Assessing and Modeling Standing Deadwood Attributes Under Alternative Silvicultural Regimes in the Acadian Forest region of Maine, USA

Problem Addressed: Standing Deadwood in Forests

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Snags in various stages of decay were inventoried across eight silvicultural treatments in eastern spruce–fir forests in central Maine nearly 60 years after treatments were initiated. Several modeling strategies were developed to estimate number of snags per hectare in various stages of decay.

Key Findings: Help with reducing disparities between observed and modeled snag stocking levels and further understanding of relationships between live and standing dead trees inherent to eastern spruce-fir forests.

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.
