Estimating fuelwood yields from overstocked pine regeneration areas

OSTI ID:5795313

Overstocked stands of small, young pines are immediately available sources of biomass in some areas. Biomass yield data are needed to evaluate the economic potential of thinning swaths in dense stands for harvest of fuelwood. This note describes results of inventories of dense stands and presents a method for estimating potential biomass yields from thinning. The method requires relatively few measurements and provides reasonably accurate estimates. (Refs. 6).
