Farms and Forests: Quantifying the Tree Resource in the Great Plains

Between 1935 and 1942, the Prairie States Forestry Project orchestrated the planting of more than 220 million trees in 33,000 windbreaks totaling more than 18,000 miles in a swath stretching from North Dakota to Texas. Today, scientists with the Northern Research Station’s Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) Program are helping establish the extent and location of windbreaks in the Great Plains. Station: NRS

The 2002 Biscuit Fire in the Siskiyou National Forest created a mosiac of burned and unburned forest.

Fire as a tool

Landscape-scale forest restoration programs that incorporate managed wildfire and prescribed fire lead to more pronounced reductions in fire severity in frequent-fire forests. Station: PNW

Terrestrial Condition Assessment supports agency mission to protect and restore ecosystem integrity in the National Forest System

Terrestrial Condition Assessment tools provide agency users with a holistic and integrated understanding of the how numerous stressors are affecting the integrity of forest ecosystems on National Forest System lands. The tools are easily customized by region and national forest to improve applicability of results for specific geographic contexts. Station: PNW

Ecological impacts of collaborative forest restoration treatments

Restoration treatments are being implemented at an increasing rate in ponderosa pine and other dry conifer forests across the western United States, via the USDA Forest Service’s Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program (CFLRP). In this program, collaborative stakeholder groups work with National Forests to adaptively implement and monitor forest restoration treatments intended to offset the effects of many decades of human and natural stressors.  Station: RMRS

Customized options for kitchen cabinet doors including species, style, and finish

Building a Stronger Hardwood Economy with Customized Products

Demand for individually customized products, where customers are enabled to choose their own design features, is increasing in the broader U.S. economy. USDA Forest Service research analyzed this trend and found that it offers opportunities for the hardwood industry to enhance its global competitiveness if the associated manufacturing and supply chain challenges can be overcome. Station: NRS

Tree cover change in urban areas by state

Declining U.S. Urban Tree Cover

Urban forests in the United States conservatively provide over $18 billion in annual benefits. Between 2009 and 2014, tree cover in urban areas dropped from 40.4 percent to 39.4 percent with 44 states showing a decline in tree cover. Total net loss of benefits is estimated at $96 million per year. Station: NRS

Mites (Acari) are an important component of the litter invertebrate community in tropical forests in Puerto Rico

Ecology of soil arthropod fauna in tropical forests: A review of studies from Puerto Rico

A significant number of ecological investigations have focused on the characterization of the edaphic fauna, and how they influence ecosystem processes in forested sites Station: IITF

More than 500 Forest Service researchers work in a range of biological, physical, and social science fields to promote sustainable management of the Nation's diverse forests and rangelands. Research Highlights focuses on their best work. This year’s best
