Georgia Harvest and Utilization Study, 2009 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781507625477)

Forest planners and managers have a continuing need for information about the timber resource, and the public is expressing increasing interest in the effects of logging. Therefore, up-to-date data on the Nation's forests-and how the forests are changing-are essential to well informed decisionmaking. Information about the condition of and changes in the timber resource of Georgia comes from three primary sources: (1) inventory plots, which describe current conditions and quantify changes due to mortality, growth, removals, and land use; (2) mill surveys, which quantify timber volume harvested and delivered to primary wood products facilities, i.e., sawmills, pulpmills, veneer mills, composite panel mills, and pole mills; and (3) logging utilization studies, which characterize harvest operations and quantify the timber volume that is cut and utilized, and that portion that is left in the forest.
