Stumpage Prices in Southern New England (1978–2011): How Do Red Oak, White Pine, and Hemlock Prices Vary over Time?
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyzed 33 years of red oak, white pine, and hemlock real stumpage prices—after removing inflationary effects—in southern New England. All real prices fluctuated; the real stumpage prices for white pine appear stable, hemlock decreased, but only red oak stumpage increased meaningfully over the 33-year period. This speaks to the importance of management—including silvicultural prescriptions to improve volume increment over time.

Impact of Deer Browsing on Regeneration in Mixed Stands in Southern New England
Browsing preferences by white-tailed deer were evaluated for 6 tree species in northeastern Connecticut. Deer density averaged 23/mile 2.Deer exhibited no species-specific preferences for seedlings reater than 19 in. For seedlings less than 19 in., hemlock and black birch were preferred. Red maple, sugar maple, and white pine seedlings were avoided. Red oak seedlings were neither preferred nor ...
متن کاملMoose Foraging in the Temperate Forests of Southern New England
Moose have recently re-colonized the temperate forests of southern New England, raising questions about this herbivore’s effect on forest dynamics in the region. We quantifi ed Moose foraging selectivity and intensity on tree species in relation to habitat features in central Massachusetts. Acer rubrum (Red Maple) and Tsuga canadensis (Eastern Hemlock) were disproportionately browsed; Pinus str...
متن کاملForty Years of Forest Succession in Central New England
The first 40 yr of forest succession on permanent plots at the Harvard Forest in central New England followed the initial floristic composition model of forest succession. After the 1938 hurricane removed the previous white pine (Pinus strobus) canopy, species regenerated within 4-6 yr by sprouts, buried seed, and wind-blown seed, with no method of regeneration uniformly contributing more to sp...
متن کاملNatural Regeneration Patterns in Even-Aged Mixed Stands in Southern New England
A regeneration survey in southern New England in three different cover types indicated that most of the seedhngs present were less than 19.7 in. in height. Although red oak was a principal component of he overstory, it represented a small proportion of regeneration. Black b•rch and red maple were common regeneration components. There was a general relationship between overstory density and the ...

In this paper, we first analyze trends in pulpwood production (1980-1997) and prices (1977-1998) in North Carolina. We then attempt to investigate spatial integration of the delivered and stumpage pulpwood markets for both mixed hardwood and pine in two regions of North Carolina (western; central and east combined). Results indicate that North Carolina's total roundwood removal volumes have gro...
