Mp761: Considerations And Recommendations For Retaining Woody Biomass On Timber Harvest Sites In Maine, Jeffrey G. Benjamin Jan 2010

Mp761: Considerations And Recommendations For Retaining Woody Biomass On Timber Harvest Sites In Maine, Jeffrey G. Benjamin

Miscellaneous Publications

This report and associated guidelines focus on the amount and type of woody biomass that should be retained in the forest after a harvest operation to protect soil productivity, water quality, and site-level biodiversity. Woody biomass, defined from a forest operations perspective, is comprised of logging residues, previously unmerchantable stems, and other such woody material harvested directly from the forest typically for the purposes of energy production. In the broadest sense woody biomass is the total mass of roots, stem, branches, bark and leaves of all tree and shrub species (live and dead) in the forest. Under the broad definition …

B740: Effect Of Soil And Urea Fertilization On Foliar Nutrients And Basal Area Growth Of Red Spruce, L.O. Safford, H.E. Young, T.W. Knight

Bulletins

In this experiment we studied the effect of nitrogen fertilizer and soil on the nutrient content of foliage and average basal area growth of red spruce (Picea rubens Sarg.) trees in stands that were approaching economic maturity. These trees were on three common soil series of eastern and central Maine. We conducted foliage analyses for 5 years after fertilization, and measured the basal area growth for 9 years after treatment.
