Book excerpt: The Southern Forest Resource Assessment was initiated in 1999 as a result of concerns raised by natural resource managers, the science community, and the public regarding the status and likely future of forests in the South. These included changes to the regiongass forests brought about by rapid urbanization, increasing timber demand, increasing numbers of satellite chip mills, forest pests, and changing air quality. In response to these issues, leaders of four of the regiongass Federal natural resource agencies (USDA Forest Service, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service), and the Tennessee Valley Authority, agreed to work together to provide a careful evaluation of the overall condition and ongoing changes of southern forests. State forestry and fish and wildlife agencies were invited to take part and have actively contributed to the effort. The USDA Forest Service, through the Southern Region and Southern Research Station, has provided overall leadership. The Technical Report (General Technical Report SRS-53) and this Summary Report are the culmination of more than 3 years of effort by more than 25 scientists and analysts from the above agencies as well as southern universities. More than 100 scientists from universities, State and Federal agencies, industry, and conservation organizations provided peer reviews to enhance the reportsgas accuracy and completeness. This Summary Report is intended to provide its reader with an overview of the many forces of change affecting southern forests and the changes they produce. It summarizes the detailed results reported by Assessment Team members in individual chapters of the full Technical Report. The information contained in the body of the Assessment should enhance public understanding of southern forests, inform public debate, and improve public policies that result.

Book excerpt: The southern forest resource assessment provides a comprehensive analysis of the history, status, and likely future of forests in the Southern United States. Twenty-three chapters address questions regarding social/economic systems, terrestrial ecosystems, water and aquatic ecosystems, forest health, and timber management; 2 additional chapters provide a background on history and fire. Each chapter surveys pertinent literature and data, accesses conditions, identifies research needs, and examines the implications for southern forests and the benefits they provide.

Book excerpt: This report updates the findings of Chapter 16 of the Southern Forest Resource Assessment (Wear and Greis 2002), based on 2010 report year data. Analysis focuses on changes in the South's forest resources since 1999 using annual inventory, mapped-plot design data available for the first time for all 13 Southern States (excluding west Oklahoma and west Texas). The recently implemented inventory design is a drastic departure from the traditional periodic, variable-radius survey design used to collect past resource estimates. The authors advise caution when making direct comparisons to past estimates. The 2010 data perhaps best serve as a new baseline from which to analyze future changes in southern forest resources. The 2010 results estimate southern forest land area to be 208.8 million acres compared to 214.8 million estimated in 1999. The timberland component of forest land increased 4.0 million acres to 204.7 million. Total growing-stock volume amounted to 299.7 billion cubic feet in 2010, some 38.1 billion cubic feet more than reported in 1999. Hardwood species account for 58 percent of the current growing-stock volume. Nearly 222.8 billion cubic feet (74 percent) of the current growing stock is on nonindustrial private timberland. Growing-stock net annual growth averaged 13.1 billion cubic feet per year between 1999 and 2010. Net growth outpaced annual removals (9.5 billion cubic feet per year) by 3.6 billion cubic feet annually. Average annual mortality continued to trend upward, amounting to 2.7 billion cubic feet per year since 1999.
