Modelling Primary Branch Frequency and Size for Five Conifer Species in Maine, USA

Problem Addressed: Crown Structure
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Test for species differences in maximum branch diameter profile, branch density, and relative branch diameter distribution.
Key Findings: There is a range of variability in key crown structural attributes due to inherent species differences, but models fit across multiple species can perform quite well as the amount of explained variation was relatively high.

Stand Structure and Composition 32 Years after Precommercial Thinning Treatments in a Mixed Northern Conifer Stand in Central Maine

Problem Addressed: Precommercial thinning on an even-aged northern conifer stand in Maine
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Examination of stand structure and composition 32 years after treatment.
Key Findings: Early thinning treatments were found to have long-term effects on key stand attributes, even more than 30 years after treatment in areas with mixed species composition and moderate site potential.

Northeastern forests and global climate change: searching for a forest footprint

Problem Addressed: Attempting to find footprint of climate change in forest measurements
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Short note discusses difficulties of identifying climate change impacts from forest data
Key Findings: Mane's climate has changed. Identifying effects on forests is difficult.
Recommendation: Be careful making claims one way or the other.

Thoughts on Soils and Climate Change: Paradigms and Pragmatism

Problem Addressed: Shifting climatology alters the taxonomy of some soils across the landscape.
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Highlight the increased value of soils information across various sectors in climate adaptation and mitigation, while challenging the management of soils information to be accessible and accurate in a changing climatology.

MODELING BIOMASS AND NUTRIENT DYNAMICS IN MAINE BALSAM FIR STANDS: INFLUENCE OF INCREASED SILVICULTURAL INTENSITY ON FOREST SUSTAINABILITY

Problem Addressed: Intensive forest harvesting impacts on site productivity.
Key Findings: This analysis indicated that relative risk of depletion of plant-available nutrients was Ca>K>P>Mg. If N remains the most commonly deficient nutrient in forests of the region today, then accelerated rates of N removal were also a potential concern.
Recommendation: Evaluate site conditions and soil suitability as part of intensive harvesting prescriptions.
