Biomass estimates of Black Oak Tree components

Technical Report · Tue Feb 29 23:00:00 EST 1972

OSTI ID:6790513

Tops of 26 black oak (Quercus velutina Lam.) 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.
