My Research

I am comparing biomass harvest systems and vegetative management treatments for rehabilitation of low value beechdominated hardwood stands. A factorial combination of two harvest systems, three stand conditions and three vegetation management treatments are proposed to compare feasibility, cost, and efficacy of rehabilitating young beechdominated stands in Maine.

In Other Words

My interest lies in developing harvesting methods to supply raw material for bioenergy and bioproducts in a cost effective and sustainable manner.
