“…These results suggest that biomass burning is less important in urban than in rural locations. This is consistent with a U. S. Department of Agriculture survey on residential wood consumption in the states of Michigan and Wisconsin, which found that most of each state's residential wood consumption took place in the more rural areas ( , ). On average, each rural household consumed about three times more wood than its urban counterpart.…”

“…On the basis of renewable energy annual reports from the electric power industry, more wood and wood waste are burned in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota compared to New York and Illinois (). Most residential wood burning occurred in lower southern Michigan and in mid to northern Wisconsin ( , ). Also, forest species composition is different in different regions.…”

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations were measured in precipitation samples collected from 1997 to 2003 at seven sites near the Great Lakes as a part of the Integrated Atmospheric Deposition Network. The 28-day integrated concentrations of most PAHs showed significant seasonal trends with higher concentrations in the winter and lower concentrations in the summer. Long-term decreasing trends were observed for all PAHs measured in precipitation at Chicago. At the sites on Lakes Superior, Michigan,,and Erie, most PAHs did not show significant long-term trends. At the two Canadian sites on Lakes Huron and Ontario, lower molecular weight PAHs (e.g., fluorene to pyrene) showed long-term decreasing trends; however, no long-term trends were observed for higher molecular weight PAHs at these sites. Interestingly, retene, a marker for wood burning, showed increasing trends at the sites on Lakes Superior and Michigan. For all the other PAHs, precipitation collected at Chicago had by far the highest PAH concentrations followed by the site on Lake Erie. Generally, the Lake Superior sites had the lowest PAH concentrations. However, retene concentrations in precipitation collected at the Lake Superior site were higher compared to Lakes Michigan and Erie, which indicate more residential wood burning in the far north of the Great Lakes basin.

“…Fuelwood cutters, on average, own fewer than 50 acres of timberland. They are among the one in four households in Wisconsin who burn fuelwood (May and Mace 1996). In addition to burning wood for home-heating, some burn wood in fireplaces for pleasure (May and Mace 1996).…”

“…The harvesting of fuelwood probably does not adversely impact industrial wood supplies because most of the harvested fuelwood comes from non-growing-stock trees-dead trees and harvest residues, such as limbs and branches. Only about a third of the harvested fuelwood in Wisconsin comes from growing-stock trees (May and Mace 1996).…”

one of the Nation's foremost authorities on forestland owners and their concerns, died of cancer in January 2000. Tom was a wonderful man, dedicated to his Nation, his work, and his family. A native of Illinois, he spent most of his professional career conducting surveys of forestland owners as a Forester with the USDA Forest Service at the Northeastern Station. Over the last 7 years, I had the good fortune to work with Tom on several projects. As I began conducting research in the landowner arena, Tom served as my mentor, giving me guidance and generously sharing his time and wisdom. We were preparing to conduct a survey of the Nation's forestland owners when he died. As a token of what Tom Birch has meant to the forestry community, to the Nation at large, and to me, I feel that it is fitting and proper to dedicate this publication to him. His memory will be perpetuated through his work and the impressions he left with those who knew him.
