Abstract

Presents findings and analysis of woody biomass based on the fifth forest survey of Alabama (1982). The green weights by component-total, merchantable, residual, sapling, and rough and rotten-are presented by various categories such as ownership, forest type, physiographic class, size class, basal area, species, and age. After-harvest residual is also presented and discussed.
