East Texas pineywoods

Informally Refereed

Abstract

Pine timber volume in east Texas has risen sharply since the middle 1950's. The forests now support 6.3 billion cubic feet in softwood growing stock trees at least 5 inches in diameter. This volume-nearly all southern yellow pine but including a little cypress and eastern redcedar-is some 40 percent greater than that recorded in the previous survey of 1955. The volume in softwoods large enough to contain at least one saw log is 25.8 billion board feet, an increase of 46 percent.
