Woody biomass resource of Tennessee, 1989. Forest Service resource bulletin

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5499302

Data from the 1989 Tennessee forest survey were used to derive fresh and dry biomass estimates for all trees, on timberland, greater than 1.0 inch in diameter at breast height (d.b.h.). There are 152.2 million fresh tons in softwood species and 1,039.6 million fresh tons in hardwood species. The woody biomass resource averages 25.1 and 79.7 tons per acre for softwoods and hardwoods where they occur, respectively. Most of the biomass is in the stem portion of trees--82 percent for softwoods and 75 percent for hardwoods. Nonindustrial private landowners hold 70 and 81 percent of the total softwood and hardwood biomass resource, respectively.
