Distribution and presistence of fenitrothion residues in foliage, soil and water in larose forest.

Problem Addressed: Insecticide residues in Larose forest.

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Summarize an operational experiment carried out in Larose Forest to study the persistence of aerially applied fenitrothion and its metabolites (the oxon analgue and 4-nitro-cresol) in white spruce foliage, soil and water samples collected from sprayed areas.

Key Findings: Degradation and persistence of fenitrothion findings are in reasonable agreement with those for the same chemical used in N.B. forests.

A Biologically Active Analogue of the Primary Sex Pheromone Components of Spruce Budworm

Problem Addressed: Spruce Budworm

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Disruption of mating and of trap capture of spruce budworm

Key Findings: The 1, 12-pentadecadiene is an olefinic pheromone analogue for the spruce budworm that can duplicate to some extent the functioning of the primary sex-pheromone components.

Identifying growth releases in dendrochronological studies of forest disturbance

Problem Addressed: Measuring growth releases for reconstructing historical disturbances

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Provide an alternative method for testing growth releases

Key Findings: This absolute-increase method has convenient properties that remedy the shortcomings of the percent-increase method.

Recommendation: No arithmetic method is likely to obviate the need to visually inspect each tree-ring series.

Baxter State Park 2015 Research Summary Report

Problem Addressed: Visitor characteristics, travel behavior, and perceptions of tourism

Goal(s)/Objective(s): To understand how changing weather and climate could impact visitors in the Katahdin region by conducting visitor surveys.

Key Findings: Approximately 50% of respondents for both surveys ranked the expected weather as either very important or important in selecting BSP or the Katahdin region as their destination

Recommendation: Visitors to Baxter State Park and the Katahdin region may be receptive to climate change information, studies conducted in the park, or management actions taken to address the impacts that climate change may have in the area
