Technical Bulletins
The specific objectives of this study were (a) to define the organic and inorganic composition of foliar litter from red maple (Acer rubrum L.) and white pine (Pinus strobus L.), and (b) to determine the shifts in the organic and inorganic composition of these two litter types during the initial stages of decomposition. These two species were chosen because of their prominence in the northeastern U.S. and the contrast they afforded in litter quality characteristics which have a strong influence on litter decomposition.

Miscellaneous Reports
A great deal of research effort has been devoted to the topic of erosion and sedimentation from forest lands. This report reviews the literature dealing with the potential sources of forestry-related nonpoint source pollution and impacts on surface water, with particular emphasis on those studies conducted in Maine and in the Northeast. This review is organized along the following topics: sediment, temperature, nitrate, phosphorus, acidity, and herbicides.

Clearcutting In Maine: Would Somebody Please Ask The Right Question?, John M. Hagan Iii
Maine Policy Review
In November [1996], Maine citizens will cast their votes for or against the Green Party-initiated referendum on forest practices. Better known as the clearcutting referendum, its supporters and opponents have staked out their terms in what has become a bitter debate over "jobs for Maine people" versus the "future of the Maine North Woods." Yet, amidst the deluge of media campaigns and ideological predictions, rest important questions—about forest management practices and how best to ensure a viable future for the people and forests of Maine. John Hagan contributes a perspective to this debate, blending scientific data with personal experience of …
