Item Experimental Forests project proposal and record form metadata(2022-01) Gill, Kyle GThe UMN Experimental Forests research coordinator uses a project tracking procedure, often called the Project Records data management system, to document and record the research, teaching, demonstration, management, and other activities that occur across the land base. The goal for tracking is to be a good steward of the land and data resources by documenting the extent to which we are manipulating, using, and observing the ecosystems. To initiate a project, potential project leaders submit a Project Proposal Form. Once a project is approved, the project is given a unique ID number and the form becomes the project's Project Record form. This metadata document describes the information/data that is recorded in each section of the proposal/record form. It is intended to both help answer questions as project leaders fill out the form and to serve as metadata for the Experimental Forests research coordination team.Item Pre-commercial jack pine thinning at the Cloquet Forestry Center(2021-01-13) Christiansen, Garett; Windmuller-Campione, Marcella; Gill, Kyle GThe jack pine pre-commercial thinning experiment at the Cloquet Forestry Center aimed to explore how individual tree growth and stand structure respond to different levels of thinning at around stand age 15. In this conference poster, we present an overview of the study design, results of tree height, diameter, live crown ratio, and density for sample years 2015, 2016, and 2019, and lessons learned so far. Results are summarized for heavy, moderate, and light thinning treatments and a control condition. Results show that tree diameters are significantly greater in treatment areas when compared with the control and that this increase is directly correlated with thinning intensity. This poster was digitally presented during the Sustainable Forests Education Cooperative 2021 Forestry and Wildlife Research Review.Item Wood density and decay dynamics of pentachlorophenol-treated wooden posts for four species in Minnesota, USA(2018-04-12) Russell, Matthew B; Patton, Stephanie R; Gill, Kyle G; russellm@umn.edu; Russell, Matthew BWood decay measurements collected from fence posts that were treated with a 5% oil solution of pentachlorophenol in 1942. Fence posts were installed at the University of Minnesota's Cloquet Forestry Center in Cloquet, MN.
