Problem Addressed: Understanding how defects influence product recover and value; growth and mortality.
Goal(s)/Objective(s): A revised tree classification system
Key Findings: Stem form and vigor are highly variable across hardwood species; both attributes have important implications on hardwood growth & yield.
Recommendation: 4 classifications of stem form, 2 classifications of risk

Problem Addressed: Wildfire risk
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Characterize the primary social and ecological dimensions of the wildfire risk pathology
Key Findings: A fire-adapted governance system that engages a wide array fo human actors in social networks and planning processes that promote complex thinking about the future offers the best chance of mitigating the wildfire risk pathology,

Problem Addressed: Secondary uses for salvage logging.
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Assess the impacts of blowdown and salvage logging on wildfire severity
Key Findings: Salvage logging reduced the intensity (heat released) of the subsequent fire, but the effect on severity (impact to the system) differed between the tree crowns and forest floor.

Problem Addressed: Forest management strategies for addressing global climate change
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Determine long-term efficacy of mitigation and adaptation strategies
Key Findings: There are trade-offs between the achievement of mitigation and adaptation objectives
Recommendation: Rigid adherence to a single objective, without recognizing potential consequences to other ecosystem components, may be detrimental to long-term ecosystem functioning within the context of environmental change

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

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.
