Title	Economic considerations in use and management of Gambel oak for fuelwood
Creator	Fred J. Wagstaff
Contributor	Intermountain Forest and Range Experiment Station (Ogden, Utah)
Description	Samples of 90 trees in north-central Utah were examined to determine growth rates for Gambel oak.These growth data were used in an analysis to determine per-stem values of oak as residential fuelwood. Some oak stands in north-central Utah contain large amounts of wood. Current estimates of the stumpage value of better stands of oak range up to $2,300 per stocked acre. Oak in the sample achieved minimum harvest size in about 55 years. The annual rate of growth declined rapidly until leveling at about 2 percent. This annual percentage increase in volume is used in comparing the income from harvesting with the income of alternative investments. Current high rates of returns on alternative investments and the risks of holding oak on the stem indicate maximum return could be obtained by harvest as soon as the minimum size is reached.
