Presents data on nutrient content of tall shrub species from northeastern Minnesota.

Compares site index for 13 species found in even-aged northern hardwood stands. Shows that these species differ greatly in site index when growing together, but can be grouped into four general site index classes. Site relations between several species differed with soil drainage.

The potential for energy recovery from the vent stream of dryers is examined by assuming the vent stream transfers its energy in a regenerative heat exchanger. Tables present energy recovery over a range of conditions. Example problems demonstrate the use of the energy recovery tables.

Analyzes the operation and impact of the property tax on forest and associated land in Illinois and evaluates the potential of adjustments in the tax as an incentive to better management of forest and associated land.

A cost analysis of a 60 green ton per hour chip debarking plant predicts a processing cost of $7.58 per dry output ton, exclusive of raw materials costs.

Examines the market for forest and associated land in to southern Illinois counties and describes the attendant implications for land management.

Regeneration and productivity of aspen cannot be sustained on rotations shorter than about 8 years. Productivity losses on short rotations are physiological and morphological rather than nutritional in nature. Stump and root collar sprouts, which are rare in mature stands, were more numerous than root suckers.

Provides information about Minnesota canoe and kayak owners' socioeconomic characteristics, their experience with canoeing and kayaking, and the characteristics of use. Implications for management are also presented.

Red pine stands throughout the Lake States were sampled to determine the relation between site index and bole internode lengths. The total length of 5 internodes beginning at the first whorl above 8 feet is a good estimator of site index (average error 3.3 feet) for both plantations and natural stands throughout the Lake States.

Analyzes the timber marketing process in Indiana by examining the sale experience of 159 woodland owners who had recently sold timber.
