Summary:
A pre-construction biophysical site assessment will focus on wildlife and vegetation. The proposed well-sites will be examined on foot, and the flowlines walked to document vegetation types, including rare species if present. Main vegetation types will b...

1999 Summary:
The research team will be based in Tuktoyaktuk, and travel by scheduled flight from Inuvik. No field camps will be used, and all transport in the field will be on foot. Data will be collected primarily through photographic documentation of both the plants of interest, and the typical environments in which these plants are found. A single voucher specimen of each plant photographed will be mainta...

Summary:
This research will contribute to an increased understanding of ecological integrity in Nahanni National Park, provide information on the importance of glacial refugia as banks of genetic diversity and highlight the value of genetic diversity as an indicator of ecological integrity. The researcher will be transported to sampling sites within the park by Parks Canada staff (plane, helicopter). At...

Summary:
Vegetation communities along the pipeline route and over other parts of the Project area would be provisionally mapped from aerial photographs. A field survey would be undertaken with an emphasis on identifying rare plants. The study area is in the Caribou Hills IBP site 4-9, which was in part proposed because of its rare flora. July is an optimum time for a single survey. Also transect sampling ...

19951994 Summary:
We plan to collect living plants, 6-10 plants of each species from each collection site. In addition, several plants of each species will be pressed and dried as voucher specimens to be used to check the identification. Photographs of the plants and their habitats will be made in the field and will be used for both research and teaching purposes. Upon our return to Ottawa the plant material wil...

1996
Summary:
The study area will be sampled on a 2x2 km grid as the vegetation type of the area in question is predominantly jack pine. At each 2 km interval 3 procedures are done: 1) plant identification and % cover of each species in approx. 100 m. sq., 2) tally of the fuels (logs, twigs, branches) that fall along a triangular transect, 3) discs are removed from one large unscarred tree and one scarred tree...

199419931991 Summary:
The researchers will measure various parts of the trees and take seed samples found on tree islands. They will take small cores from the base of the largest stems to determine age and growth rates. The tree rings can show how well the tress were growing in the past, and this can be related to changes in the climate....
