Abstract

Forests cover 4.9 million acres or 49 percent of the land in the 18 counties that comprise east Oklahoma (figure 1). Of this total forest area, about 4.3 million acres are classed as commercial forest land. The remaining 600,000 acres are either too low in productivity to be considered commercial or occur on public land reserved for nontimber use.
