Summary: Forest Fire Effects on Vegetation and Wildlife Habitat use: Research sites will be accessed by helicopter. Sites are located in burns of different ages. In the summer, small teams will complete vegetation plots, assess species composition and percent cover, and assess wildlife abundance. In the winter, helicopter track surveys will be completed. Forest Monitoring (ARNEWS and SI/MAB plots): The...

Licensed Year(s): 1998
Summary: This project will take place in Tuktuk Nogait National Park in 1998 and 1999. The objective of the project is to map the vegetation of the park. As many areas of the Park as possible will be hiked and the various vegetation communities along the hiking route will be put into one of several classes, and their exact geographical location recorded. Once the field season is over, these various geograp...

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: Witteman, John
Licensed Year(s): 1996 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, ...

Principal Investigator: Hermanutz, Luise
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The researcher will investigate the factors that govern the growth and reproduction of 2 types of willow on Baffin Island. She will compare the numbers of seeds each species produces and attempt to determine how successful male clones are in producing offspring....

Principal Investigator: Cummins, W. Raymond
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990 1989
Summary: Professor Cummins and his team will estimate potential productivity of plants in northern ecosystems and will investigate further the exceptionally high rate of respiration and alternative pathway respiration which they have discovered in arctic plants. They will use nitrate and ammonium electrodes to survey the levels of available nitrogen in wet and dry meadows on Devon...
