Principal Investigator: Quinlan, Allyson
Licensed Year(s): 1998
Summary: The principle researcher and one (or two) field assistants will be flown into Hook Lake base camp by either helicopter or fixed wing aircraft (transportation and field support confirmed by Renewable Resources, NWT). Temporary vegetation (herbaceous) transects will be established on the following prairies in the Hook Lake area: Dan's Prairie, North Prairie, Paul's Prairie, Ann's Prairie, Hook Lake ...

Principal Investigator: Henry, Gregory
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Researchers will continue to investigate how high arctic sedge meadows respond to microclimate and grazing....

Principal Investigator: Gould, William
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The Researcher will collect lichens at approximately twenty sites along the Hood, Mara and Burnside Rivers. The macrolichen collection will be carried out to add to the understanding of the distribution of lichens in the Arctic....

Principal Investigator: Roy, Alain P.
Licensed Year(s): 1990 1989
Summary: Mr. Roy will carry out field work in the MacKenzie Mountains, Macmillan Pass and Tungsten areas. At each site he will examine the vegetation and the soil. Dryas specimens will be collected. he will examine other plants of the community and a small soil sample approximately 200 grams will be taken....

Principal Investigator: Pearce, Cheryl M.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: Dr. Pearce and her associate are returning to Truelove Lowland to evaluate an idea that plant associations growing on raised beaches of different ages are a result of the type of soil and water conditions they are growing on rather than the amount of time that they have had to live there....

Principal Investigator: Henry, Gregory H.R.
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: Some Arctic plants are found in almost every type of habitat, from wet meadows to dry gravel areas. Dr. Henry, Dr. Zilder and several students are looking at these plants to see how that is possible....

Principal Investigator: MacDonald, Glen M
Licensed Year(s): 1989 1988
Summary: to obtain lake sediment cores, samples of pine needles, cones and seeds, and tree-ring cores from 10 sites along the Mackenzie River between Norman Wells and Fort Simpson in order to document the chronology of pine migration into the Mackenzie Valley following the last ice-age and to test hypotheses regarding postglacial history of northern plants and distributions of genetic diversity...

Principal Investigator: Kershaw, Linda J.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To compile distributional data for plants growing within the Dempster Highway Corridor and to complete a photographic collection of the species present. To complete a pictorial (flora) of the Dempster Highway and to provide information about the ecosystems along the route and the natural history of major physiographic regions. Final report will be a book....

Principal Investigator: Pearce, Cheryl M.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To analyze the environmental processes that control plant distribution and succession on shorelines of the Mackenzie Delta. Specific objectives of the research are to examine (1) the colonization and establishment on exposed mudflats and other newly-available sites, (2) the responses of the shoreline plants to fluctuations in the biophysical environment, and (3) the chemical and physical properti...

Principal Investigator: Bliss, Lawrence
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To continue ecological research related to botanical resources....
