A well-done clearcut leaves no standing timber, little
disturbed soil, and avoids excessive rutting. This allows the next generation
of trees to utilize all of the site resources. Loblolly pine clearcuts
also have a lovely fragrance and provide an otherwise unseen view of
the mountains.
* Growth data represented here is based on one prism
point sample within the harvested stand. Monetary data is based on 2003
dollars and timber values. Actual payments to landowners are generally
50% of gross payments, but vary widely with distance to mills, terrain,
harvest size, etc.
