Principal Investigator: Kruse, Stefan
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5947. The aim is to monitor vegetation changes in current climate warming for simulating past and future dynamics with an individual-based spatially explicit model (LAVESI). Therefore, our intentions are: 1. assessing stand inventories at diverse bioclimatic and environmental settings by a space-for-time approach 2. gat...

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: Olsen, Sue K.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The experiment will determine the interacting effects of fire severity, soil moisture and air temperature treatments on the emergence, winter survival and initial growth of treeline and near treeline tree species. The availability and viability of tree seed for successful regeneration of the treeline and near-treeline tree species will also be determined....

Principal Investigator: Landhaeusser, Simon M.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: To determine the maximum size of treeline tree species in a burned and unburned valley in the Caribou Hills, the mass of standing trees on different slopes and aspects will be estimated and related to the energy input. In 1992 the plots prepared in 1990 and planted and seeded in 1991, will be revisited and measurement of growth for the second growing season will be taken....

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....
