20072006 Summary:
Despite the recognition of the ecological benefits carried by the use of native plant seeds in reclamation, there is still no commercial source of plant materials native to the NWT or Canada’s north. Even finding southern cultivars of local species is a significant challenge. In response to this, Aurora Research Institute (ARI) initiated the NWT Native Seed Development Program, its objective being...

The objective of this sub-project are:
1) to continue assessing the performance of native plants which were seeded and transplanted into field plots in 2006 and 2007; and,
2) to establish two new field plots at the Inuvik golf course with the same intent of monitoring native seed performance in a disturbed habitat.
The research team intend to collect data regarding winter survival, seedling e...

The overall research goal is to determine appropriate methods to restore disturbed sites at Diavik Diamond Mine to productive and sustainable tundra communities following mine closure. There are three main research areas 1) building suitable reclamation substrates for plant establishment and growth, 2) methods of collection and propagation of locally common native plant and lichen species, and 3) ...
