Abstract

Repeated timber utilization studies in Pennsylvania suggest that the recovery of growing-stock timber has improved over the years. Currently 95 percent of the inventory growing stock volume is being recovered from harvested trees. There are many opportunities to recover additional amounts of biomass from nongrowing-stock trees and logging residues. Until recently, these operations were regarded as unprofitable.
