Studies of the Environmental Effects of Disturbances in the Subarctic.
Principal Investigator: Kershaw, G. Peter
Licensed Year(s): 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1990
Summary: The research is planned to see what happens after the surface of the land was changed by clearing of the trees and trenching of the soil in 1985 and 1986, and the spilling of crude-oil in 1988. Ways to fix or lessen these disturbances are being tested to see which are best. Many studies will be done, including measurement of air and soil temperatures, wind speed, moisture, water movement, permaf...

The Impacts of Muskoxen on a Hygric Sedge Meadow Plant Community, Northern Banks Island, N.W.T.
Principal Investigator: Romo, J.T.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The project examines the effects of a high-density muskoxen populations on a sedge meadow plant community. Two fences exist at the study site to exclude muskoxen and thus provide an ungrazed area used for comparison with the grazed area. Plant species abundance, plant height, grazing use of plant species and weight of plants are some of the data that will be compared among grazed and ungrazed are...
