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...

20082005 Summary:
The objectives of this research are to:
1. Native shrub establishment: Determine the effect of season of seeding/planting on shrub establishment and survival.
2. Effect of microtopography: Determine the effect of microsites (boulders, rocks, soil mounds and pockets) on plant emergence and establishment, as well as how they influence soil structure.
3. Effect of stockpiled topsoil: Investigate t...

1995 Summary:
As part of overall reclamation goals of BHP, the 1996 season will focus on three components. Vegetation response will be assessed in August using the point-frame method. Within the legume, indigenous seed and shrub cutting plots, plant density will be recorded. Soil samples in replicates of three will be collected from each treatment to analyze physical and chemical characteristics. Secondly, ...
