Objective(s): To document long-term recovery rates on permanent research plots that were established on a range of tundra disturbances; to interpret some of these data in terms of climate change hypothesis.
Project Description: The research will document long-term recovery rates on permanent research plots that were established on a range of tundra disturbances. In the 1970's disturbance surveys and experiments on a wide range of topics provided short-term results and predictions on recovery rates. This project will collect comparable data to validate these short term predictions and will also help to develop some ideas on vegetation response to climate change.
