Agroforestry
Agroforestry Nutrient Credit Trading in Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay Region
Open to view video.
Open to view video. The size and distribution of non-timber forest product harvests and the value and trends in raw material are often unknown. RootReport was created to systematically measure these parameters for medicinal plants harvested in eastern deciduous forests. Results show trade range, product value, harvest amounts, and harvest distribution by FIA zones. Presented by John Munsell, Virginia Tech.
Hybrid Poplar: A Potential Multipurpose Tree for Woody Biomass in Semi-arid Climates
Open to view video.
Open to view video. New Mexico State University (NMSU) ASC-Farmington began provenance testing of hybrid poplars (Populus spp.) in 2002, followed by later trials. The P. x canadensis clone OP-367 has proven the fastest growing, while a related clone (544) has proven drought- and frost-resistant. Results indicate hybrid poplar can flourish in semi-arid conditions. Presented by Sam Allen, New Mexico State University.
Private Forestry: Family Forest Owners
Implementation of Fuel Reduction Treatments on Nonindustrial Private Forest Lands in Mississippi
Open to view video.
Open to view video. This study determined the relationship between implementation of fuel reduction treatments by nonindustrial private forest landowners, landowners attitudes toward wildfires, and socio-economic factors in Mississippi. The study helps better understand the factors affecting implementation of fuel reduction treatments and develop more effective strategies for coordinated wildfire prevention and mitigation. Presented by Anusha Shrestha, Mississippi State University.
Urban & Community Forestry
Understanding How Urban Residential Owners Perceive and Manage Their Trees: A Comparison of Four WI Cities
Open to view video.
Open to view video. To better understand tree care motivations and behaviors of urban residential owners, the Wisconsin DNR piloted an urban adaptation of the US Forest Service’s National Woodland Owner Survey. We compare survey results from four cities and explore how they can inform efforts to engage urban residents to manage their trees. Presented by Kathryn Thostenson, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
