Abstract

Harvesting was conducted on 4.7 million acres, or 43 percent of the privately owned timberland, in east Texas between 1975 and 1986. Cutting was most intensive on forest industry lands, where 59 percent of the total timberland base underwent some form of harvesting. Seventy-nine percent of the pine and mixed pinehardwood stands receiving heavy cutting exhibited an adequate level of pine stocking following harvest.
