Published purpose
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.
