Resource Management

This Resource Management section contains an organized body of scientific knowledge dealing with management issues for the purpose of providing a variety of goods, services, and forest conditions. The objective in this section is to feature management knowledge.

The resource management section contains the following sub-categories:

• Timber Management: The South is blessed with abundant and diverse forest resources. Today, forests cover approximately 215 million acres in the South, which represents 29 percent of the forest land in the United States.
• Recreation Management: This section is intentionally empty until we identify and import desirable content.
• Wildlife Management:
• Managing for Non-timber Forest Products:
• Managing for Intrinsic Ecosystem Values:
• Forest Operations: The methods, materials, and systems used to transform the forest are the technology of forest operations.
• Management Tools:
• Fire Management: Other than land clearing for urban development, no disturbance is more common in southern forests than fire. The pervasive role of fire predates human activity in the South but humans have magnified that role.
