SUMMARY:Long-Term Site Productivity Research: Lessons from Other Regions and Opportunities for Maine
DESCRIPTION:Registration is now open for Long-Term Site Productivity: Lessons from Other Regions and Opportunities for Maine\, a workshop and field tour in June hosted by the CFRU in collaboration with Dr. Tat Smith at the University of Toronto. \nOn Thursday\, June 7th\, join us in Orono for a day of presentations by speakers from as far away as British Columbia and Denmark and panel discussions to explore opportunities for Maine. On Friday\, June 8th\, join us as we explore a site within the Maine Adaptive Silviculture Experiment Network (MASEN).\nREGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED\nWayne Martin observes harvesting disturbance from whole-tree forwarding.

Therefore\, it is necessary to periodically review: the state of art with respect to forest management practices; the theoretical and empirical bases for sustainable forest management systems; the evidence on the ground that the standards of SFM (sustainable forest management) are being achieved in the long-run; and\, the adequacy of forest policies and other governance mechanisms such as certification of sustainable forest management to achieve SFM on the ground. \nObjectives:\n\nExamine the state of art regarding the sustainable management of northern forests\, with a focus on BC\, PNW\, Ontario and Quebec boreal\, and Nordic regions.\nEvaluate the progress made by research programs designed to validate Best Management Practices through rigorous experiments designed to test hypotheses regarding the long-term response of forest ecosystems to management.\nReview the evidence that current management systems are achieving internationally recognized standards of SFM.\nEvaluate the linkages between forestry research\, management and policy including certification as embodied in Adaptive Forest Management and applicable to northern region forests.\nReview the adequacy of the state of art in managing Maine’s forests to achieve SFM in the long run.\n\nIntended Audience:\nCross-section of professionals and the public involved with and concerned about the sustainable management of Maine’s forests \, including state and federal foresters\, forest industry\, academia\, NGOs\, and forestry certification system staff. \nFormat:\nDay 1: Full-day indoor technical workshop (4.5 Category 1 CFE credits)\nDay 2: Field study tour (4.5 Category 1 CFE credits) \nProgram:\nThursday\, June 7th: Indoor technical workshop \n\n\n\nTime\nItem\nPresenter\n\n\n8:30 – 8:40 a.m.\nRegistration\n\n\n\n8:40 – 9:00 a.m.\nWelcome and Workshop Overview\nBrian Roth\n\n\n9:00 – 9:30 a.m.\nConceptual Overview: Adaptive Forest Management \n(Click here for Dr. Smith’s slides)\nTat Smith\n\n\n9:30 -10:00 a.m.\nSustainable Harvesting of Forest Biomass for Energy in the Nordic Region: Policy\, Management\, and Research Linkages \n(Click here for Dr. Stupak’s slides)\nInge Stupak\n\n\n10:00 – 10:30 a.m.\nBreak\n\n\n\n10:30 – 11:00 a.m.\nScience-Based Forest Management: An Example from Coastal British Columbia \n(Click here for Dr. Prescott’s slides)\nCindy Prescott\n\n\n11:00 – 11:30 a.m.\nSustained Soil Productivity: Implementing Practical Soil Disturbance Guidelines through Technology Transfer \n(Click here for Dr. Sucre’s slides)\nEric Sucre\n\n\n11:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.\nPanel Discussion: Assessment of State of Art in the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia\n\n\n\n12:00 – 1:00 p.m.\nLunch (Provided)\n\n\n\n1:00 – 1:30 p.m.\nAn Ontario Example of Adaptive Management: Lessons Learned from Nearly 30 Years of Collaborative Site Productivity Research \n(Click here for Dr. Morris’s slides)\nDave Morris\n\n\n1:30 – 2:00 p.m.\nQuebec Long-Term Forestry Research and Periodic Policy Review \n(Click here for Dr. Kneeshaw’s slides)\nDan Kneeshaw\n\n\n2:00 – 2:30 p.m.\nState-Wide Wet-Areas Mapping Initiative (WAM) for Maine \n(Click here for Dr. Arp’s slides)\n Paul Arp\n\n\n2:30 – 3:00 p.m.\nBreak\n\n\n\n3:00 – 3:30 p.m.\nThe CFRU and the Value of Long-Term Forestry Research \n(Click here for Dr. Roth’s slides)\nBrian Roth\n\n\n3:30 – 4:00 p.m.\nImpacts of Harvesting on Nutrient Cycling and Tree Growth after 35 Years at Weymouth Point\, Maine \n(Click here for Dr. Smith’s slides)\nTat Smith\n\n\n4:00 – 4:30 p.m.\nOpportunities for Assessment of Long-Term Site Productivity across Contrasting Sites in Maine \n(Click here for Dr. Puhlick’s slides)\nJoshua Puhlick\n\n\n4:30 – 5:00 p.m.\nPanel Discussion: Assessment of Research State of Art and Best Management Practice Recommendations\n\n\n\n\n  \nFriday June 8th: Field Tour\, 8 a.m – 3 p.m. \n  \n\n\n\nTime\nItem\n\n\n8:00 – 9:00 a.m.\nTravel from University of Maine Orono campus to field site\n\n\n9:00 – 9:15 a.m.\nWelcome and Introductions (Dr. Brian Roth\, CFRU; John Bryant\, American Forest Management)\n\n\n9:15 – 11:15 a.m.\nGroup 1: Research and Technology in Adaptive Silviculture \n\nDr. Paul Arp\nMr. Anthony Guay\nDr. Anil Kizha.
