Status of Privately Owned Harvested Timberland in East Oklahoma, 1976-1986

Abstract

Commercial harvesting impacted 1 million acres, or 27 percent of the privately owned timerland in east Oklahoma between 1976 and 1986. Timberland was harvested in equal amounts on forest industry land and nonindustrial private land. Clearcutting was the preferred method of harvest on forest industry land. Nearly all harvesting on nonindustrial land was conducted as partial cuts. Stocking of pine on all private lands exceeded 60 percent in 58 percent of the pine and mixed pine-hardwood stands harvested during the period.
