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

Problem Addressed: The decline of several spruce-fir associated birds

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.

Relationships Among Forest Management and Spruce Grouse (Falcipennis canadensis) Patch Occupancy and Abundance in Commercially-Managed Forests

Problem Addressed: Decline of spruce grouse populations

Goal(s)/Objective(s): To determine how the maturity, structure, and composition of the commercial forest affect spruce grouse occupancy and abundance.

Key Findings: Forest harvest practices that maintain and promote conifer regeneration should be implemented in both current, and historically, conifer-dominated stands.
