Map of the state of Arkansas with colors indicating biomass production potential. Counties on the eastern border of the state show fairly consistent distribution of 250-500 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from crops and crop residues. The rest of the state shows distribution of 1-100 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from forest and primary mill residues, with a higher concentration in the southern counties.Follow the link to view the full size image.
