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.

Maine Forest and Forest Products Survey – Preliminary Findings

Problem Addressed: How do Maine residents view forests, forestry, and the emerging bioproducts industry.

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Explore Maine resident views toward forest conditions, practices, and new forest uses for bioenergy and other products.

Key Findings: Forest sustainability is a key concern both state-wide and in mill towns.

Recommendation: Maine residents express strong support for forestry and forest products. Sustainable harvesting is a precondition, as is stakeholder engagement in the development of new forest-based processing technologies.
