      abstract = {Data on landownership in general and corporate  landownershi p in particular are meager. This study  examines Security and Exchange Commission reporting  requirements for publicly traded corporations, aggregates  the available data, assesses the data source, and suggests  means to improve the data. Landholdings of 568 firms, each  reporting holdings of 500 or more acres, total 57.8 million  acres of owned land, 80.9 million acres of leaseholds, and  an undisclosed interest in 163.0 million acres in the  United States. Most owned land is used for timber  production. Helpful amendments to reporting requirements  from a research perspective are the reporting of an  inventory of acres owned and controlled, by State and use  category.},
