Objective(s): To determine whether floristic composition, standing crop and net production differs in high arctic sedge meadows with contrasting microclimates and grazing regimes; to determine how competition among the major sedge species is affected by variations in climate and grazing pressure;
Project Description: The Researcher and his team will work at four sites across central Ellesmere Island. They will establish automatic climate stations at each site and take measurements of the soils and vegetation.
