Objective(s): To measure plant species composition and cover in mesic, upland sites within subarctic forest, at treeline and in tundra to determine changes in plant community structure at the treeline ecotone; to determine locations for permanent plots to monitor long-term changes in plant communities in forest, treeline and tundra communities;
Project Description: 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.
