Moisture Content of Beetle-Killed Southern Pine Timber in Eastern Texas

In October 1981, beetle-killed southern pine trees were harvested to provide data for validating a sawmill decision model. As part of that study, moisture content samples were taken at the butt of the tree, at the top of the butt log, and above the last log if more than one log was taken. Analysis of variance showed that moisture content varied significantly by time since death and position in the tree. The data are presented in tabular and graphic form.
