2006 Summary:
The main objective of the 2007 field work is to collect data in jack pine forests on annual movement of organic matter and carbon. For this purpose, the researchers will continue measurement of the growth of fine roots and amount of aboveground forest litter, in addition to take re-measurement of tree size and number in study plots to assess the growth of the trees since 2002. Additional objecti...

Summary:
Eleven plant species of national significance are found in the Mackenzie Delta. Following a preliminary classification using satellite images, the presence or absence of these species within sample areas will be determined during field surveys. After field data are collected, a more refined landscape classification model will be produced. To refine and test this model, 30 sites per vegetation com...
