    Integrated emerald ash borer management: Testing a novel approach to assess stakeholder perceptions
    (2023-01-23) Schneider, Ingrid; Rannow, Brett; Russell, Matt; Gupta, Angela; Windmuller-Campione, Marcella; ingridss@umn.edu; Schneider, Ingrid
    These data describe Minnesota state park visitors' perceptions, attitudes, preferences, and behaviors pertaining to landscapes managed in response to emerald ash borer (EAB, Agrilus planipennis) and EAB itself. Two primary datasets are included: 1) Onsite data captured from visitors at Fort Snelling, Lake Bemidji, and Wild River state parks and 2) Data obtained from online surveys. These data aim to inform researchers and managers of the public's understanding of EAB, their acceptance of common Minnesota forest management strategies, their intended visitation behaviors in response to management surrounding EAB, and preferences for landscapes managed in response to EAB. Coding manuals, data descriptions, and participant consent forms are included. Data were released to provide transparency and data to potential stakeholders and interested parties.

    Pre-commercial jack pine thinning at the Cloquet Forestry Center
    (2021-01-13) Christiansen, Garett; Windmuller-Campione, Marcella; Gill, Kyle G
    The 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.
