Biomass retention following whole-tree, energy wood harvests in central Maine: Adherence to five state guidelines

Problem Addressed: Integrated roundwood and energy wood whole-tree harvesting.

Key Findings: Enough fine woody material remained on the harvest sites to meet the guideline criteria; however, the quantities of coarse woody material, large logs, and snags were insufficient.

The role of vegetation management for enhancing productivity of the world’s forests

Problem Addressed: Influence of competing vegetation on regenerating forests

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Review results from longest-term studies in North America, South Africa, South America, and New Zealand/Australia.

Key Findings: About 25% of studies had volume gains from 100 - 200 per cent. Over half had 50 – 300% yield increases. Three-quarters showed yield gains from 30 - 500%

Recommendation: Managing competing vegetation in young forest stands produces large, early yield gains in forests around the world

Maximum and Largest Crown Width Equations for 15 Tree Species in Maine

Problem Addressed: Crown width is an important tree attribute, but challenging and expensive to measure.

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Develop equations to predict maximum and largest crown width as a function of DBH

Key Findings: Large differences between species crown widths and a strong relationship with DBH

Recommendation: Crown width equations are useful tool and can be used to derive a variety of forest attributes like crown closure.
