Do diversity gradients and wildfires interact to facilitate tree range expansion across a broad latitudinal scale?
Principal Investigator: Reid, Kirsten
Licensed Year(s): 2019 2018
Summary: The overarching research goal of this project is to determine what conditions facilitate tree range expansion across the western Canadian boreal-tundra ecotone. Using a biogeographical, multi-trophic level approach, the research team aim to determine: 1. how multi-trophic level species composition changes across the tundra and which conditions dictate these changes; and, 2. the constraints, dri...


Vegetation, Forestry and Soils Surveys: Gwich'in Settlement Area
Principal Investigator: Bush, Dana
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The BC Terrestrial Ecosystem Mapping inventory standard will be used to provide a uniform method of describing vegetation, soil and terrain based on air photo interpretation and field data collection. The sites will be contained within a 1 km corridor with 'bulges' in areas of special concern such as river crossings. Surveying sites accessed by helicopter, boat, vehicle and/or on foot. To avoid c...


Summer 2001 Vegetation, Forestry and Soil surveys in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region: Biophysical Baseline Studies in support of the Mackenzie Delta Gas Feasibility Study.
Principal Investigator: Bush, Dana
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The proposed vegetation, forestry and soil survey program involves surveying sites accessed by helicopter and boat. Due to traditional hunting activities along the northern edge of the Mackenzie Delta, the vegetation, forestry and soil survey will avoid the northern end of Kendall and Richards Islands during the harvest period. If it is necessary to enter this area prior to this time (in the even...


Prescribed Fire and Wildlife Habitat Enhancement
Principal Investigator: De Groot, Bill
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: Plant samples will be collected in the field by the researcher after they become dormat for treatment in a lab experiment. Burning treatments will be conducted in the lab where environmental growing conditions and the plant physiological state at the time of the treatment can be better controled. This will be done in order to model the effects of fire on two types of shrubs....


Species Composition Changes Along a Gradient From Subarctic Forest to Tundra
Principal Investigator: Henry, Gregory
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1994 1993 1991
Summary: Using the latitudinal treeline, the Researchers will examine plant communities in forest, treeline and tundra communities. They will determine locations for permanent plots to monitor long-term changes in vegetation as a response to predicted global warming....


Digital Database of Vegetation Types of the Mackenzie Valley Development Corridor
Principal Investigator: Squires Taylor, Cindy
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: The Researcher will conduct a survey, approximately 30 km on either side of the Mackenzie River using satellite imagery. A classification will be undertaken of the area from the Mackenzie Delta to the Fort Simpson area, with wider zones along the east side to include proposed pipeline routes. The information can be plotted as colour maps to show the location of trap lines, forest fires or wildlife...
