Multiresource inventories: forest biomass in Florida. Forest Service research paper

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6631350
Florida's 15.7 million acres of timberland support 864 million tons of forest biomass, or an average of 55.2 tons per acre. This total exceeds the green weight of conventional growing stock by 73 percent. More than 38 percent of the biomass is in stands where wood could be harvested for energy in harmony with conventional forestry practices. Over the next 2 decades, about 14.0 million tons of forest biomass could be harvested annually without adversely affecting timber supplies.
