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.
Project Report No. 65, Stumpage Price Trends Of Sawtimber And Pulpwood In East Texas And Louisiana, Dean W. Coble, Shiaolin Cheng
Project Report No. 65, Stumpage Price Trends Of Sawtimber And Pulpwood In East Texas And Louisiana, Dean W. Coble, Shiaolin Cheng
Informal Project Reports
A fifteen-year stumpage price update and analysis for pine and hardwood in East Texas are reported. Thepricesofsawtimberandpulpwoodare presented for both pine and hardwood plantations by using 1988 to 2003 stumpage prices from the Texas Forest Service and Louisiana Department of Agriculture. Timber prices increased steadily from 1988 to the late 1990's, peaked, then declined into 2003 for both Louisiana and Texas. Louisiana prices, though, have remained higher than those for Texas.
Establishment Of Upland And Bottomland Hardwood Agroforestry Plantations In Tennessee And Mississippi, David Michael Casey
Establishment Of Upland And Bottomland Hardwood Agroforestry Plantations In Tennessee And Mississippi, David Michael Casey
Masters Theses
The feasibility of alley cropping as a means of afforestation was studied across seven different study sites in western Tennessee and northern Mississippi. Seeds were collected from 11 oak (Quercus spp) species and black walnut (Jug/ans nigra L.) trees in the region and grown under nursery protocols that are designed to produce seedlings of optimal size in one year. Seedlings were lifted by genetic family after one year and initial seedling measurements were recorded. Four bottomland studies and three upland studies were then sorted into an incomplete block design with multiple species and families within each block. …
Project Report No. 64, Observed Growth And Yield Of Loblolly And Slash Pine Plantations In East Texas, Dean W. Coble, Shiaolin Cheng
Project Report No. 64, Observed Growth And Yield Of Loblolly And Slash Pine Plantations In East Texas, Dean W. Coble, Shiaolin Cheng
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.

Fusiform Rust Trends In East Texas: 1969 To 2002, Dean W. Coble, Young-Jin Lee
Fusiform Rust Trends In East Texas: 1969 To 2002, Dean W. Coble, Young-Jin Lee
Data
Fusiform rust ( Cronartium quercuum [Berk.] Miyabe ex Shirai f. sp. fusiforme) infection rates in East Texas increased to nearly 50 percent in slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm.) and about 15 percent in loblolly pine ( Pinus taeda L.) plantations during the 18-year period from 1969 to 1987. New data from the East Texas Pine Plantation Research Project showed that fusiform rust infection rates in slash pine stabilized around 20 - 30 percent after 1987, then decreased to about 15 percent by 2002. For loblolly pine, the rates stabilized around 10 percent after 1987, then decreased to around 5 percent …
The Double-D Cell For Assembling Hardware In Upholstered Furniture Production, S. L. Hunter, Steven H. Bullard, P. H. Steele, W. D. Motsenbocker
The Double-D Cell For Assembling Hardware In Upholstered Furniture Production, S. L. Hunter, Steven H. Bullard, P. H. Steele, W. D. Motsenbocker
Faculty Publications
This is the first case study in a series of studies that relate specifically to the development and application of lean manufacturing techniques of furniture and wood component supplying industries. Case study one is an example of how a subassembly process in an upholstered furniture facility was re-configured from a traditional flow line to a “Double-D” manufacturing cell. This case study provides general information about lean manufacturing and how a lean manufacturing system can be implemented, followed by a detailed description of Franklin Corporation’s adoption of a new type of manufacturing cell—the “Double-D”. A discussion of the original state of …
Parallel Pull Flow: A New Lean Production Design, S. L. Hunter, Steven H. Bullard, P. H. Steele, W. D. Motsenbocker
Parallel Pull Flow: A New Lean Production Design, S. L. Hunter, Steven H. Bullard, P. H. Steele, W. D. Motsenbocker
Faculty Publications
This case study is #2 in a series of studies that relate specifically to the development and application of lean manufacturing techniques for the furniture and wood component supplying industries. Case study #2 is an example of how productivity can be increased in a furniture manufacturing organization by using a new lean production design termed Parallel Pull Flow (PPF). This case study provides information about lean manufacturing and how a lean manufacturing system can be implemented, followed by a detailed case study of a furniture manufacturing company’s adoption of a new final assembly PPF lean production system.
Fire In Southern Appalachians: Fuels, Stand Structure And Oaks, David L. Loftis, Mary A. Arthur, Rex Mann, Jeffrey Lewis
Fire In Southern Appalachians: Fuels, Stand Structure And Oaks, David L. Loftis, Mary A. Arthur, Rex Mann, Jeffrey Lewis
JFSP Research Project Reports
Managers responsible for maintaining the diversity and productivity of Southern Appalachian forests are increasingly turning to prescribed fire as an important management tool in oak dominated forests. The decision to use fire with increasing frequency and spatial extent is based, in part, on an emerging sense of the prehistoric significance of fire in this landscape and its potential to control the proliferation of fire-sensitive competitors in contemporary forests. While it is well documented that fire has been an important ecological force in Southern Appalachian forests for a very long time, there has been little research to demonstrate that prescribed fire …
