. 1980-1990 national program of research for forests and associated rangelands. --. Forests and forestry Research United States; Rangelands Research United States. Present And Projected Forestry Research Effort The combined university-USDA research effort is outlined for the base year 1980 with projections for 1985 and 1990 for both the universities and the USDA Forest Service. The research is divided among seven research program areas, each encompassing two or three research problem subject categories. For each problem area, we also describe the types of studies that would be involved and identify the regions where the studies would be given special emphasis. The seven research program areas are: 1. Multiresource inventory, appraisal, and evaluation 2. Timber management 3. Forest protection 4. Harvesting, processing, and marketing of wood products 5. Forest watersheds, soils, and pollution 6. Forest range, wildlife, and fisheries habitat development 7. Forest recreation and environmental values All research efforts are expressed in Scientist Years (SY's). A scientist year includes all technical and clerical support, together with facility, administrative, and other operational costs necessary to support one scientist for 1 year. A scientist employed by the Federal government is defined as one who holds a grade of GS-11 or higher. A university scientist is con- sidered to hold the equivalent rank of assistant pro- fessor or above. Although the research program and problem areas appear to be independent, research often transcends the boundaries of a particular area. For example, much of the research effort planned for forest protec- tion, watersheds, harvesting, and other programs (as evidenced by the descriptions of some of the proposed studies) will be helpful in enhancing forest recreation and environment values.
