In addition to teaching students and conducting research, University of Maine faculty serve the public by applying their expertise to the needs of citizens, businesses, local governments and the State. The White Papers series below provides research-based information on issues of public concern. The use of technical terms has been minimized to reach as large an audience as possible. While each paper attempts to present the state of scientific knowledge on a specific topic, opinions are those of the authors and not the University of Maine or the University of Maine System. There is no charge for the papers. Contact the College at 105 Winslow Hall, University of Maine, Orono, ME 04469 or 207-581-3229, e-mail jround@apollo.umenfa.maine.edu.
