Growth Impact of the North Kaibab Pandora Moth Outbreak (1987)

Problem Addressed: Tree mortality and growth due to pandora moth outbreaks

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Examine tree mortality and growth in defoliated, insecticide treated, and undefoliated stands in the pandora moth outbreak area on the Kaibab National Forest

Key Findings: Tree mortality was less than 1%, defoliation loss was estimated at least 11 f.b.m. per acre per year.

Early Response of Balsam Fir to Spacing in Northwestern New Brunswick (1981)

Problem Addressed: Balsam fir development

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Describes the early development of young balsam fir/white spruce stands in northwestern New Brunswick which were spaced to several different levels of spacing, about 02 years ago.

Key Findings: Evaluation of "optimal" spacing levels will involve an economic analysis of such factors as cost of spacing, the relationship between merchantable yield and initial spacing, the influence of average tree size on logging costs, and relative costs and benefits of alternative silvicultural treatments such as fertilization.

Population Dynamics of the Major North American Needle-Eating Budworms (1993)

Problem Addressed: Western Spruce Budworm

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Analyze data from nine projects in six western States to provided 1,251 life tables and to produce projection capabilities for defoliation and successive budworm densities as functions of preceding density, site and stand attributes, interested influences, systematic year-to-year changes in survival, recent insecticide treatment, and weather.

Key Findings: The predator-limitation theory of Hairston and others (1960) is not adequate to explain population limitations in this group of herbivores
