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...

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...

Summary: To conduct a survey of the vegetation in the Mackenzie Delta and relate the different types of vegetation to the seasonal flood levels....

Principal Investigator: Smith, D.W.
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To collect small quantities of soil and vegetation from samples plots which are located close to selected well sites including Gulf Oil, SIKU E-21 and Gulf Oil, Parsons D-20. This work is part of a long study on the biological effects of waste spillage from oil drilling....

Principal Investigator: Hastings, Ross
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To study the area to determine how the climate affects the vegetation and how the vegetation in turn encourages certain types of small animal habitation....

Principal Investigator: Smith, D.W.
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: To document changes to the vegetation and soil caused by drilling operations and support operations (e.g. air strips and roads). To identify the agent or substance of these changes (e.g. drilling muds and vehicles). To document how the vegetation and soil have recovered....

Principal Investigator: Smith, D.W.
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: As part of a continuing study to assess biological changes to the terrain as a result of disturbances caused by drilling projects to: (1) revisit two oil well sites to collect samples of soil and plants; (2) revisit 3 or 4 oil well sites to collect samples of soil and plants....
