Mp754: A Literature Review Of The Effects Of Intensive Forestry On Forest Structure And Plant Community Composition At The Stand And Landscape Levels, Erika L. Rowland, Alan S. White, William H. Livingston

Miscellaneous Publications

The effects of intensive forest management on forest structure and plant community composition are not well documented, particularly with respect to the forests in the Northeast. This review presents a six-part synthesis of the literature. The first section considers the effects of intensive forestry practices within the context of naturally regenerated stands. The second section reviews the changes associated with the planting of conifers in softwood sites, as well as those previously occupied by hardwood and mixed-wood stands. The third examines the impacts of intensive management specifically on bryophytes and lichens. The fourth section discusses changes in dead organic matter …

B759: Balsam Fir (Abies Balsamea (L.) Mill.) Phenology In Maine, T. M. Mingo, J. B. Dimond

Bulletins

Spring phenology of balsam fir in Maine was investigated during 1978. Multiple regression models based on climatic and geographic factors were developed for predicting fir phenology and accounted for a maximum of 52.6% of the observed phenological variation. Generalized maps depicting observed and expected phenology patterns are also presented.
