This resource bulletin highlights the principal findings of the seventh forest survey of Alabama. Field work began in May 1997 and was completed in April 2000. Six previous surveys, completed in 1936, 1953, 1963, 1972, 1982, and 1990, provide statistics for measuring changes and trends over the past 64 years. This report primarily emphasizes changes and trends since 1990 and discusses the extent and condition of forest land, associated timber volumes, and rates of timber growth, and removals.
