Woody biomass resource of East Oklahoma, 1993. Forest Service resource bulletin

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7207841

Data from the 1993 east Oklahoma forest survey were used to derive fresh and dry biomass estimates for all trees, on timberland, greater than 1.0 inch in diamter at breast height (d.b.h.). There are 73.2 million fresh tons in softwood species and 203.0 million fresh tons in hardwood species. The woody biomass resource averages 27.5 and 43.4 tons per acre for softwoods and hardwoods where they occur, respectively. Most of this biomass is in the stem portion of the trees--84 percent for softwoods and 75 percent for hardwoods. Nonindustrial private landowners hold 38 and 76 percent of the total softwood and hardwood biomass resource, respectively.
