Aspen growth and harvesting effects

A graduate assistantship at the M. S. is available in The College of Natural
Resources at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point for a suitably
qualified student.

The project is a collaborative one involving participants/collaborators from
the U. S. Forest Service and the Dept. of Soil Science at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison.  The general objective of the research project involves
assessment of the early establishment and growth of aspen as well as key
soil physical properties following organic matter removals and simulated
soil compaction treatments in the Upper Great Lakes Region.  The project is
part of a long-term study instituted by the U.S. Forest Service in 1992.

The successful student applicant will focus principally on the below-ground
biomass response and foliar chemistry of the aspen regeneration.  The
position is available starting January 1999.

The assistantship is in the vicinity of $9,600/yr and may include an
out-of-state tuition waiver.  Minimum qualifications include a BS degree in
forestry, soils, or related science field; good written and oral
communication skills; and an interest in the stated area of research.
Applicants should send a letter or e-mail message indicating their interest,
qualifications, and a list of three references with contact information to:
