It has been my privilege to serve in this capacity, and I look forward to continuing to help into the future with the Bulletin. I am very willing to help with the transition in any way I can--now all we need is someone to step up to the plate!

Re: 3-Point Derivation of Dominant Tree Height Equations
I'm not sure this will have much impact on how forest growth is simulated by the Forest Service...This paper was more intended as a alternative way to derive height curves using information from a range of tree sizes. Site index curves are generally derived for simplicity of use, rather than to desc...

Big Oak Tree State Park (BOTSP) is located in the Mississippi River Alluvial Plain near the community of East Prairie, Missouri. This state park, which now covers nearly 1,029 acres, was established in 1938 to protect a remnant 80-acre stand of old bottomland hardwood timber, including the iconic “b...

Re: Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge Part II
Larry--let me know the next time you plan to head over to Noxubee to measure some trees...I'll see if I can't join you. I've been looking for an excuse to get out and measure some big loblolly pines, and this sounds like as good of a place as any!

Re: Bois D'Arc Wildlife Management Area
Jess--You may want to explore the Rick Evans Grandview Prairie WMA (http://www.agfc.com/hunting/Pages/wmaDe ... x?show=551) for more examples of bois d'arc; I remember lots of it amongst the grasslands.

Re: Bulletin of ENTS, Volume 9, 2014, Winter and Spring
Karlheinz--Good eye! I had copied your text into a previous article to help speed the process (allows me to use the existing formatting); I then delete the other article's text. Or at least I usually remember to--in this case, I missed some! I will correct this and send Ed Frank a new version of thi...

Re: Some international scientific recognition for the NTS

Some international scientific recognition for the NTS
While searching a journal recently for some unrelated research articles, I came across the following studies that had been recently published that may be of interest to NTS: Larjavaara, M. 2014. The world's tallest trees grow in thermally similar climates. New Phytologist 202:344–349. doi: 10.1111/n...
