缅因州的佩诺布斯科特实验林 (PEF) 自 1950 年以来一直是美国农业部林业局北方研究站（前东北森林实验站）研究北方针叶树造林和生态学的场所。PEF 由林业工业购买并租给林业局进行长期实验，并于 1994 年捐赠给缅因大学基金会。从那时起，大学和林业局一直合作，推进 PEF 作为研究、示范和教育场所。该出版物报告了 PEF 成立 60 年（1950 年至 2010 年）的历史，并重点介绍了造林、生态学、生态生理学、养分循环、植物学和其他领域的研究成果。解决了数据管理和森林管理规划问题。还包括源自 PEF 研究的出版物参考书目，以及驻扎在那里 30 年的林业研究人员的回忆。半个多世纪以来，PEF 的工作已成为美国东北部阿卡迪亚森林地区和邻近加拿大的从业者和政策制定者的重要信息来源，并为国内和国际造林实践提供了信息。治疗应用和测量的长期一致性；站级复制；易于访问的数字数据、元数据和记录档案促进了数百项研究，并使 PEF 成为宝贵且极具影响力的研究场所。
The Penobscot Experimental Forest (PEF) in Maine has been the site of U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Northern Research Station (previously Northeastern Forest Experiment Station) research on northern conifer silviculture and ecology since 1950. Purchased by forest industry and leased to the Forest Service for long-term experimentation, the PEF was donated to the University of Maine Foundation in 1994. Since that time, the University and the Forest Service have worked in collaboration to advance the PEF as a site for research, demonstration, and education. This publication reports the history of the PEF during its first 60 years (1950 to 2010) and presents highlights of research accomplishments in silviculture, ecology, ecophysiology, nutrient cycling, botany, and other areas. Issues of data management and forest management planning are addressed. Also included is a bibliography of publications originating from research on the PEF, as well as recollections of a research forester stationed there for 30 years. More than half a century of work on the PEF has served as an important source of information for practitioners and policy makers in the Acadian Forest region of the northeastern United States and adjacent Canada, and informed the practice of silviculture nationally and internationally. Long-term consistency in treatment application and measurement; stand-level replication; and accessible, digital data, metadata, and records archives have facilitated hundreds of studies and made the PEF an invaluable and highly influential research site.
