This report is a summary of timber resource statistics for western Oregon, which

includes Benton, Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia, Coos, Curry, Douglas, Hood River,

Jackson, Josephine, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Multnomah, Polk, Tillamook, Washington, and Yamhill Counties. Data were collected as part of a statewide multiresource

inventory. The inventory sampled all private and public lands except those administered by the National Forest System and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The

National Forest System and BLM provided data from regional inventories. Area information for parks and other reserves was obtained directly from the organizations managing these areas. Statistical tables provide estimates of land area, timber volume,

growth, mortality, and harvest for individual survey units and at the half-state level.

Keywords: Forest surveys, forest inventory, statistics (forest), timber resources,

resources (forest), western Oregon.

Western Oregon has an estimated 19 million acres of land. About 80 percent of this

land is forested with 71 percent being timberland. Lands administered by the U.S.

Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, National Forest System (NFS) and U.S.

Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) make up about 48 percent of the timberland. Within the nonfederal timberland area, net volume of growing

stock is estimated as 20.3 billion cubic feet. About 58 percent of the volume is administered by forest industry, 20 percent by other public owners, and 21 percent by other

private owners. About 82 percent of the total growing stock volume is in coniferous species, with Douglas-fir accounting for 74 percent of the conifer volume. Estimated net

annual growth of growing stock for nonfederal lands is 0.77 billion cubic feet, and average

annual mortality for this timber is an estimated 0.1 billion cubic feet.

Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) is a nationwide program of the USDA Forest Service authorized by the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Research Act of

1978. Work units at Forest Service research and experiment stations conduct forest

resource inventories throughout the 50 states. The FIA Program of the Pacific Northwest Research Station in Portland, Oregon, is responsible for forest inventories in

Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington.

The Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) unit of the USDA Forest Service, Pacific

Northwest Research Station conducted a multiresource inventory in western Oregon’s

forests between 1994 and 1998. This inventory included all lands except those administered by the Forest Service and the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land

Management (BLM). This report summarizes the timber resource statistics for western

Oregon’s forests. Some statistical tables include inventory data provided by the Forest

Service and the BLM for area on their lands. Other resources sampled but not included

in this report are understory vegetation, crown cover, coarse woody debris, and snags.

These data will lead to further analysis of the status of western Oregon’s forests.

This FIA unit has been reporting statistics for western Oregon since the 1930s. Hazard

and Metcalf (1964, 1965), Metcalf and Hazard (1964), Bassett (1977), Jacobs (1978),

Mei (1979), and Gedney and others (1986a, 1986b, 1987) reported inventory statistics

in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. The current grid system was a systematic sample

implemented in the early 1960s; before this grid, a type map system was used for inventory statistics. McKay and others (1998) used an updated 1994 data set to report

the latest forest statistics for western Oregon.

This report contains statistical tables that provide current estimates of forest land area,

change estimates for nonfederal lands, number of trees, timber volume, growth, mortality, and harvest. In several tables, area data supplied to the 1997 Resources Planning

Act (RPA) by the National Forest System are incorporated. The national forest statistics

include areas that are withdrawn from full production but still meet the FIA definition of

timberland. National forest lands are not equally available for timber production because management must consider policies such as the Northwest Forest Plan and

riparian reserves in decisionmaking.

About 80 percent of western Oregon’s land is forested with about 71 percent being

timberland. Federal agencies—the National Forest System and the Bureau of Land Management—administer about 48 percent of the timberland. Owners classed as forest industry administer about 31 percent of the timberland; nonindustrial and other public

owners administer about 13 and 6 percent of timberland, respectively.

The production of timber has shifted away from federal lands to state and privately owned

lands. In the 1980s, federal lands produced an average of 2.66 billion board feet per year.

In the 1990s, that number dropped to 0.79 billion board feet per year, with a 0.19 billion

average between 1995 and 1997. Other public and private lands averaged 3.0 billion

board feet in the 1980s and decreased 5 percent to 2.85 billion in the 1990s. The 70-

percent reduction from federal lands does not represent a change in land class, but is

evidence of changing availability of land for timber production based on new management

decisions. Federal land areas with reduced availability include, but are not limited to,

riparian reserves, wildlife reserves, and access-limited areas.

The stand size for nonfederal owners in western Oregon tends to be skewed to the small

size classes. About 5 percent of the nonfederal lands have an average stand diameter of

21 inches or greater, and 43 percent have an average stand diameter between 5 and 11

inches. Public owners such as state, county, and other federal owners have about 10

percent of their lands with an average diameter of 21 inches or greater. Forest industry

and nonindustrial private owners have about 4 percent of their land in the larger diameters. Forty-eight percent of all nonfederal lands have stand diameters between 11 and

21 inches.

Introduction

Highlights

Nonfederal timberlands in western Oregon show an increase in standing volume from

20.1 to 23.3 billion cubic feet based on plots measured during the previous and present

inventories. Growth is 33 percent greater than removals plus mortality for nonfederal

lands in western Oregon. The growth greater than removals plus mortality differs by survey unit with the southwest unit having the lowest percentage at 16 percent, followed by

the west-central unit at 21 percent, and the northwest unit at 63 percent.

A minor net loss of timberland—51,000 of 6.9 million acres—is due to land use change.

Most of the losses in timberland came from previous timberland being reclassed as

roads. The 189,000-acre loss in timberland to urban, agriculture, and other nonforest

uses is offset by the 138,000-acre gain from nonforest and other forest becoming timberland. Reclassification of lands from the previous inventory accounts for an additional

184,000 acres of timberland.

Western Oregon was inventoried by using a double sampling for stratification scheme

(Cochran 1977). The sampling is implemented on a permanent systematic grid and

produces an even geographic distribution of both secondary (field) and primary (photo)

plots across the state. Photo plots are placed at random inside each square of the grid.

The primary sample for western Oregon consists of a grid of about 24,000 points established in 1994 by using aerial photographs taken in 1994. Data collected on each

point included amount of tree cover by species group, average conifer height, disturbance codes, owner, and stage of development.

The secondary sample consisted of 1,478 forest and nonforest field locations established in previous inventories and remeasured or reclassified in the 1994-98 period.

This sample represents about a 1-in-16 subsample of the primary sample. The ratio

of 1 field to 16 photo plots provides a sufficient number of plots to meet the required

sampling precision for estimates of forest area and volume.

The national forest and BLM plots were based on a similar grid system with a different

plot design (Max and others 1996). The data were collected for these inventories between 1993 and 1996 and are in the 1997 RPA database.

In 1984-86 a cluster of five subplots was installed at timberland grid locations. At that

time, the subplots sampled a single homogeneous condition, by moving subplots into

the condition if necessary. Variable-radius sampling was used to select trees over

5 inches diameter at breast height (d.b.h.), and a smaller fixed-radius plot was used to

sample seedlings and saplings.

In 1994, the sampling design was modified to remove potential bias inherent in the

1984-86 procedures. The term “condition class” was defined for the modified design to

identify different situations that could occur on a plot. A condition class, or “condition,”

refers to an area with a distinct land class (timberland, woodland, nonforest, etc.) and

vegetative condition (forest type, stand age, etc.). The modified design requires that the

field plots maintain fixed locations for all subplots in the cluster. Plots that straddle two

or more conditions sample all conditions by establishing each subplot in the designated

position and mapping the boundaries around each condition. The information pertinent

to each condition is recorded as condition-class attributes. When multiple conditions

exist on a plot, all data in one condition are processed together. This can impact the

amount of information present to classify stand characteristics such as forest type,

stand size, and stand age. On 1,478 field plots in the 1995-97 inventory, 2,754 condition classes were sampled, of which 1,403 were timberland conditions. Roads accounted for most nonforest conditions existing on plots.

Inventory

Procedures

(Nonfederal Lands)

The U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census compiles and publishes the

acreage of land and water in the United States every 10 years. These area figures,

available by state and county, are accepted and used by FIA in Portland, Oregon, as

the gross number of acres to be inventoried in each county. The previous inventory

was based on 1980 census data, and the current inventory uses 1990 census figures.

Raster-scanned topographic maps from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Geological

Survey and a geographic information system are now used by the Bureau of the Census to identify water bodies and landforms and to determine the size of much smaller

areas than previously possible. As a result, the definition of inland water was changed

to reflect the finer resolution. Streams with a minimum width of 200 feet are now recognized, compared to 660 feet in 1980; small water bodies are now at least 4.5 acres,

compared to 40 acres in the past.

Land owned by Native Americans is now classified as “other private.” In the 1986-87

inventory, these lands were defined as “other public.” Forest industry was divided into

the two categories of “forest industry with mills” and “forest industry without mills”; both

are now classed as “forest industry.”

To analyze change in forest statistics, the 1986-87 data were recompiled to account for

technical changes in the 1995-97 inventory. The summaries presented in tables 27a

through 29d have been developed from remeasured plots outside of federal lands and

include recompiled data from the 1986-87 inventory. Caution should be used in comparing present statistics and those published by Gedney and others (1986a, 1986b,

1987) because of procedural changes, stratification differences, and plot changes.

Comparing estimates from previous to current ones is like comparing independent estimates of the resource at different points in time; although both are valid estimates, they

will not be equal.

Inventories conducted by FIA are designed to provide sampling errors consistent with

national standards set by the Forest Service. The target error for total timberland area

is 3 percent per million acres and 10 percent per billion cubic feet of growing-stock

volume.

The sample design for this inventory provides the highest precision when estimates are

aggregated for an entire survey unit such as the northwest, west-central, or southwest

units in western Oregon. As the sample is divided into smaller units, the confidence

intervals increase in relation to the size of the estimate. Confidence intervals are quantitative expressions of the variability inherent in the estimation procedures for area and

Forest types—Stands are assigned a pure softwood, pure hardwood, softwood-hardwood mix, or hardwood-softwood forest type. Stands with 70 percent or more of the

stocking in live softwood trees are classified as pure softwood types and are assigned

the type name of the softwood species with the greatest stocking among all softwoods

on the condition class plot. Stands with 70 percent or more of the stocking in live hardwood trees are classified as pure hardwood types and are assigned the type name of

the hardwood species with the greatest stocking among all hardwoods on the condition

class plot. Mixed species types are assigned if softwood stocking is 31 to 69 percent

total stocking on the plot; stands with 50 to 69 percent of the stocking in live softwood

trees are classed as softwood-hardwood types and receive a type name that includes

the softwood species with the greatest softwood stocking, followed by the hardwood

species with the greatest hardwood stocking; stands with 51 to 69 percent of the stocking in live hardwood trees are classed as hardwood-softwood types and receive a type

name that includes the hardwood species with the greatest hardwood stocking, followed by the softwood species with the greatest softwood stocking. For ease in reporting, the secondary forest type will be identified after a slash as “softwood” or “hardwood”

in the summary tables

The Forest Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture is dedicated to the principle

of multiple use management of the Nation’s forest resources for sustained yields of

wood, water, forage, wildlife, and recreation. Through forestry research, cooperation

with the States and private forest owners, and management of the National Forests and

National Grasslands, it strives—as directed by Congress—to provide increasingly

greater service to a growing Nation.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination in all its programs

and activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age, disability,
