| Summary | Wildfire and permafrost thaw are disturbances that can cooccur on the landscape and are becoming more common in the NWT due to climate change. This project looked at how wildfire and permafrost thaw are impacting the recovery of vegetation important to boreal caribou in southern NWT. We found that recovery of different types of vegetation is sensitive to many environmental factors, including time since fire, soil moisture, and the presence of permafrost. |
| Local Relevance | This projects investigates how caribou in southern NWT may be affected by climate change impacts. |
