Waldrop, T A; Brooks, Jr, R T

Estimates are presented for the woody biomass inventory; growth, removals, and net change of growing stock biomass; and the biomass potentially available each year for energy in each of 62 geographic units in 13 southeastern states. The biomass inventory for the entire region is approximately 13.9 billion green tons or 67.5 tons per acre of commercial forest land. Annual biomass growth of growing stock exceeds removals by 161 million green tons or 0.8 ton per acre. Potential annual energy wood totals 246 million tons (1.2 tons per acre) which represents an energy source of approximately 2 quads. 10 refs., 33 figs., 24 tabs.
