Tb170: The Flora And Plant Communities Of Maine Peatlands, Dennis S. Anderson, Ronald B. Davis

Technical Bulletins

The objectives of this study are (1) to classify and describe the plant communities of Maine peatlands, (2 ) to demonstrate the relationships between the communities, (3) to characterize the communities in terms of physical and chemical variables, (4) to show the geographic distribution of the communities, (5) to investigate the relationships between plant communities and peatland geomorphic/hydrologic types, (6) to report the areal cover of vegetation cover-types (aggregated communities ) for individual peatlands, and (7) to document the flora of Maine's peatlands, including vascular plants, bryophytes, and lichens.

Wild Blueberry Research Reports

The 1997 edition of the Wild Blueberry Progress Reports was prepared for the Wild Blueberry Commission of Maine and the Wild Blueberry Advisory Committee by researchers at the University of Maine, Orono. Projects in this report include:

1. Investigation of processing damage of IQF blueberries

2. Use of sorter rejects and wild blueberry puree to prevent warmed over flavor in processed beef patties

3. Factors affecting the quality of IQF wild blueberries

4. Determination of pesticide residue levels in fresh and processed wild blueberries

5. Pollination ecology of wild blueberries in Maine

6. Control tactics for wild blueberry pest insects …
