. As of 2011, South Carolina has 13,120.5 acres of forestland. This is nearly 67% of the state’s total land area. Out of all of the forestland in South Carolina, 88% is privately owned. 63% of the privately owned forestland is family-owned. The average family-owned forestland is 80 acres, and around 56% of private forest owners live on their land. 12% of South Carolina’s forestland is publicly owned, or owned and managed by forest industries. These forest industries own nearly 137,400 acres. This number is down 93% from where it was in 2001, and it is continuing to decline.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture, the total area of forestland in South Carolina slightly declined between 2011 and 2014. The 2014 estimate of forestland acreage in South Carolina was 12,974.1. This showed a decrease of about 1.12%. This seems to contradict the stats given by the South Carolina Forestry Association in 2015, which say that South Carolina’s forests contain 25 billion cubic feet of wood, which they say is more than at any time during the last century. The South Carolina Forestry Association also says that South Carolina’s hardwood and softwood forests are both growing more wood than is able to be harvested. The United States Department of Agriculture shows that the number of live trees on forestland in South Carolina actually decreased by 4.1 percent from 2011 to 2014. The number of live trees decreased from 10.1 billion in 2011 to 9.7 billion in 2014. The volume of
The Civil War had a multi-faceted effect on Charleston, South Carolina. As a result of the American Civil War, Charleston’s economy, agriculture, slavery, architecture, and lifestyle forever changed. Charleston, the site of great devastation during and after the American Civil War, took decades to recover. However, Charleston became the most beautiful city in South Carolina.
By comparing the topography, soil moisture levels, relative humidity, and wind speed of the upland Savanna and Bottomland forest we will be able to compare and contrast between these two vegetation zones. The data collected in the investigation will be used to test the hypothesis that the bottomland forest has a higher degree of shrub layer cover than the savanna. The higher level of shrubs in the bottomland forest might be attributed to the space available for shrub layer species. In addition, the data collected will confirm that the bottomland forest has a higher tree density than the
The book “Copper Sun” by Sharon Draper is a historical fiction story about slave trade and slave plantations. In the novel, the settings of Africa and South Carolina have many similarities and differences. Most of the story is based in these two settings. And without these settings the story would be very different.
Each colony was settled for different reasons such as religious freedom, riches or glory. Massachutes and South Carolina were both settled for very different reasons as well. Though they were very different there was also some similarities.
This document compares and contrasts three future views on timber supply in the southern region of the US as projected by three third-party forecasting service providers – Forest Economic Advisors (FEA), Resource Information Systems Inc. (RISI), and Forisk. All three forecasts lean heavily on data from the Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) National Program and Resource Planning Assessments (RPAs) in their projections. In addition, Forisk explicitly breaks down softwood growing stock inventory into pulp, CNS, and sawtimber inventories whereas FEA and RISI are explicit only about sawtimeber and overall softwood growing stock inventories. This further complicates the comparison among the three providers but allows us to gain some insights on the relative shares of the three above components of timber inventory in the South as projected by Forisk.
Move over, AFC! The NFC is in clear control of 2017’s most compelling NFL playoff races. Through Week 10, all four NFC divisions have surprising and competitive stories to tell, and it should only get better from here. Let’s individually break down each NFC division and discuss what short- and long-term results could be in store for the NFC crown competitors.
Why did the Southern states separate from the Union? In the 1850’s Southern States had different views of the Union. In the 1850’s Northern states and Southern states had a lot of differences. Southern states were adamant about having slavery and Northern states thought slavery was appalling and terrible and that it should be abolished.The two states also fought over economic differences because the North made a living based on factories and the South made a living based on slaves. They also fought over government power, the South thought they deserved more power than the Federal Government. Therefore it led to the Civil War. Southern States seceded from the Union because of slavery, economic differences and issues over government power.

There were many differences between the Northern and Southern part of Carolina. The Northern part had completely different geographic features then the southern part of Carolina. For instance the Northern part grew Tobacco, which was a cash crop for them, because the land and climate were just right for growing tobacco. In the southern part of the colony they grow rice, which they used as a staple crop which is a crop that many people can use to support themselves on they grew it. Rice also known as Carolina gold became a prosperous crop because of the African slaves. They knew how to flood fields to grow it and how to plant it. Also Northern part of Carolina was mainly made up of Virginian settlers. The settlers
Sectional differences between the North and the South have caused the two regions to disagree on multiple issues since the establishment of the United States. The North’s economy was primarily based on industry, while the South’s economy was primarily based on agriculture, which greatly changed the two section’s desire and need for slaves. When the United States began annexing new territory, disputes over the expansion of slavery became prominent. In the Missouri Compromise of 1820, Missouri was added to the Union as a slave state while Maine was added as a free state in order to maintain the balance between slave and free states, and slavery was prevented from extending above the 36th parallel line. In order to follow the guidelines of the Missouri Compromise, Southerners looked westward in order to expand slavery. Southerners supported the extension of slavery into western territories because it allowed them to use free labor to harvest cotton and other crops, and the addition of new slave states would strengthen the South in the House of Representatives, because more states would vote for policies that favored slaveholders. Northerners were against the expansion of slavery into Western territories because they believed slave labor undermined free white labor and took away job opportunities, and would disrupt the balance between free and slave states. Controversy over the expansion of slavery into western territories between the years of 1845-1861 contributed to the
When reading The South vs. The South I come across the problem that the white Southerners had with the Republican wanting to free slaves. The problem persisted as the war continued. The view of white Southerners and Republicans which were led by the president Lincoln were different.
within the south, many 20th-century libertarians concept that they had located a political culture helping free change (specially through low price lists) and confined government (the usage of the automobile of “states’ rights”). this view, however, ultimately rests on a privileged selection of the evidence and a good buy of historic forgetfulness, maximum in all likelihood the result of 20th-century records more so than whatever from the nineteenth.at the same time as maximum states within the confederacy absolutely exceeded ordinances of secession, south carolina, georgia, mississippi, texas, and virginia handed extra “declarations of causes,” imparting beneficial perception into the conventions’ political machinations and motivations.

The Wilderness Society’s Governing Council states that “No other ecosystem in the world can store as much carbon as do these forests, and it’s a capacity they have not yet begun to reach” (Bert5). Trees are very important to all of the living species. The cutting down of the trees is now nearly 4 billion trees or 35% of the total trees cut around the
