Midsouth Timber Statistics

INTRODUCTION 

The Forest Inventory and Analysis Unit 

of the Southern Forest Experiment Station 

(Forest Survey) conducts periodic 

inventories about every 10 years covering 

forest resources of the Midsouth states 

(fig. 1) This report summarizes recent 

resource inventories of Alabama, Arkansas, 

Louisiana, Mississippi, East Oklahoma, 

Tennessee, and East Texas. Appendix 

tables present summaries of timberland 

area, growing-stock volume, ownership 

class, forest class, site class, and 

stocking level (refer to Definition of 

Terms for clarification). 

Information contained in this report was 

compiled from Forest Survey's plot-level 

data base as part of a review of the 

Southern timber supply situation. Area and 

volume statistics may not exactly para1 lel 

previously published statistics because 

sample plot data was not adjusted to agree 

with enumerated National Forest data as 

has been done in some publications. 

Deviations are most notable for ownership 

breakdowns. Readers interested in updated 

forest area statistics that include 

adjustments for the National Forest 

ownership should refer to a companion 

report on trends in forest area (Birdsey 

and McWi 11 i ams 1985). 

OWNERSHIP 

Midsouth forest resources are controlled 

by private owners including forest 

industry, farmer, miscellaneous corporate, 

and other private categories. The largest 

portion of timberland (38 percent) is in 

the other private category (fig. 2). 

Other private owners and farmers have 

smaller shares of growing-stock and sawtimber volumes than of timberland area. 

Forest industry has higher proportions of 

both growing-stock and sawtimber volumes 

than of timberland area. Forest industry 

stands are concentrated on better sites 

with higher stocking. Miscellaneous corporate owners hold 6 percent of Midsouth 

timberland and a similar share of the 

volume. 

National forest land occupies 7 percent 

of the timberland base with a considerably 

higher proportion of volume. National 

Forest timber stands are relatively older 

than private forests. Other public owners 

account for only 4 percent of Midsouth 

timberland. 

FOREST CLASS 

Pine and mixed pine-hardwood types 

constitute roughly half of the Midsouth's 

timberland. Natural pine is the most 

prevalent, contributing the bulk of both 

growi ng-stock and sawtimber volumes (fig. 

3). Pine plantations comprise only 6 

percent of the timberland and slightly 

smaller volumes. The most current 

statistics are based on relatively old 

information for some states, and hence do 

not reflect recent increases in the area 

of pine plantations, especially in the 

forest industry ownership class. Also, 

some young pine plantations are classified 

as mixed pine-hardwood or hardwood types 

until pines outgrow hardwood competition 

to achieve a plurality of stocking (table 

I). Most of this acreage represents 

partially successful plantations and 

plantations with considerable hardwood 

competition. Conversion of natural pine 

and mixed pine-hardwoods to pine 

plantations has increased dramatically 

since the mid 1970's and will account for 

a larger share of the South's timberland 

William H. McWill iams and Richard A. Birdsey are Research Foresters, Forestry Sciences 

Laboratory, Southern Forest Experiment Station, U.S. Forest Service, Starkvi 1 le, 

Mississippi, 39759. 
in the future (Birdsey and Mcwilliams 

1986; McWilliams and Birdsey 1984). This 

shift will show up most prominently on 

forest industry properties. Increases in 

forest industry softwood growing-stock 

inventory can be expected as an increasing 

number of plantation trees grow 

into the lower limit of merchantability 

used by Forest Survey (5.0 inches diameter 

at breast height). 

Upland hardwoods occupy more than 

one-third of the Midsouth timberland area 

but comprise considerably less of the 

growing-stock volume. Individual hardwood 

trees usually contain less merchantable 

volume than pines of the same diameter. 

Moreover, upland oaks tend to be 

concentrated on poorer sites and receive 

less active forest management than pine 

types. 

Bottomland hardwoods account for 17 percent of the timberland area and somewhat 

higher shares of both growing-stock and 

sawtimber volumes. 

PRODUCTIVITY 

Productivity is assessed by using 

species that are present at the time of 

measurement. The data show that about 

half of the timberland is capable of 

growing 85 cubic feet or more per acre 

annually (fig. 4). Such sites carry 

relatively higher proportions of both 

growing-stock and sawtimber volumes. The 

remaining acreage occurs primarily on 

medium sites and only a minor portion 

occurs on poor sites. 

STOCKING 

Stocking, as used in this bulletin, is a 

measure of the degree to which a site is 

occupied by growi ng-stock trees. Forest 

Survey estimates stocking in relation to a 

density standard based on a plot-level 

tree count. When a large number of plots 

are grouped, the level of tree stocking 

relates directly to volume production. 

More than three-fourths of the timberland 

area in the Midsouth is at least 60 percent stocked with growing-stock trees 

(fig. 5). This land base contributes 90 

percent of both growing-stock and sawtimber volumes. 

RELIABILITY 

The data on forest acreage and timber 

volume were estimated from a systematic 

sampling method involving a forest-nonforest classification on aerial photographs and on-the-ground measurements of 

trees at sample locations. The sample 

locations were at the intersections of a 

grid of lines spaced 3 miles apart. 

Forest Survey sampling methods provide 

accurate estimates of timberland area and 

volume at the Midsouth region level (table 

11). State-level sampling errors are 

slightly higher. Sampling errors increase 

as the area considered decreases. Estimates of sampling errors for the various 

breakdowns of timber statistics presented 

in this bulletin can be derived using the 

following: 

where: 

SETS = standard error of estimate for the 

timber statistic (area or volume) 

of interest (expressed as a 

percent) 

SET = standard error of estimate for the 

state or Midsouth region (expressed 

as a percent) 

XT = state or Midsouth total for the 

variable of interest (area or 

vol ume) 

XTS = total for the timber statistic of 

interest (area or volume) 

As an example, the standard error percent for high site natural pine timberland 

owned by forest industry in the Midsouth 

is computed as follows: 

SET = 0.1 (table 11) 

XT = 98,298.3 (table 

1 of Appendix) 
XTS = 4,411.6 (table 1 

of Appendix) 

= 0.5 percent. 

Therefore, the area of high site natural 

pine timberland owned by forest industry 

in the Midsouth lies between 4,389.5 and 

4,433.7 thousand acres with a probability 

of two chances out of three. The 

computation of sampling errors for any 

other breakdown of timberland area or 

volume follows this logic. 

DEFINITIONS OF TERMS 

Forest class. --A classification of 

Forest Survey plots according to forest 

type (based on the plurality of all live 

trees tallied) and stand origin. 

Pine plantations.--Forests in which 

pines comprise the plurality of stocking 

and that originated from either planting 

or direct seeding. 

Natural pine.--Forests in which pines 

comprise the plurality of stocking with no 

evidence of artificial regeneration (includes stands established by seed trees). 

Mired pine-hardwoods.--Forests in which 

hardwoods comprise the plurality of stocking, but in which pines comprise 25 to 50 

percent of the stocking. 

Upland hardwoods.--Forests in which upland hardwood species, singly or in combination, comprise the plurality of stocking, except where pines comprise 25 to 50 

percent of the stocking, in which case the 

plot would be classified as mixed pinehardwoods. 

Bottomland hardwoods.--Includes forests 

in which bottomland hardwood species, 

singly or in combination, comprise a 

plurality of stocking except where pines 

comprise 25 to 50 percent, in which case 

the plot would be classified mixed 

pine-hardwoods. 

Crowing-stock volume.--The volume of sound 

wood in the bole of trees 5.0 inches dbh 

and larger from a 1-foot stump to a minimum 4.0-inch top diameter (outside bark) 

or to a point where the 'central stem 

breaks into limbs. Trees that are unmerchantable for saw logs (currently or 

potentially because of defect or rot) are 

excluded. 

Ownership Classes 

National Forest.--Federal lands which 

have been legally designated as National 

Forests or purchase units, and other lands 

under the administration of the Forest 

Service. 

Other public. --Land owned by federal 

(excluding National Forest land), state, 

county, or municipal governments. 

Forest industry.--Land owned or leased 

by companies or individuals operating 

wood-using plants. 

Farmer.--Lands from which $1,000 or more 

of agricultural products were sold or 

normally would have been sold during a 

year's operation. 

Miscellaneous corporate.--Land held by 

any corporation not operating a wood-using 

plant. 

Other private. --Privately owned land 

excluding land owned by forest industry, 

farmer, and miscellaneous corporate 

classes. 

Sawtimber volume.--The volume of sound 

wood in the saw-log portion of softwood 

trees 9.0 inches dbh and larger, and 

hardwood trees 11.0 inches dbh and 

larger, containing at least one 12-foot 

saw log. Sawtimber volume is expressed in 

board feet, International Rule, 1/4 inch 

kerf. 

Site class.--A classification of forest 

land based on potential yield in cubic 

feet per acre of mean annual growth at 

culmination of the increment in fully 

stocked natural stands. 

High--85 or more cubic feet per acre, 

per year. 

Medium--50 to 85 cubic feet per acre, 

per year. 

Poor--less than 50 cubic feet per acre, 

per year. 
Stockin .--A measure of the extent to 

whdgrowth potential of the site is 

utilized by trees or preempted by vegetative cover. Stocking is determined by 

comparing the stand density in terms of 

number of trees or basal area with a 

specified standard. The tabulation 

below shows the density standard in terms 

of trees per acre, by size class, required 

for full stocking:

Stocking level is classified as 

follows: 

High--100 percent or more stocked. 

Medium--60 to 100 percent stocked. 

Low--less than 60 percent stocked. 

Timberland.--Land at least 16.7 percent 

stocked by forest trees of any size or 

formerly having such tree cover, that is 

capable of producing crops of industrial 

wood. Land that is currently developed for 

nonforest use or withdrawn from timber 

utilization through statute or 

administrative regulation is excluded.
