NWT RESEARCH DATABASE

Principal Investigator: Meier, Sharon
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Researcher will continue to study plant-insect relationships and factors which play determining roles in the lives of organisms inhabiting the Arctic environment....

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...

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: Kershaw, G. Peter
Licensed Year(s): 1989 1988 1987
Summary: To continue the study initiated in 1984 by conducting gemorphological, microclimatological, pedological, hydrological, botanical and small mammal studies on the site....

Principal Investigator: Pearce, Cheryl M.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: To investigate the spatial and temporal relationships between plant species distribution and beach age on Truelove Lowland, Devon Island. To measure plant composition and spatial variability on different sites on a raised beach and on raised beaches of different ages from the most recent to the oldest and (2) to correlate vegetation parameters with site factors such as soil texture, macro-nutrien...

Principal Investigator: Marvin, LuDean
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To re-define the classification of the Potentilla nivea L. complex using methods based on modern plant systematics. Some of the techniques and methods to be used will include chromosome counts, pollen and seed viability tests, guard cell measurements, SEM of pollin exine variations, flavonoid chemistry and numerical analyses. Attempts will be made to determine if correlations exist between morph...

Principal Investigator: Perkins, Robert F.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: A field study project to take notes on, and pictures of, a variety of flowering plants in the area of the Back River....

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

Principal Investigator: Hudson, Jr., W.D.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To collect and sample living specimens of reproducing Saxifraga stellaris var. stellaris and the asexually reporoducing S. stellaris var. comosa. Material for anatomical and morphological study will also be collected and preserved. Information provided by field study and subsequent laboratory study will help to further elucidate the origin of the peculiar form of asexual reproduction exhibited b...

Principal Investigator: Butler, R.W.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To travel on foot along the Canol Road and incorporate examinations and descriptions of local plant and wildlife species, geomorphological and geological phenomenon and historical data into one report....
