Biomass estimates of black-oak-tree components

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5517974

Tops of 26 black oak sawtimber trees from four Tennessee Valley locations were weighed by component parts (leaves, twigs, branches, etc.). Samples were oven-dried to determine moisture content and to establish bark-wood relationships. Merchantable bole, stump, and root component weights were calculated from tree measurements. Findings for black oak sawtimber trees indicate that over 40 percent of the dry wood and bark fiber content above the stump is contained in the top.
