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

Effects of multiple interacting disturbances and salvage logging on forest carbon stocks

Problem Addressed: Multiple disturbances or post-disturbance forest management activities on ecosystem carbon stocks.
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Quantify how forest carbon stocks respond to stand-replacing blowdown and wildfire
Key Findings: Potential increases in multiple disturbance events may represent a challenge for sustaining ecosystem carbon stocks

Ecological Impacts of Energy-Wood Harvests: Lessons from Whole-Tree Harvesting and Natural Disturbance

Problem Addressed: Expected impacts of even-aged energy-wood harvesting (EWH) on ecosystem structure and function
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Summarize existing knowledge to anticipate the impacts of EWH on carbon stocks, nutrients, terrestrial biodiversity, and associated aquatic ecosystems.
Key Findings: Harvesting impacts and forest sustainablitliy have relevance for examining potential consequences for biodiversity and aquatic ecosystems
Recommendation: Data is needed to address the longterm ecosystem sustainability of EWH and inform decisions concerning the acceptability of forest-derived wood as an important energy source worldwide

Natural disturbance in an old-growth landscape of northern Maine, USA

Problem Addressed: Forest dynamics and succession in old-growth stand in northern Maine.
Key Findings: The abundance of shade-tolerant saplings, coupled with the absence of stand-replacing disturbance, has maintained canopy dominance by shade-tolerant species.

Refining volume estimates of down woody debris

Problem Addressed: Determine which formulae are most appropriate for use in field protocols
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Evaluate the bias, precision, and accuracy of six commonly used formulae for DWD volume estimation and to demonstrate the degree to which collapse could influence volume estimates of well-decayed DWD.
Key Findings: The conic–paraboloid formula had the lowest bias, highest precision, and greatest accuracy.
