Title:
Tree-rings to unravel the fate of boreal trees to rapid climate changes
Agreement Number:
FEL-2324-0004
Agreement Value:
$50,000.00
Agreement Date:
Apr 1, 2023 - Mar 31, 2024
Description:
This project proposes to study how the combined effects of warming temperatures and permafrost thaw affect the growth of dominant boreal trees in northern Canada. Trees capture a record of their environmental conditions and growth responses in their annual rings. By measuring tree-rings, we can infer mechanisms driving growth changes. The project will combine coupled time series of climate, tree-ring growth, and permafrost thaw from a unique set of permafrost monitoring sites across a latitudinal gradient in the Mackenzie Valley River, Canada.

Program:
Polar Knowledge Application Program
Program Purpose:
This Program aims to lead the mobilization of polar science and technology into action. CHARS will "analyse and disseminate polar knowledge from its Science and Technology Program, as well as that from current federal, territorial and other stakeholders, and investments to inform management, programming and policies; promote Artic science and technology nationally and internationally; and build capacity through training, outreach, and learning opportunities. This will ensure polar knowledge is relevant to stakeholders and builds a science culture in Canada.
