which will allow them to ...

Principal Investigator: Pearce, Cheryl M.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The researcher will complete the intensive sampling of the Arctic Coastal Plain west of Shallow Bay on the Mackenzie River Delta to the Alaska border, where tundra surfaces could differ from those east of the Mackenzie Delta, high arctic tundra on northern Cape Bathurst, and additional treeline sites between Inuvik and the Horton River....

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....

Principal Investigator: Luckman, B.H.
Licensed Year(s): 1989
Summary: Dr. Luckman and one assistant will look for potential sites for the Geological Survey of Canada to study global change. They will also obtain recent tree-ring chronologies from treeline sites in the Mackenzie Delta....
