Net Carbon Flux of Dead Wood in Forests of the Eastern US

Problem Addressed: How to assess downed dead wood (DDW) carbon net flux
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Explore DDW carbon net flux in relation to other woody C pools and site/stand attributes
Key Findings: Diversity of ecosystem and number of organisms contribute to the complex dynamics of DDW carbon flux.
Recommendation: Assessing scale and timeframes of DDW C net flux to the atmosphere and other pools would benefit stand-level management.

Woody Debris Volume Depletion Through Decay: Implications for Biomass and Carbon Accounting

Problem Addressed: Underestimation of decay rates
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Develop method for estimating changes in log volume through time
Key Findings: Decaying logs have a collapse ratio that can serve as a surrogate for the volume remaining
Recommendation: Accounting for log volume depletion improves biomass-loss and carbon-accounting methods

Spruce Budworm (Chorisoneura fumiferana) pheromone chemistry and behavioral responses to pheromone components and analogs

Problem Addressed: Spruce Budworm
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Review the sex pheromone chemistry and pheromone-mediated behavior of the spruce budworm and related coniferophagous budworms.
Key Findings: Demonstrates an apparently normal male flight responses to a pheromone analog.

Parasitization of the spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana (Clemens) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) by Brachymeria intermedia (Nees) (Hymenoptera: Chlaciddidae)

Problem Addressed: Spruce Budworm
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Study the use of the parasitoid Brachymeria intermedia to attack spruce budworm
Key Findings: The percentage mortality is considerably higher than the total native pupal parasitoid complex.

Residues of Chlorpyrifos-methyl in Balsam Fir foliage, forest litter, soil, stream water, sediment and fish tissue after double aerial application of Redlan®

Problem Addressed: Spruce Budworm and residues from insecticides
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Determine residues from Chlorpyrifos-methyl
Key Findings: Remnants of Chlorpyrifos-methyl in foliage, forest litter, soil, stream water, sediment, and fish tissue.

Effect of gap harvesting on epiphytes and bark-dwelling arthropods in the Acadian forest of central Maine

Problem Addressed: Monitoring and research of arboreal arthropods and epiphytes in gap harvests
Goal(s)/Objective(s): How epiphyte and arthropod communities are affected by height and diameter of the stem and bark texture on red maple.
Key Findings: Gap harvesting had the greatest effect on epiphytes and bark dwelling anthropods at the base of the tree.
Recommendation: Gap harvesting has the potential to maintain the arthropod and empiphyte communities in Acadian forest stands.

Applying a Spruce Budworm Decision Support System to Maine: Projecting Spruce-Fir Volume Impacts under Alternative Management and Outbreak Scenarios

Problem Addressed: Antipated Spruce Budworm outbreak on timber supply
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Apply SBWDSS framework and use USDA FIA data to assess potential spruce-for losses from a SBW outbreak
Key Findings: Projections of moderate and severe intensity outbreaks could reduce statewide invtories by 20-30% over next 10 years.
Recommendation: Forestland owners and managers would benefit from conducting a spatially explicit township-by-township analysis of potential SBW impacts
