Research[edit]
The Soper River region's plants have not been studied or inventoried since the 1920s.[2][3] In June 2012, four Canadian botanists, from the National Herbarium of Canada travelled to the Soper River region to assess landforms and soil types, then catalogue plants and collect samples.[2][3] The expedition was part of a five-year project to record Arctic flora and improve the taxonomy of the Arctic ecology.[4][3]
