rangechange.ca - RANGE CHANGE – Investigating the causes and effects of vegetation change in the Bathurst caribou herd's range

Example domain paragraphs

Use data gathered from MODIS satellite sensors to determine where and how much the Arctic is greening or browning. Overall, as the Arctic warms it seems to be greening, meaning vegetation growth is increasing.

Take samples from trees and shrubs in areas identified from the satellite data as greening and from areas that are not demonstrating any change in vegetation growth. This will help us determine what greening actually means on the ground. Which species are benefiting most from the warming?

By looking at caribou populations and movements and combining that with our information on the growth of different vegetation, we can discover how these vegetation changes are affecting the caribou.
