Boundaries between ecoregions identify significant shifts in ecological attributes, and wildlife population dynamics often differ between each region...Item Old Forest Extent and Changes in Minnesota 2003-2018(University of Minnesota Department of Forest Resources, 2021-03) Peters, Emily B.; Wilson, David C.; Edgar, Christopher B.; Ek, Alan R.Old forests are an important part of Minnesota’s landscape. Here we describe the extent and recent changes in the acreage of old forest in Minnesota by forest type. Statewide, the area of old forest increased from 3.8% of the total forest area in 2003 to 6.4% in 2018. The area of old forest increased for most forest types and across all major ownership categories, but there are exceptions, notably for forest types that occupy relatively small acreages, are actively managed for timber products, or have forest health issues.Item Description and Implementation of the Great Lakes Forest Projection System (GLFPS)(University of Minnesota Department of Forest Resources, 2020-09) Wilson, David C.; Ek, Alan R.Item Determination of forest type and stand size class across FIA inventory years(University of Minnesota Department of Forest Resources, 2019-11) Zobel, John M.; Ek, Alan R.; Edgar, Christopher B.Item Stand Volume, Biomass and Carbon Equations for the Upper Great Lakes Region(University of Minnesota Department of Forest Resources, 2019-07) Wilson, David C.; Ek, Alan R.Item Hardwood stand modeling using the Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS)(University of Minnesota Department of Forest Resources, 2019-01) Wilson, David C.; Ek, Alan R.This note reports on the adaptation of the USDA Forest Service’s Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) to model individual stands and potential management scenarios for the hardwood forests of Southeastern MinnesotaItem Forest Cover Type and Productivity as Related to Physiography(University of Minnesota Department of Forest Resources, 2018-11) Wilson, David C.; Zobel, John M.; Ek, Alan R.An analysis of statewide forest inventory data indicates the occurrence of various forest cover types on the landscape is closely associated with physiographic conditions on those sites. Tables quantifying these relationships are provided as an aid to interpretation of forest inventory data in Minnesota and associated silvicultural opportunities.Item Evidence of Rapid Forest Change in Minnesota(University of Minnesota Department of Forest Resources, 2018-06) Wilson, David C.; Ek, Alan R.Item Cost-effective Forest Inventory Designs: Field Data Collection(University of Minnesota Department of Forest Resources, 2018-02) Ek, Alan R.; Wilson, David C.; Edgar, Christopher B.; Zobel, John M.Item Evaluating Old Age for Forests in Minnesota from Forest Inventory Records(University of Minnesota Department of Forest Resources, 2017-06) Wilson, David C.; Ek, Alan R.Item Automating the Creation of Stem Maps for Permanent Forest Inventory Plots Using R (Revised)(University of Minnesota Department of Forest Resources, 2017-05) Wilson, David C.; Zobel, John M.; Ek, Alan R.A method is presented and documented for constructing tree location maps for permanent field plots to aid remeasurement and usage of the tree and plot data.Item Volume, Growth, and Stand Dynamics of a 192-year Old Pinus resinosa (Red Pine) Forest(University of Minnesota Department of Forest Resources, 2016-10) Russell, Matthew B.; Anderson, BrianItem Managed White Spruce Stands Influenced by Spruce Budworm: How Does the Forest Vegetation Simulator Perform?(University of Minnesota Department of Forest Resources, 2015-07) Russell, Matthew B.; D'Amato, Anthony W.Item Effects of mounding on planting conifers in wetlands(St. Paul, Minn. : Department of Forest Resources, University of Minnesota, 2014-06) Mehne, Alex C.; Mehne, Charles J.Item Description and implementation of a single cohort and lifespan yield and mortality model for forest stands in Minnesota(St. Paul, Minn. : Department of Forest Resources, University of Minnesota, 2014-02) Zobel, John M.; Ek, Alan R.; O'Hara, Timothy J.Item Influence of site preparation on natural regeneration and understory plant communities within red pine shelterwood systems(St. Paul, Minn. : Department of Forest Resources, University of Minnesota, 2013-09) D'Amato, Anthony W.
