Project Report No. 66, Metric Volume And Biomass Prediction Equations For Loblolly And Slash Pine Trees Planted In Unmanaged Pine Plantations In East Texas, Dean W. Coble, Young-Jin Lee, J. David Lenhart
Project Report No. 66, Metric Volume And Biomass Prediction Equations For Loblolly And Slash Pine Trees Planted In Unmanaged Pine Plantations In East Texas, Dean W. Coble, Young-Jin Lee, J. David Lenhart
Informal Project Reports
Metric equations are presented to predict the volume of wood and/or biomass contained in individual loblolly (Pinus taeda, L.) and slash (Pinus elliottii, Englem.) pine trees growing in unmanaged pine plantations in east Texas. Taper equations are also presented for both species that describe tree form in metric units.

Informal Project Reports
The amount of forestland in east Texas has been estimated at 11.8 million acres, with approximately 2.5 million acres classified as pine plantations. The majority ofthese plantations are owned by forest industry (71 percent), while non-industrial private forest landowners represent the next largest shareholder (23 percent). Pine plantations are typically managed to produce timber, so information is needed to make informed management decisions. Growth is one piece of information that managers often rely upon in their decision-making process.
