Synopsis

This book addresses the importance of aboveground tree biomass in New York State, forming part of a national study that assesses the timber resources of each state and how they're being used. It provides a historical context by discussing biomass research and the energy crisis of the 1970s, which led to an increased interest in estimating biomass. The book further discusses the significance of the third inventory of New York's timber resources, focusing on aboveground biomass estimates, and explores the potential of using residues and standing timber to meet the growing demand for wood fiber. It concludes by emphasizing how the book's insights can help resource planners, timber harvesters, wood processors, and forest-land managers make informed decisions about the use of New York State's wood fiber supply.
