Ecological Impacts of Energy-Wood Harvests: Lessons from Whole-Tree Harvesting and Natural Disturbance

Problem Addressed: Expected impacts of even-aged energy-wood harvesting (EWH) on ecosystem structure and function

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Summarize existing knowledge to anticipate the impacts of EWH on carbon stocks, nutrients, terrestrial biodiversity, and associated aquatic ecosystems.

Key Findings: Harvesting impacts and forest sustainablitliy have relevance for examining potential consequences for biodiversity and aquatic ecosystems

Recommendation: Data is needed to address the longterm ecosystem sustainability of EWH and inform decisions concerning the acceptability of forest-derived wood as an important energy source worldwide

Fenitrothion Residues in Honeybees and Their Products Collected From Forested Areas Sprayed with the Insecticide for Budworm Control

Problem Addressed: Fenitrothion effects on honeybees

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Results and observations made in an extensive three-year study program undertaken in 1972 to determine the effect of fenitrothion applied by aircraft at operational levels on honeybees and its residues, if any, in 122 honeybee, pollen, beeswax and honey samples collected from sprayed forest areas in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec.

Final Report on The Effects of Forest Spraying on Reproduction in Smallmouth Bass Populations in Washington County

Problem Addressed: Smallmouth bass waters lie within the proposed spray area for operational control of spruce budworm

Key Findings: No direct fish mortality or physiological and behavioral responses were observed because of the doses used, the low toxicity, and the avoidance of direct application in the lake.

The Biological Side-Effects of Fenitrothion in Forests Ecosystems

Problem Addressed: Fenitrothion was both efficacious against spruce budworm larvae and of low hazard to fish and wildlife compared with its predecessors and with compounds available currently

Key Findings: Fenitrothion presents only negligible environmental impact if used as directed

The Effect of an Experimental Application of Dimiln Upon Selected Forest Fauna

Key Findings: No immediate or short term effects of Dimilin treatment on small forest songbirds or colonies of domestic honey bees. Small mammal populations in the treatment area were too low to assess insecticide impact. Further studies of the short and long term effects of this compound on non-target organisms are recommended, particularly with respect to components of aquatic ecosystems.

Recommendation: Further field and laboratory testing of the effects of Dimilin on non-target organisms
