- Abstract:
- We propose to utilize a 20-year, GIS database for Massachusetts developed from MADCR regulatory data to: (1) document harvesting patters; and (2) determine harvesting impacts on stand composition, regeneration, and invasive species. This project will provide data needed for assessing critical management issues (e.g., high-grading, invasives) and Forest Certification and Ecoregional planning efforts.
