Summary:
The research team will make short visits to many sites in order to observe how plants vary morphologically and genetically from site to site across the arctic region. They will visit Mould Bay on Prince Patrick Island, Warrington Bay and McCormick Inlet on Melville Island. At each site the researchers will make observations on the morphology, ecology, reproductive biology, and distribution of eac...

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...
