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.

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
