Nearly 2.6 million acres of forest land in Iowa are classified as timberland. The estimate of growing-stock volume on timberland is 3.0 billion cubic feet. All live aboveground tree biomass on timberland is estimated at 106.1 million dry tons. Known pathogens and pests in Iowa?s forests include oak wilt and gypsy moth.
