1. Which of the following factors increased nontarget mortality when tree of heaven was injected with imazapyr?

	a) Increased distance between the injected and noninjected trees.
	b) Decreased size of the neighboring noninjected trees
	c) Decreased height of the neighboring noninjected trees.

2. Injecting tree of heaven with imazapyr should only be prescribed when:

	a) There are environmentally sensitive species in the immediate area.
	b) The nearest neighbors are also targets for herbicide injection.
	c) Valuable timber resources are intermixed with patches of tree of heaven.

3. The species of the neighboring noninjected trees significantly influenced whether or not the tree was susceptible to imazapyr translocation. Which of these species was least impacted by herbicide translocation?

	a) Pawpaw
	b) Red maple
	c) Black cherry

4. In the Kittredge et al. article, the difference between parcels and ownerships is:

	a) Parcels are owned by people who live on their land, but ownerships are considered to be in absentee ownership
	b) Parcels are less than 10 acres in size, and ownerships are greater than 10 acres
	c) Parcels owned by the same person can be combined to generate an estimated aggregate ownership.

5. The USDA Forest Service's National Woodland Owner Survey [NWOS] estimates the number forest owners in each state. The difference between their methods and results and those explained by Kittredge et al. is:

	a) NWOS has a much larger sample size and provides inheritance information on future landowners, while Kittredge et al have a much smaller sample and provide no information on owner background
	b) NWOS relies on an equivalent number of sampled landowners, but provides nothing more than the number of acres, whereas Kittredge et al use a similar sample size but provide much more detail on owner demographic information.
	c) NWOS uses a dramatically smaller sample but provides a rich estimate of owner attitudes and behaviors, whereas Kittredge et al use a much larger sample and provide no owner background information.

6. What hack-and-squirt stem injection treatment was recommended for the control of striped maple?

	a) 6% Arsenal
	b) 9% Arsenal
	c) 50% Glypro Plus

7. Which herbicide treatment had the highest efficacy on striped maple sprout clumps?

	a) 6% Arsenal
	b) 9% Arsenal
	c) 100% Glypro Plus

8. Why was Glypro Plus not recommended for stem injection of striped maple?

	a) Caused damage to untreated crop trees
	b) Had poor efficacy of treated stems
	c) Had poor control of sprout clumps

9. What are the five major question themes resulting from the Minnesota family forest landowner focus groups?

	a) Monetary, environmental benefits, social acceptability, program administration, and family ownership concerns
	b) Certification benefits, feasibility concerns, loss of tradition, loss of income, and eminent domain.
	c) Monetary, certification benefits, land management control, program eligibility, and program administration.

10. Based on Minnesota family forest landowner focus group findings, what does the ideal certification program entail for participants?

	a) A professional forester would be in charge of the management of the land. The landowner and forester would cooperatively develop a management plan to guide forest practices. Frequent onsite inspections would ensure that the plan is being carried out. The results of inspections would be disseminated to the public.
	b) A forest landowner association would run the program and landowners would be involved in every step of the process. Forest management plans would not be required and landowners would not have to give notification before harvesting. On site inspections would be carried out, but results would not be shared with the public.
	c) The local government would work with land owners to develop a certification program. In lieu of forest management plans, yearly inspections would be required. Results of the inspections would not be shared with the public. Landowners would receive local tax breaks for participating.
