Item Agriculture and forestry in the contxt of sustainable development(University of Minnesota. Department of Forest Resources, 1989-11) Rose, DietmarItem Buried Root Systems: Their association with stem encircling and girdling roots, and relationship with tree condition(2004-09-05) Hanson, DaveThis study examines buried root systems among street trees surveyed in three Minnesotan cities. Buried root systems can cause tree roots to encircle, girdle a tree stem, cutting off vital nutrients to the tree canopy and causing the tree to decline, die. Results of this study will help arborists and urban foresters better understand the association between the depth of soil over a tree’s first lateral root and frequency of these encircling, girdling root systems.Item Common property management and sustainable development in India(University of Minnesota. Department of Forest Resources, 1990-10) Arnold, J.E.M.Item Contributions of tropical forests to sustainable development: the role of industry and the trade(University of Minnesota. Department of Forest Resources, 1990-05) Gregerson, Hans M.; Lundgren, Allen L.; Lindell, Gary R.Item Forestry for sustainable development: concepts and a framework for action(University of Minnesota. Department of Forest Resources, 1990-03) Gregerson, Hans M.; Lundgren, Allen L.Item Guidelines for planning and designing training activities in forestry and watershed management(University of Minnesota. Department of Forest Resources, 1993-11) Brooks, Kenneth N.Item Improving water quality monitoring for decision making: a plan of action and proposal for implementation(University of Minnesota. Department of Forest Resources, 1988-12) Perrry, James A.; Gregerson, Hans M.; Lundgren, Allen L.; Troelstrup, Nels H., Jr.; Blinn, Charles R.Item Linking monitoring and assessment to sustainable development(University of Minnesota. Department of Forest Resources, 1989-09) Gregerson, Hans M.; Lundgren, Allen L.Item The nontimber values of tropical forests(University of Minnesota. Department of Forest Resources, 1990-11) Myers, NormanItem Research Summary on a Long-Term Planting Depth Study(2007-09-05) Hanson, DaveThe focus of this study is to determine how quickly stem encircling (SERs) or stem girdling roots (SGRs) occur, and to determine what (if any) relationships exist between planting depth and suckering, SERs, SGRs, or growth rates. While there are some interesting trends, few solid conclusions can be drawn from the data collected thus far.Item Research Summary on Pot-In-Pot Production and Planting Depth(2006-04-03) Hanson, DaveThis focus of this research study investigates the nursery practice of placing trees deeply in containers to prevent wind-throw and excessive lean. After four months of observation, tree lean, caliper and root volume were analyzed, and results showed no association between planting depth and occurrence of windthrow. A lower proportion of trees required staking when planted at greater depth of soil. Species-specific associations between planting depth and root volume and caliper were observed, and these findings can help inform standard nursery practices.Item The role of multinational agencies in promoting sustainable development(University of Minnesota. Department of Forest Resources, 1990-12) McGaughey, Stephen E.Item The role of watershed management in sustainable development(University of Minnesota. Department of Forest Resources, 1988-12) Working Group on Watershed Management and DevelopmentItem Sustainable development: the role of NGOs(University of Minnesota. Department of Forest Resources, 1990-10) Myers, NormanItem Tropical forestry for sustainable development(University of Minnesota.

Understanding Barriers to Forestland Stewardship in Minnesota(University of Minnesota Department of Forest Resources, 2022-06) O'Connor, Molly C.; Russell, Matthew B.; Gupta, Angela S.; Blinn, Charles R.A third of the nation’s forestland is owned and stewarded by family forest owners (Butler et al. 2021). These private landowners (woodland stewards) value them primarily due to the beauty, natural values, and wildlife habitat they provide. In Minnesota, 102,000 woodland stewards own and manage over five million acres of forestland in the state (USDA Forest Service, 2021). While private forestland in Minnesota is diverse in terms of the composition and characteristics of the forest, the demographics of woodland stewards are not. The objectives of this project were to (1) interview Minnesota residents that have been historically excluded from owning forestland within the State to understand their motivations and barriers to stewarding, purchasing, owning, and managing land and (2) build Extension’s repertoire of woodland steward resources that are more culturally-relevant.
