Using LiDAR to quantify, map, and conserve late‐successional and old‐growth forest in Maine, USA
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract The world continues to lose late‐successional and old‐growth (LSOG) forest as the human population and demand for wood fiber grow. However, older forest age classes provide structural and compositional characteristics important to biodiversity that are often not present in forests managed for timber.

Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 64, Issue 11, Page 2351-2367, 1 June 2026.Bio‐based polymer composites were 3D printed by LCD vat photopolymerization using acrylate epoxidized soybean oil as the monomer and isobornyl methacrylate as the reactive diluent. Two different poplar powders derived from plywood processing waste were incorporated within the photocurable formulations.

Cone production of balsam fir damaged by balsam woolly aphid [PDF]
The Forestry Chronicle, 1975 The effect of balsam woolly aphid, Adelges piceae (Ratz.), damage on cone production by balsam fir, Abies balsamea (L.) Mill., was studied on 49 trees classified into six aphid damage classes. Results showed that there was no appreciable effect until damage exceeded the moderate level.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Decision making in conservation science often relies on the best available information, but existing models are rarely reproducible, transferrable, or accessible. We sought to reproduce and evaluate the suitability of the two best available models for predicting impacts of proposed mining on boreal woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in ...

Variation of Stem Radius in Response to Defoliation in Boreal Conifers
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021 In the long term, defoliation strongly decreases tree growth and survival. Insect outbreaks are a typical cause of severe defoliation. Eastern spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana Clem.) outbreaks are one of the most significant disturbances of Picea

Carbon and biomass partitioning in balsam fir (Abies balsamea) [PDF]
Tree Physiology, 2005 Balsam fir (Abies balsamea (L.) Mill) was extensively sampled to investigate the effects of forest management practices, site location, within-crown position, tree component (i.e., stem, foliage, branches and roots), and tree social classes on biomass and carbon (C) partitioning at the individual tree level and across ecological regions. The sites were

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Plantations are the spearhead of adaptive silviculture, yet we do not understand how damage from abiotic and biotic agents relates to seedlings’ survival. In this study, we used multi‐state models, which originate from the medical field, to evaluate the relation between ‘damage history’, silvicultural treatments, and planted tree survival.
