Abstract

A knowledge of the relative capacity of major forest types to support various wildlife species is of great value in deciding where and when to conduct intensive habitat and game management programs. Browse production and utilization data are useful in determining carrying capacity values and relative distribution of deer. In an effort to obtain this information on the Uwharrie National Forest, a survey was conducted using a procedure developed earlier in Ge0rgia.l This procedure makes use of the continuous forest inventory as a sampling vehicle.
