successes--our major accomplishments
Forest Values, Uses and Policies

Traditional landowners and markets are changing in a way that was not predicted a decade ago, making many of the assumptions regarding forest management no longer valid. Population growth, urbanization, demographic changes, globalization, and shifting values influence policy and management decisions. Forest Values, Uses, and Policies will provide the knowledge and technology to manage forests for economic, social, and ecological benefits.

•Urea is a common additive to the resin adhesives used by wood composite manufacturers; its low cost makes it a viable substitute to other resin components. The detection of urea in the manufacturing process is critical because high levels of urea cause product deficiencies. (more...)

•SRS scientists are evaluating the efficiency of raw materials converted to bioenergy. The Biomax25, a type of gasifier, burns wood chips in an ash bed. The chips produce three combustible gases: methane, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen. The gases are fed directly into a modified diesel engine that powers a turbine, producing 25 kilowatts of electricity.(more...)

• Loblolly decline has been linked to the presence of soil fungal pathogens. The infectious capabilities of pathogens may be enhanced by specific soil conditions such as poor internal drainage and insufficient nutrient content.(more...)

•SRS scientists have initiated a long-term water quality study to define expected sediment loads from forest roads. The control of sediment movement is an objective in most forestry.(more...)

•Forest health treatments focus on the removal of small diameter understory and hardwood encroachment. This prescription helps restore foraging habitat for wildlife, increase residual stand vigor, and may reduce wildfire risk.(more...)

• The cost of transporting salvage material, particularly low-valued biomass such as wood chips, residues, and hog fuel, is a significant barrier to forest product recovery and utilization. Transportation often accounts for half of the total costs of material delivered to a wood-using facility.(more...)

•SRS scientists designed a study to evaluate the social and economic impacts of the wide array of Forest Service management activities on national forests. The research examines benefits that accrue from Forest Service management activities at both the contractor and subcontractor levels.(more...)

•SRS scientists led a team that identified existing and potential incentives for practicing sustainable forestry on non-industrial private forest lands; the study was sponsored by the National Commission on Science for Sustainable Forestry.(more...)

•Understanding the economic implications of forest management activities is vitally important to forest landowners as they make plans for long-term forestry investments. SRS scientists developed two models to help landowners and consultants evaluate alternative forestry investments.(more...)

•In the aftermath of a catastrophic event, forest landowners are left with concerns about the current value of their damaged timber and uncertainty about the future market. SRS scientists have evaluated policy and management options for treating post-disaster timber salvage. (more...)

•Driven by global trade, demand shifts, and industry divestiture, southern timber markets have experienced dramatic changes since the completion of the Southern Forest Resource Assessment in 2002.(more...)

•SRS scientists have discovered a statistically significant relationship between hemlock health and residential property values in New Jersey. The study evaluated the economic impact of hemlock mortality, caused by the hemlock wooly adelgid, on residential properties.(more...)

•This research continued a national partnership between Federal agencies, States and three universities to study the activity, participation, and recreation lifestyles of Americans. Numerous products have resulted from this comprehensive assessment.(more...)

•SRS scientists published a nation-wide assessment of the public values of the National Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS). The assessment was published as a book entitled The Multiple Values of Wilderness.(more...)

•SRS scientist explored the responses of two rural communities to urban growth initiatives in coastal South Carolina. The majority of citizens in a lower income town are African American; the majority of citizens in a neighboring town are white.(more...)

•The previously developed Urban Forest Effects computer model, known as UFORE, was designed to help managers and researchers quantify the structure and functions of urban forests. UFORE quantifies effects by using standardized field data from randomly located plots, hourly air pollution and meteorological data, and numerous urban forest effects for cities across the world.(more...)

•This study measures the rate of spread and heat release for fires moving through four common southern mulches under natural conditions. The mulches are also combined with gallberry shrubs planted at several densities to determine how mulches contribute to shrub, and ultimately structure, ignitions.(more...)

•The purpose of this literature review of land use changes was to collect and synthesize the best available science in order to provide a foundation for developing a position paper that is credible and readily adopted by the Forest Service Southern Region and partners.(more...)
