Treeline Dynamics in Western Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Green, Scott
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008
Summary: The project will examine past tree growth patterns at the northern treeline in Western Canada as a baseline to predict future growth responses to climate change. Additionally, the researchers will examine tree regeneration and plant associations at the northern treeline. Annual tree rings represent a growth response to local climate. Wide growth rings represent good growing conditions, and nar...

Arctic timberline ecology
Principal Investigator: Broll, Gabriele
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: As part of his trip to Inuvik with the International Tour of Permafrost Affected Soils, the researcher will record information about the ecology (including local climate conditions, soil conditions and plant communities) of the timberline at selected sites visited during the Tour. These sites are located along the Dempster Highway near Inuvik....

Climatic Change at the Forest/Tundra Boundary
Principal Investigator: Landhaeusser, Simon M.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The Researcher and his team will seed and plant plots prepared in 1990. They will determine the germination rate, establishment and the annual growth of the seedlings. The measurements will be related to the energy input which influences these microsites....

Postglacial Treeline Change in the Mackenzie-Selwyn Mountains
Principal Investigator: MacDonald, Glen M
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1990
Summary: Dr. Glen MacDonald and his team will collect lake sediment core samples from 3 or 4 small lakes in the Mackenzie Mountains, adjacent to the Canol Road for the purpose of fossil pollen and macrofossil analysis. The area will be revisited in July to conduct surveys of vegetation at and around the treeline....
