Title: Dataset of forest landowner survey to assess interest in supplying woody biomass in two Southeastern United States fuelsheds

Abstract

This article presents data from a recent mail survey of forest landowners regarding their land ownership characteristics and motivations, past and future management activities, and owner perceptions of bioenergy and its impact on forests. The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled ‘Opportunities and Attitudes of Private Forest Landowners in Supplying Woody Biomass for Renewable Energy’. Here, the survey was conducted in the Atlantic Coastal Plain of the United States, where two primary ports exporting wood pellets to Europe are located. Specifically, the data include responses on forest characteristics, forest management activities, knowledge and interest in woody biomass for energy production, and sociodemographic variables. Additionally, landowner decisions for supplying wood for traditional forest products and biomass for energy were modeled. More than 2900 forest landowners were contacted, with 707 owners providing completed surveys.

Opportunities and attitudes of private forest landowners in supplying woody biomass for renewable energy

Journal Article Hodges, Donald G. ; Chapagain, Binod ; Watcharaanantapong, Pattarawan ; ... - Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews

Woody biomass has been identified as a source of dispatchable, renewable energy. Private lands supply the majority of the wood-based pellets that is produced in the southeastern United States (SE US) and shipped to countries in the European Union (EU) for energy generation. To assess the perspectives of potential suppliers of woody biomass in the SE US, nonindustrial private forest landowners were surveyed in the fuelsheds of the two primary ports for wood pellets exported to the EU. The survey assessed owners' characteristics, attitudes, and future management plans. Survey results were examined to explore the relationships among these factors andmore »« less

Dataset of timberland variables used to assess forest conditions in two Southeastern United States' fuelsheds

Journal Article Parish, Esther S. ; Dale, Virginia H. ; Tobin, Emma ; ... - Data in Brief

The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled “How is wood-based pellet production affecting forest conditions in the southeastern United States?” (Dale et al., 2017). This article describes how United States Forest Service (USFS) Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) data from multiple state inventories were aggregated and used to extract ten annual timberland variables for trend analysis in two case study bioenergy fuelshed areas. This dataset is made publically available to enable critical or extended analyses of changes in forest conditions, either for the fuelshed areas supplying the ports of Savannah, Georgia and Chesapeake, Virginia,more »« less

How willing are different types of landowner to supply hardwood timber residues for bioenergy?

Journal Article Dulys-Nusbaum, Elena ; Klammer, Sarah S. H. ; Swinton, Scott M. - Biomass and Bioenergy

Among bioenergy feedstocks, timber and crop residues offer low marginal cost of production and low risk of indirect land use change that can boost greenhouse gas emissions. The potential economic supply depends on the willingness of producers to make residues available. Previous studies show that willingness to supply annual crop residues depends upon prices, attitudes toward bioenergy, biophysical setting, and demographic traits. For timber residues, a smaller literature on non-industrial private forest owners found similar results, but little is published about what drives the availability of timber residues from large public and commercial forests. Combining survey data on small-scale forestmore »« less

Port Graham Community Building Biomass Heating Design Project

Technical Report Norman, Patrick ; Sink, Charles

Native Village of Port Graham completed preconstruction activities to prepare for construction and operations of a cord wood biomass heating system to five or more community buildings in Port Graham, Alaska. Project Description Native Village of Port Graham (NVPG) completed preconstruction activities that pave the way towards reduced local energy costs through the construction and operations of a cord wood biomass heating system. NVPG plans include installation of a GARN WHS 3200 Boiler that uses cord wood as fuel source. Implementation of the 700,000 Btu per hour output biomass community building heat utility would heat 5-community buildings in Port Graham,more »« less

Woody biomass resource of east Texas, 1992. Forest Service Resource Bulletin

Technical Report Rosson, J F

Data from the most recent east Texas forest survey were used to derive estimates of wood and bark biomass by counties. The information is important to resource managers, legislators, policymakers, and procurement specialists in regard to the extent, location, and potential availability of the woody biomass resource in the State. Wood and bark biomass estimates for all trees on timberland are summarized in the report. The resource is described by dimension (size), forest type, ownership, species, stand attributes, and tree merchantability class.
