and stem d.b.h. Diameters were measured with a
metal tape; total heights were measured with a clino-
meter. Weights were derived for each inventory
sample tree by applying regression equations and
coefficients developed by the Southeastern Forest Ex-
periment Station (Clark and others 1985, 1986a,
1986b; Clark and Saucier 1990; Clark and Schroeder
1986; Saucier and Clark 1985).
The following equations were used:
for trees 21.0 inch and <5.0 inches in d.b.h.

Y=a(D*)
for softwood trees 25.0 inches and <9.0 inches in d.b.h.
and hardwood trees 25.0 inches and <11.0 inches in
d.b.h.
Y=a(D°TH)

for softwood trees 29.0 inches in d.b.h. and hardwood
trees 211.0 inches in d.b.h.

Y =a"(D®)*(THY

where:
Y = fresh or ovendry weight (depending on
coefficients used)
D = tree d.b.h.
TH = total height of the tree

a’, a", b, c = regression coefficients.

Species-specific coefficients were used to estimate
fresh and dry weights of trees 21.0 inch in d.b.h. When
species-specific coefficients were not available for a
particular species, general coefficients for softwoods,
soft hardwoods (specific gravity <0.50), and hard
hardwoods (specific gravity >0.50) were substituted.
It has been demonstrated that these general coeffi-
cients derived from grouped species produce reliable
estimates for regional surveys (Freedman 1984).

Wood and bark weights were computed for two com-
ponents of each tree: (1) the total tree above a 1-foot
stump to the uppermost twig tips and (2) the main
stem above a 1-foot stump to a stem terminus of 4 in-
ches in diameter outside the bark. A third tree com-
ponent, crown weight, was derived by subtracting
stem weight from total tree weight. No merchan-
tability standard was accounted for in the main stem;
all stems were estimated to a 4-inch top.

STATISTICAL RELIABILITY

Three types of error were associated with these es-
timates: (1) estimating error, (2) application error,
and (3) sampling error. Temporal and economic con-

straints govern the standard of accuracy of the statis-
tics because it is imperative, in large regional surveys,
that the factors of time and budget be maintained at
optimum levels.

Estimating error involves three basic areas: (1)
biased error, caused by improperly calibrated instru-
ments; (2) compensating error, caused by instruments
of moderate precision; and (3) accidental error, caused
by human error in measuring and compiling. All of
these errors were held to a minimum by a system that
incorporates training, check plots, and an edit (consis-
tency) check. Field personnel undergo training for 3 to
4 months under the guidance of field-experienced per-
sonnel. Additionally, supervisors periodically check
the field work. Editing checks in the office screen out
logical and data entry errors on all plots. It is not pos-
sible to statistically measure estimating error, but the
FIA unit holds it to a minimum by adequate training,
experienced supervision, and emphasis on careful
work.

The second type of error, application error, comes
from applying biomass estimator equations to deter-
ministic measurements made on inventory sample
trees. There were five principal errors here: (1) some
species may not have had equations developed; there-
fore, coefficients for other “similar” species were sub-
stituted, (2) the size range of biomass sample trees
may not cover the full range of sizes encountered in a
large-scale inventory, (3) the geographic range of the
inventory may be outside that of the biomass sample
trees, (4) trees used in developing biomass coefficients
were from fully stocked stands, while inventory plots
ranged from nonstocked to overstocked, (5) there was
a statistical error associated with the biomass equa-
tions. None of these errors were accounted for in the
tables.

The third type of error, sampling error, is the error
associated with natural and expected deviation of the
sample from the true population mean. Thus, the
deviation was susceptible to a mathematical evalua-
tion of the probability of error. Sampling errors for
State totals in table 49 were based on one standard
deviation. That is, the chances are two out of three
that, if the results of a 100-percent census were
known, the sample results would be within the limits
indicated.

Estimates smaller than State totals will have resul-
tant larger sampling errors. The smaller the area ex-
amined, the larger the sampling error. In addition, as
area or biomass totals are stratified by forest type,
species, diameter class, ownership, or other subunits,
the sampling error increases and is greatest for the
smallest divisions. The computed sampling error
takes the area estimate error into account. The follow-
ing formula was used to derive the sampling error for
this report:

APPENDIX 1.—Definitions of Terms

Forest Land Classes

Forest land—Land at least 16.7 percent stocked by
forest trees of any size, or formerly having such tree
cover and not currently developed for nonforest uses.
Minimum area considered for classification is 1 acre.
The Forest Service inventory defines three types of
forest land: timberland, reserved forest land, and un-
productive (woodland), all defined below.

Timberland—Forest land that is producing, or is
capable of producing, crops of industrial wood and not
withdrawn from timber utilization. Timberland is
synonymous with “commercial forest land” in prior
reports.

Reserved forest land—Productive public forest land
withdrawn from timber utilization through statutes
or administrative regulations.

Woodland—Forest land incapable of yielding crops
of industrial wood because of adverse site conditions.

Tree Classes

Commercial species—Tree species currently or
prospectively suitable for industrial wood products.
Excluded are noncommercial species. See Species
List.

Noncommercial species—Tree species of typically
small size, poor form, or inferior quality that normally
do not develop into trees suitable for industrial wood
products. See Species List.

Growing-stock trees—Live trees of commercial
species classified as sawtimber, poletimber, saplings,
or seedlings. Trees must contain at least one 12-foot
log in the butt 16-foot section currently or potentially
to be classed as growing stock. (A change in the grow-
ing-stock definition occurred beginning with the 1988
Arkansas survey. Therefore, Arkansas and Tennessee

data were compiled under the former growing-stock
definition standards of at least one 12-foot log in the
butt 16-foot section so that their data are comparable
to the other five States.)

Rough trees—Live trees of commercial species that
are unmerchantable for sawlogs currently or poten-
tially because of roughness or poor form in the sawlog
portion. Also includes all live trees of noncommercial
species. See growing-stock trees.

Rotten trees—Live trees of commercial species that
are unmerchantable for sawlogs currently or poten-
tially because of rot deduction in the sawlog portion.
See growing-stock trees.

Cull trees—Rough or rotten trees.

Hardwoods—Dicotyledonous trees, usually broad
leaved and deciduous.

Softwoods—Coniferous trees, usually evergreen,
having needles or scalelike leaves.

Live trees—All trees that are alive. Included are all
size classes (21.0-inch d.b.h.), all tree classes, and
both commercial and noncommercial species.

Salvable dead trees—Standing or downed dead
trees that were formerly growing stock and are con-
sidered merchantable. One-third of the board-foot
volume must be sound in softwoods 29.0 inches in
d.b.h., and one-half of board-foot volume must be
sound in hardwoods 211.0 inches in d.b.h.; one-half of
cubic-foot volume must be sound in softwoods <9.0 in-
ches in d.b.h. and in hardwoods <11.0 inches in d.b.h.
All salvable dead trees must be 25.0 inches in d.b.h. to
qualify.

Nonsalvable dead trees—Standing or downed dead
trees that were formerly growing stock or cull and are
not considered merchantable at the time of the sur-
vey. (These trees do not meet soundness, tree class, or
size requirements under the salvable dead tree defini-
tion.)


SE = VA)’ (S2) + (¥,,)° (84) x 100

SE = sampling error,

A = area of timberland,

S? = variance of weighted mean biomass

_ estimate,

Y,, = weighted mean of biomass estimate, and
S34 = variance of timberland area estimate.

The error of the area estimate contributed very little
to the sampling error at State levels and higher (= 0.1
percent) but could be substantial at sub-State levels of
computation.

RESOURCE HIGHLIGHTS

Timberland Area

Timberland totals 99.3 million acres in the Mid-
south States. Alabama has the largest timberland
base, followed by Arkansas and Mississippi.

Most of the timberland is in private ownership—
67.4 million acres (68 percent). Forest industry holds
21.6 million acres (22 percent), with the remaining
10.3 million acres (10 percent) in public domain.
Arkansas and Mississippi have the largest national
forest acreage, 2.3 and 1.2 million acres, respectively.

The oak-hickory forest type makes up 38 percent
(37.9 million acres) of timberland. Tennessee leads
the Midsouth with 9.5 million acres. Next in size is the
loblolly-shortleaf pine type (24.3 million acres), fol-
lowed by the oak-pine and bottomland hardwood
types, 17.6 and 15.9 million acres, respectively.

Softwood Biomass

There are 2,556.4 million fresh tons (1,282.5 million
dry tons) of softwood biomass in the Midsouth States.
Largest concentrations are in Alabama (604.2 million
fresh tons), followed by Louisiana (512.0 million fresh
tons), and Mississippi (461.6 million fresh tons).
These three States account for 62 percent of the fresh
softwood biomass in the Midsouth.

Hardwood Biomass

The majority of the Midsouth’s biomass is in
hardwood trees—67 percent. Of the 5,299.9 million
fresh tons (2,932.6 million dry tons) of hardwood
biomass, four States share fairly equal proportions.
Tennessee leads all Midsouth States with 1,039.6 mil-
lion fresh tons, but is followed closely by Alabama,
Arkansas, and Mississippi with 972.1, 939.7, and
928.4 million fresh tons, respectively.

Tree Components

There is a substantial difference between softwood
and hardwood trees in proportions of stem and crown
biomass. In Midsouth softwoods, 84 percent of the
fresh biomass is in stems, 16 percent in crowns. For
Midsouth hardwoods, 75 percent of fresh biomass is in
stems, with the remaining 25 percent in crowns.

Species

Only a few of the many species that make up the
woody vegetation of the Midsouth forests figure
dominantly in the region’s biomass. Two of the species
are softwoods and seven are hardwoods.

Loblolly pine is the predominate softwood (and tree)
in the Midsouth States, with 1,405.0 million fresh
tons of biomass. Sweetgum is the predominant hard-
wood and second in rank to loblolly pine, with 592.5
million fresh tons. The remaining dominant species,
ranked in descending order, are shortleaf pine, white
oak, southern red oak, water oak, post oak, black oak,
and cherrybark oak, with 588.1, 458.6, 360.3, 337.8,
295.7, 157.9, and 157.8 million fresh tons, respective-
ly. Together, these nine top-ranking species account
for 55 percent of the Midsouth biomass.

Diameter Distribution

A large portion of biomass (56 percent) is in the
diameter range of 5.0 through 15.0 inches in d.b.h.
There are 4,393.9 million fresh tons of biomass in this
10-inch diameter range. A substantial amount of
biomass is in the 1.0- through 5.0-inch d.b.h. class—
1,001.3 million fresh tons (13 percent of total
biomass). Only a small portion of Midsouth biomass,
373.0 million fresh tons, is in trees larger than 25.0
inches in d.b.h.—less than 5 percent of all biomass.

Forest Type Groups

Hemlock—Forests in which hemlock comprises a
plurality of the stocking.

White pine-hemlock—Forests in which white pine
and hemlock, in combination, comprise a plurality of
the stocking.

Longleaf-siash pine—Forests in which longleaf or
slash pines, singly or in combination, comprise a plur-
ality of the stocking. Common associates include oaks,
hickories, and gums.

Loblolly-shortleaf pine—Forests in which pines (ex-
cept longleaf or slash pines) or eastern redcedar, sing-
ly or in combination, comprise a plurality of the stock-
ing. Common associates include oaks, hickories, and
gums.

Oak-pine—Forests in which hardwoods (usually
upland oaks) comprise a plurality of the stocking but
in which pines comprise 25 to 49 percent of the stock-
ing. Common associates include gums, hickories, and
yellow-poplar.

Oak-hickory—Forests in which upland oaks or hick-
ories, singly or in combination, comprise a plurality of
the stocking, except where pines comprise 25 to 49
percent, in which case the stand would be classified
oak-pine. Common associates include yellow-poplar,
elms, maples, and black walnut.

Oak-gum-cypress—Bottomland forests in which
tupelo, blackgum, sweetgum, oaks, or cypress, singly
or in combination, comprise a plurality of the stock-
ing, except where pines comprise 25 to 49 percent, in
which case the stand would be classified oak-pine.
Common associates include cottonwood, willow,
ashes, elms, hackberries, and maples.

Elm-ash-cottonwood—Forests in which elms, ashes,
or cottonwood, singly or in combination, comprise a
plurality of the stocking. Common associates include
willow, sycamore, beech, and maples.

Maple-beech-birch—Forests in which maples,
beech, yellow birch, or sweet birch, singly or in com-
bination, comprise a plurality of the stocking.

Nontyped—Timberland currently unoccupied with
any live trees or seedlings; very recent clearcut areas.

Biomass

Dry weight—Mass of tree component when
ovendried to a constant weight at 215 °F.

Fresh weight—Mass of tree component at time of
cutting.

Total tree weight—Weight of wood and bark from a
1-foot stump to twig tips. Leaves, flowers, fruits, and
roots are not included.

Stem weight—Weight of wood and bark in central
stem from a 1-foot stump to a 4-inch top. No merchan-
tability standards are used to define the terminus of

the stem; all trees 25.0 inches in d.b.h. are configured
to a 4-inch top; trees <5.0 inches in d.b.h. are con-
figured from a 1-foot stump to the central stem twig
tip.

Crown weight—Weight of wood and bark in upper
branches. Crown weight equals total tree weight
minus stem weight.

Ownership Classes

National Forest land—Federal lands that have
been legally designated as National Forests or pur-
chase units and other lands under the administration
of the USDA Forest Service, including experimental
areas.

Other Federal land—Federal jands other than na-
tional forests.

State, county, and municipal lands—Lands owned
by States, counties, and local public agencies or
municipalities, or lands leased to these governmental
units for 50 years or more.

Forest industry land—Lands owned by companies
or individuals operating wood-using plants (either
primary or secondary).

Farmer-owned land—Lands operated as a unit of
10 acres or more from which the sale of agricultural
products totals $1,000 or more annually.

Nonindustrial private land (individual)—Lands
privately owned by individuals other than forest in-
dustries, farmers, or miscellaneous private corpora-
tions.

Nonindustrial private land (corporate)—Lands
privately owned by corporations other than forest in-
dustries and incorporated farms.

Miscellaneous Definitions

Basal area—The area in square feet of the cross sec-
tion at breast height of a single tree (or summation of
all the trees) in a stand, usually expressed in square
feet per acre.

Diameter at breast height (d.b.h.)—Tree diameter in
inches, outside bark, usually measured at 44 feet
above ground.

Natural stands—Stands with no evidence of artifi-
cial regeneration, including stands established by
seed tree regeneration methods.

Plantations—Stands regenerated from planting or
seeding.

Pine—Tree species of the genus Pinus.

Planted pine—Pine trees on timberland that show
evidence of planting or artificial seeding.

Natural pine—Pine trees on timberland that show
no evidence of artificial regeneration.

The Woody Biomass Resource of Major Tree Taxa
for the Midsouth States

James F. Rosson, Jr.

INTRODUCTION

Data from the most recent State forest surveys were
used to derive estimates of wood and bark biomass for
the Midsouth region. This information is important to
resource managers, legislators, policymakers, and
procurement specialists in regard to the extent, loca-
tion, and potential availability of the woody biomass
resource. Because of the large-scale scheme of sam-
pling, the resource tables describe biomass com-
ponents at the regional level with smallest break-
downs by individual States.

The extent of wood and bark biomass for all trees on
timberland is summarized in this report. The biomass
resource is described by dimension (size), forest type,
ownership, species, and class of tree merchantability.
Shrub and herbaceous vegetation are not included in
these estimates. Only estimates pertaining to timber-
land acreage were included. Other recent work that
has dealt with biomass for the Midsouth region has
described the resource only as it relates to certain
stand conditions (Rosson 1989; Rosson, in press).

For clarification of these data, appendix 1 defines
relevant terms. Species that occurred in the Midsouth
sample are listed in appendix 2. Appendix 3 tables 1
through 3 describe the Midsouth timberland area by
State. Tables 4 through 48 describe the biomass
resource by species group (4-6), ownership class (7—
12), forest type (13-18), tree class (19-30), diameter
class (31-36), basal area class (37-42), and height
class (43-48). See the list of tables for a more detailed
description of table content. Appendix 4 figures 1
through 7 describe the extent of biomass resource by
yield class. For example, in Alabama, 8 percent of the
total live tree biomass is in the 0 to 20 tons per acre
yield class, and 27 percent of all timberland is in this
yield category (fig. 1).

METHODS

The Midsouth States include Alabama, Arkansas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, east Oklahoma, Tennessee,
and east Texas (fig. I). The USDA Forest Service con-
ducts periodic surveys of these States approximately
every 9 years. The USDA Forest Service, Southern
Forest Experiment Station, headquartered in New
Orleans, Louisiana, administers these seven States;
the work unit responsible for conducting the survey is
the Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) unit, located
in Starkville, Mississippi.

Data from the most recent State surveys were used
for this report (table I). Field crews visited ap-
proximately 17,000 forested plots over the past 9-year
period. At each forest location, trees 25.0 inches in
diameter at breast height (d.b.h.) were tallied with a
basal area factor 37.5 prism on 10 satellite points
(Alabama and Louisiana used only 5 satellite points).
Trees 21.0 inch but <5.0 inches in d.b.h. were tallied
on three 0.0036-acre plots. Twenty-three variables
were measured on each tree 25.0 inches in d.b.h. The
mensurational variables most important to the as-
sessment of biomass estimates were total tree height
