The effort was led by Dr.           Wendy Loya and Dr. Kurt Pregitzer of Michigan Technological University           in close cooperation with NC�s Houghton Work Unit. Using the           Rhinelander, Wisconsin, Free Air Carbon Enrichment (FACE) site, the           study compared soil carbon formation rates in northern forests grown           in the presence of two gases� elevated carbon dioxide (CO2)           and ozone (O3)�with forests grown in elevated CO2           alone. When O3 was in the mix, forests accrued 51 percent           less total soil carbon and 48 percent less decay-resistant carbon. The           "ozone effect" is important, since this component of smog has risen 35           percent over the last century. "Large areas of the Earth are already           exposed to ground-level ozone at concentrations known to be toxic to           plants," says Pregitzer. "But few studies have examined ozone�s effect           on naturally growing forests, and we�re the only one evaluating both           CO2 and ozone."$21 Million Gift to Hardwood CenterCharles Michler, Director of NC�s           Hardwood Tree Improvement and Regeneration Center (HTIRC), loves to           talk to landowner groups. As a speaker, he�s honest about what it will           take to make fine hardwoods even finer: "I always mention the need for           graduate students, for land for trials, and for an endowment�a way of           financing longterm research."Hardwood Planting TipsNC researchers and colleagues have issued           a series of publications entitled Planting and Care of Fine Hardwood           Seedlings. The topics include planting tips, soils, nursery           production, finance, plantings for wildlife, and wildlife damage to           hardwood plantations.Down Woody Matter MattersNC�s Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA)           crews are taking a new measure of forest health by counting the downed           woody material (DWM) that crunches and decays underfoot. "Fallen           trees, branches, and leaf litter play an important role in policy and           management decisions," says North Central forester Chris Woodall,           FIA�s National Indicator Advisor for DWM, "especially when it comes to           fire-risk mitigation, habitat conservation, and carbon accounting."Fuels Reduction RoadshowFIA researchers are making the most of           DWM data by creating new mapping and modeling technologies. These           kinds of tools were on display at a recent "Fuels Reduction Roadshow"           at Eastern Region headquarters in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. **2003**FallMapshots in Time: New Web Site                 Captures a Changing MidwestMaps on the Changing Midwest Landscape           Web page depict changes in human population, housing density, forest           cover types, relative abundance of birds, oak decline, and more.Oak Wilt CD Puts Expert Seminars                 in Your LaptopJennifer Juzwik, and a multidisciplinary           team developed a multimedia CD titled "Oak Wilt: People and Trees--A           Community approach to Management"Remembering Dave ShrinerAfter a valiant struggle against cancer,           Assistant Director David Shriner passed away at his family home in           Kingston, Tennessee, July 25, 2003, leaving behind a sad NC workforce.Early Career Award"A Day in the Life of a Marten"                 Researcher, Pat Zollner, Wins Early Career AwardA Change of Leadership at North                 CentralRobert Doudrick and James Gooder will           oversee the Station's research work units and, with the rest of North           Central's Executive Team, establish Station direction and program,           including budget.SpringFire Preparedness: It Takes a VillageIndividuals can do much to reduce risk to           their own properties, but communities are the real key to wildfire           preparedness.New Tools for Fire Weather ForecastersThe dream of a Web-based fire-weather           prediction tool for our region is becoming a reality.Gaining Community Trust: Public           Perceptions of Fire Management TreatmentCitizens respond to fire management           treatments in various ways, depending on where they live, how much           they know about wildland fires, and how they perceive the risks           imposed by the threat of fire and fire treatments.A Window into Succession: Adding Fire           Risk to LANDISThe new LANDIS will simulate:          - changes in live and dead biomass, and quality and quantity of             fuel, leading the health of the land. to a more accurate prediction             of fuel buildup and fire�s response to fuels
