Stem Cubic-Foot Volume Tables for Tree Species in the South

Stemwood cubic-foot volume tables are presented for 4 4 species and 1 0 species groups based on equations used t o estimate timber sale volumes on national forests in the South. Tables are based on taper data for 13,469 trees sampled from Virginia to Texas. A series of tables are presented for each species based on diameter a t breast height (d.b.h.) in combination w i th total height and height to a 4-inch diameter outside bark (d.0.b.) top. Volume tables are also presented based on d.b.h. in combination wi th height to a ?-inch d.0.b. top for softwoods and height to a 9-inch d.0.b. top for hardwoods. Sawtimber tables display saw-log stem volume by log (1 6-foot) and half log (8-foot) intervals and also show stemwood volume to a 7-inch d.0.b. top for softwoods, to a 9-inch d.0.b. top for hardwoods and to a 4-inch d.0.b. top for all species. Pulpwood tables show stemwood volume to a 4-inch d.0.b. top in 5-feet height intervals.

Stem Cubic-Foot Volume Tables for Tree Species in the Piedmont

Steamwood cubic-foot volume inside bark tables are presented for 16 species and 8 species groups based on equations used to estimate timber sale volumes on national forests in the Piedmont. Tables are based on form class measurement data for 2,753 trees sampled in the Piedmont and taper data collected across the South. A series of tables is presented for each species based on diameter at breast height (d.b.h.) in combination with total height and height to a 4-inch diameter outside bark (d.o.b.) top. Volume tables are also presented based on d.b.h. in combination with height to a 7-inch d.o.b. top for softwoods and height to a 9-inch d.o.b. top for hardwoods.

Effect of mid-rotation fertilization on stiffness and strength of loblolly pine wood

Trees sampled from a loblolly pine mid-rotation fertilization trial were used in this study. The study was laid out in a randomized complete block design with four levels of nitrogen fertilizer as treatments: control (000N), 112 (112N), 224 (224N), and 336 (336N) kg/ha of nitrogen, with each treatment replicated in 4 blocks. Two trees were destructively sampled from each plot giving a total of 32 trees. Bolts 0.6 m in length were collected from each tree (3 bolts per tree); with the midpoint of each bolt at heights of 2.4, 7.3 and 12.2 m from the base of the tree (each bolt represented the midpoint of standard 4.9 m saw logs). Static bending samples with dimensions 25 by 25 by 406 mm (radial, tangential and longitudinal dimensions respectively) were cut from the bolts that included the 25 mm of wood produced immediately following fertilization. Data on modulus of elasticity (MOE, stiffness) and modulus of rupture (MOR, strength) were collected from clear static bending samples. Based on the analysis of variance, no significant treatment effect was observed on MOE and MOR. However, MOE and MOR decreased in wood produced immediately after fertilization for trees which received the highest level of fertilization (336N). A decreasing trend in MOE and MOR with height was also present.

Stem cubic-foot volume tables for tree species in the Gulf and Atlantic Coastal Plain.

Steamwood cubic-foot volume inside bark tables are presented for 14 species and 9 species groups based on equations used to estimate timber sale volumes on national forests in the Gulf and Atlantic Coastal Plain. Tables are based on form class measurement data for 2,728 trees sampled in the Gulf and Atlantic Coastal Plain and taper data collected across the South. A series of tables is presented for each species based on diameter at breast height (d.b.h.) in combination with total height and height to a 4-inch diameter outside bark (d.o.b.) top. Volume tables are also presented based on d.b.h. in combination with height to a 7-inch d.o.b. top for softwoods and height to a 9-inch d.o.b. top for hardwoods.

Stem Cubic-Foot Volume Tables for Tree Species in the Upper Coastal Plain

Steamwood cubic-foot volume inside bark tables are presented for 11 species and 8 species groups based on equations used to estimate timber sale volumes on national forests in the Upper Coastal Plain. Tables are based on form class measurement data for 521 trees sampled in the Upper Coastal Plain and taper data collected across the South. A series of tables is presented for each species based on diameter at breast height (d.b.h.) in combination with total height and height to a 4-inch diameter outside bark (d.o.b.) top. Volume tables are also presented based on d.b.h. in combination with height to a 7-inch d.o.b. top for softwoods and height to a 9-inch d.o.b. top for hardwoods.
