The summer is warm and dry with mean maximum temperature of 91.6°F while winter is mild with mean minimum temperature of 38°F. There were no statistical differences between mean annual temperature and precipitation on the 1951-80 and 1901-80 periods or between any 2 normal periods. Rain days occurred once in every 4 days …
A Demonstration Of Cartographic Modeling For Evaluating Natural Resources, Olufemi Amos Olaleye
A Demonstration Of Cartographic Modeling For Evaluating Natural Resources, Olufemi Amos Olaleye
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Cartographic modeling was used to evaluate the natural resources of the Angelina National Forest in East Texas. With the aid of the Map Analysis Package, three models were developed to evaluate historic changes, project future trends and to determine the proximity of resource to a specific location. Accuracies of results were determined at two different scales. MAP estimates at the smaller scales were about 92% and about 98% at the larger scale. Boundary cells were found to be important in improving accuracies of MAP estimates at the smaller scale. The performance of a representative low-cost grid-based system in building cartographic …

The Effects Of Nitrogen And Phosphorus Fertilizer On A Young Loblolly Pine Plantation On Lignite Mine Spoil In East Texas, Martin Andrew Shupe
The Effects Of Nitrogen And Phosphorus Fertilizer On A Young Loblolly Pine Plantation On Lignite Mine Spoil In East Texas, Martin Andrew Shupe
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Five levels of nitrogen fertilizer combined with three levels of phosphorus fertilizer were tested in a two year-old loblolly pine plantation on a lignite mine spoil in East Texas. Growth parameters, foliar and spoil nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations were measured after two growing seasons. Nitrogen increased diameter growth during the first year, and foliar nitrogen increased with increasing fertilizer rates for both years. Phosphorus increased height during the first year and over both years combined and also increased diameter during the second year and over both years combined. Foliar phosphorus was increased by nitrogen in the first year. Spoil phosphorus …

The importance of nonindustrial private forest( NIPF) lands to national timber output potential is well-documented (USDA Forest Service 1981, 1982; Wall 1981). The NIPF sector controls 58 percent of the Nation's commercial fm·est area, compared to 14- percent in forest industry holdings, and 28 percent in public forests (Figure 1). Approximately 71 percent of the commercial forest area in the eastern United States is held by the NIPF sector.
Role Of Company Sales In Funding Research And Development By Major U.S. Paper Companies, Steven H. Bullard, Thomas J. Straka
Role Of Company Sales In Funding Research And Development By Major U.S. Paper Companies, Steven H. Bullard, Thomas J. Straka
Faculty Publications
Forestry research is conducted by state and federal agencies and by many private firms. Studies of research productivity and efficiency are increasingly common in forestry, due to the greater scale of research activity, and increasing competition for both public and private funds. Research evaluations rely on accurate measures of research inputs and outputs. This article presents an equation to predict research inputs for five major firms in the U.S. pulp and paper industry. Pulp and paper research by major U.S. companies is very closely related to corporate sales each year. The relationship empirically supports important assumptions that have been used …
Rates Of Return On Silvicultural Practices, Steven H. Bullard, Bobb L. Karr
Rates Of Return On Silvicultural Practices, Steven H. Bullard, Bobb L. Karr
Faculty Publications
Anticipated rates of return can help landowners and forest managers evaluate hardwood control and many other stand treatments. A simple microcomputer model is discussed which displays rates of return for specific stand treatment conditions. The program can be used before or after taxes and with or without inflation. The model displays rates of return for ranges of silvicultural treatment costs and expected harvest value increases, thus providing information for evaluating treatments where growth responses or future prices are difficult to estimate.
Potential Reasons For Publicly Funded Forestry Research, Steven H. Bullard
Potential Reasons For Publicly Funded Forestry Research, Steven H. Bullard
Faculty Publications
The general rationale for public support of research and specific reasons for support of particular research areas are of potential concern to many people. Those directly concerned with research ·funding and its rationale, for example, range from legislators to research administrators, scientists and graduate students. Public support of specific research areas is often defended for socio~polit~ ical and economic reasons. As an example, although private-sector research in forestry is conducted by large, diversified firms, the benefits of even highly applied research can be difficult to capture. Public support is necessary in such cases, since social benefits exceed the benefits considered …

The Msu Student Chapter, Society Of American Foresters, Steven H. Bullard
Faculty Publications
Forestry students at Mississippi State are encouraged to participate in organizations that strengthen their sense of professionalism and point them toward continued development after graduation. The Student Chapter of the Society of American Foresters is one of those organizations. Forestry students who take part in its activities are aided in developing communication and leadership skills that are difficult to learn in a classroom. Forestry is not just trees. Forestry students deal with the biology of the forest and the economics of timber. They learn how to use these tools to achieve a forest landowner's objectives. Foresters not only make decisions-they …
Wilderness And Natural Areas In The Eastern United States: A Management Challenge, David Kulhavy, Richard N. Conner
Wilderness And Natural Areas In The Eastern United States: A Management Challenge, David Kulhavy, Richard N. Conner
Faculty Publications
"The purpose of this symposium is not to debate either the concept of wilderness or the amount of wilderness appropriate for the United States. These are not debatable issues for present purposes. The Congress has spoken twice. The Wilderness Act of 1964 (PL 88-577) and the amendments of 1975, known as the "Eastern Wilderness Act" (PL 93-622), both set-aside existing areas as wilderness and established procedures for consideration of additions to the wilderness system. The purpose of this symposium is to consider the management of wilderness areas over time. In a very real sense, if those areas established as wilderness …

Fusiform Rust Trends In East Texas, Ellis V. Hunt Jr., J. David Lenhart
Fusiform Rust Trends In East Texas, Ellis V. Hunt Jr., J. David Lenhart
Faculty Publications
Four surveys of pine plantations in East Texas between 1969 and 1984 indicate that fusiform rust (Cronartium quercuum (Berk.) Miyabe ex Shirai f. sp. fusiforme) infection rates are increasing on slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm. var. elliottii) and either decreasing or about constant on loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.). Currently, stem infections occur on about 1 in 2 slash pines and 1 in 14 loblolly pines. South. J. Appl. For. 10:215-216, Nov. 1986.

Most foresters and forest landowners are aware that money has a time value. A dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow. If you borrow $1,000 from the bank today, you would have to pay back more than $1,000 in 90 days. The term forest economists use for this concept is the t :!me value of money: the closer to today you receive a sum of money, the greater its present value.
