Biomass estimates of black oak tree components

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6680308

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% of the dry wood and bark fiber content above the stump is contained in the top.
