Abstract

This report presents the principal findings of the sixth evaluation of South Carolina's forest resources. Data concerning the extent and condition of forest land, associated timber volumes, and rates of growth and removals are included. In accordance with the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act (RPA) of 1974, the sixth inventory of South Carolina's Forests was expanded to accommodate nontimber as well as timber resources. Information on nontimber commodities was also collected in the sixth survey. Nontimber evaluations, however, will be dealt with separately. This analysis focuses mainly on changes and trends in timber resources since 1978.
