Computer Program for Updating Timber Resource Statistics by County, With Tables for Mississippi

摘要

Accurate inventories of county timber volume, growth, and cut are made in Southern States at approximately 10-year intervals. While these data meet most requirements at the time of measurement, rapid changes in southern forests make updating of resource statistics necessary. Foresters and others need frequent and accurate estimates of change to formulate forestry programs and to evaluate production trends. Accurate estimates for individual counties are particularly important where industrial expansion is being considered.
