Effects of Forest Management on Avian Abundance in Spruce-fir Forests of New England

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Determine how forest management is associated with mature forest structure and how abundance of focal species responds to mature forest structure
Key Findings: Forest management treatments reflect a range of vegetative structural conditions from mature reference stands with large diameter trees and relatively low shrub cover to clearcut stands with few large trees and high shrub cover.

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Measure the loss of the public sector relative to the losses of the private sector that would be incurred if the spruce budworm epidemic is not controlled in the 1976 proposed project area.
Key Findings: The relative losses and benefits accruing to public and private interest from a Budworm Management Program are the basis for determining the equitable burden.
