Nutrient Concentration of Down Woody Debris in Mixedwood Forests in Central Maine, USA
Problem Addressed: Nutrient concentrations pre- and post-harvest pool sizes across down woody debris decay.
Goal(s)/Objective(s): To determine the nutrient concentrations
Key Findings: Softwoods generally had lower nutrient concentrations and higher C:N-ratios than hardwoods; N:P-ratios did not differ between hardwoods and softwoods.

Problem Addressed: Do herbicides increase forest productivity, and are they compatible with the objectives of wildlife management and biodiversity conservations?
Key Findings: If herbicides are properly used, current research indicates that the negative effects on wildlife are usually short-term and that herbicides can be used to meet wildlife habitat objectives.

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Benchmark and calibrate three submodels of the Forest Vegetation Simulator-Northeast variant (FVS-NE).
Key Findings: An assessment of overall model performance should be conducted if calibrated submodels are used and alternative modeling strategies be explored to better represent the allometry and growth of the important trees species across the northeastern United States.

[mrp_rating_result no_rating_results_text="No ratings yet" before_count="(" after_count=" ratings)"]Comparing Strategies for Modeling Individual-Tree Height and Height-to-Crown Base Increment in Mixed-Species Acadian Forests of Northeastern North America
Problem Addressed: Lack of prediction methods for annual tree height increment and height-to-crown base increment.
Key Findings: There is an advantage to incorporating species as a random effect in individual-tree models and the effectiveness of modeling tree crown recession directly for application in mixed-species forest growth and yield models was demonstrated.

Problem Addressed: Lessons learned.
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Informal summary on issues.
Key Findings: Forest, industry, and pest control options have all changed. WE have one well observed outbreak but next one may be different.
Recommendation: Continue the march already begun by State with intense early monitoring, and industry and University with planning, education, and information.

Problem Addressed: Distribution of Leaf Area
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Examine species variation in total and vertical distribution of projected leaf area at the individual branch- and tree-levels.
Key Findings: Differences in total and vertical distribution of leaf area exist between species, but significant amounts of their variation are largely accounted for by bole and crown size.
