This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4705.
The Mackenzie River Basin (MRB) is one of the largest cold-water, intact boreal ecosystems in the world and has unique Earth-system’s processes associated with sea ice formation, global circulation of deep ocean currents, carbon storage, and biogeochemical cycling. This unique global resource is also critical for supp...

Summary:
The objective of this project is to evaluate bryophytes regeneration in Northwest Territories burned peatlands to improve the understanding of the structure of mosses ecosystems. This new knowledge should improve the restoration method of disturbed peatlands where the reintroduction and regeneration mosses are problematic.
Several sites will be studied in order to have a range of plant communit...

The Fort Simpson region has a high density of open water and wetlands that occupies the zone of discontinuous permafrost. Discontinuous permafrost terrain is particularly sensitive to the effects of climatic warming because pronounced changes in water storage and runoff pathways could occur with small additional ground heating. The major peatland types of this region include channel fens, flat bog...
