Principal Investigator: Darnell, David M.
Licensed Year(s): 2009
Summary: This licence is being issued for the scientific research application No.1095. The objective of this research is to obtain specimens of the major plant species comprising the plant communities found in the northwestern Northwest Territories, especially those riparian ones not found in the adjacent Yukon Territory. The researchers will employ standard botanical field techniques and equipment...

Principal Investigator: Gillespie, Lynn J.
Licensed Year(s): 1997 1995 1994
Summary: We plan to collect living plants, 6-10 plants of each species from each collection site. In addition, several plants of each species will be pressed and dried as voucher specimens to be used to check the identification. Photographs of the plants and their habitats will be made in the field and will be used for both research and teaching purposes. Upon our return to Ottawa the plant material wil...

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: Comtois, Paul
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researcher will study the behavior of pollinating insects (bees) in ecosystems dominated by plants of the blueberry family (Ericacees). They will investigate competition between flowering plants syncronized for the same insect pollinators. Most of their work will be conducted on Herschel Island. Minimal study will be conducted near Tuktoyaktuk near their base camp at Polar Continental Shelf Pr...

Principal Investigator: Vardy, Catherine
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher will survey growth forms at two sites: one highly disturbed (i.e. a roadside) and one undisturbed site ( i.e. a field). The plants will be measured and a shoot removed from approximately 20-100 plants. Seeds will be collected....

Principal Investigator: Ritchie, J.C.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: April - to take 5 cm diamete rcores of unconsolidated lake mud from 6 small lakes; July - to conduct a survey of the vegetation surrounding the lakes sampled in the above winter coring operation....

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....

Principal Investigator: Bliss, Lawrence
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: Life history study of the grasses Phippsia algida and Puccinellia vaginata. To compare plant growth forms of these two grasses in low and high Arctic conditions....

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: Yoshie, Fumio
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To undertake a study of the tundra biomass (general vegetation) as part of a larger study on permafrost....
