1. Forest Management for Biomass for Bioenergy Production Activity

2. Objectives Identify forest type Identify opportunities for forest biomass production Identify site characteristics affecting forest biomass production Identify management options for maximizing biomass potential

3. Upland Hardwoods

7. Lowland Hardwoods

11. Natural Pine

15. Planted Pine

19. Mixed Oak-Pine

23. Conclusions All Southern forest types provide opportunities for biomass production Site characteristics affect the biomass opportunities that can be realized Management should be done with specific goals in mind
