Abstract
This report provides detailed estimates and highlights key findings from Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) data collected across the State of Louisiana from 2009 to 2017. Estimates of forest area, volume, biomass, and timber product output are provided across land ownerships, forest types, and forest demographics throughout the State. Louisiana covers approximately 34 million acres, 15 million acres (42 percent) of which is considered forest land. This report evaluates trends in land-use change as well as current forest land conditions and summarizes them within the context of the overall Louisiana landscape.
