Forest Resources of South Carolina's Forests, 2001


Book Description

This bulletin describes forest resources of the Francis Marion and Sumter National Forests in the State of South Carolina. It is based on sampling from the eighth forest inventory conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Southern Research Station, Forest Inventory and Analysis Research Work Unit. Findings suggest that South Carolinas national forests are recovering from destruction caused by Hurricane Hugo in 1989. This bulletin addresses forest area estimates; timber growth, removals, and mortality; forest health; and trends across 23 years.




The State of South Carolina's Forests, 2001


Book Description

Forest land area in South Carolina amounted to 12.4 million acres, including 12.2 million acres of timberland. Nonindustrial-private timberland amounted to 8.9 million acres, a decline of less than 1 percent since 1993. Family forest owners dominate the private ownership group with 357,000 landowners who collectively control 7.1 million acres of forest land in the State. Timberland area under forest industry ownership continued to decline, falling from 2.3 million acres in 1993 to just over 2.0 million acres in 2001. Loblolly pine remains the predominant softwood forest type and occupied 5.0 million acres, up 16 percent since 1993. Planted pine stands amounted to 3.1 million acres and outnumbered stands of natural pine by 150,000 acres. Total volume in all live species amounted to 19.7 billion cubic feet, surpassing all previous inventory estimates. All live softwood volume increased 16 percent to 9.4 billion cubic feet, due primarily to an increase of 1.7 billion cubic feet in loblolly pine volume. Net annual growth for all live softwoods doubled since 1992, averaging 692 million cubic feet per year. Hardwood net growth rose 63 percent and averaged 306 million cubic feet per year since the previous survey. Growth exceeds removals for both species groups, reversing the negative relationship that resulted in the aftermath of Hurricane Hugo.

Forest Resources of the Lower Coastal Plain of South Carolina (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Forest Resources of the Lower Coastal Plain of South Carolina The original Forest Survey was made in the lower Coastal Plain of South Carolina about twelve years ago. Since then some of the best hardwood timberland has been flooded by waters of the Pinopolis Reser voir, furniture and veneer plants have increased their requirements for good - quality hardwoods, and large pulpmills have been built at Charles ton and Georgetown. In addition, new pulpmills in Georgia and North Carolina have added to the demand for pulpwood. All of this, superime posed upon a high level of lumber production, has caused a reduction in all classes of timber except the hardwoods and cypress of less than saw timber size.
