This research examines the effect of recent landownership changes and new management stewardship
mechanisms (e.g., forest certification and working forest conservation easements) on disturbance rates in Maine
forests. We quantify forest disturbance rates between 2000 and 2007 and forest cover type composition in 2007,
as detected by Landsat Thematic Mapper...
