Foreword

This report highlights the principal findings of the sixth forest survey of West Tennessee. Field work began iu

December 1996 and was completed in June 1997. Five previous surveys, completed in 1950, 1961, 1970, I Y80,

and 1989 provide statistics for measuring changes and trends over the past 47 years. This report primarily

emphasizes the changes and trends since 1989.

Periodic surveys of forest resources are authorized by the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Research Act

of 1978. These surveys are a continuing, nationwide undertaking by the Regional Experiment Stations of the I J.S.

Department of Agriculture, Forest Service. In the Southern United States, these surveys are conducted by the I’OI csl

Inventory and Monitoring (FIM) Research Work Unit at the Southern Research Station, Asheville, NC 1 . ‘I’he I’IM uuil

operates out of two locations, one in Starkville, MS, and the other in Asheville, NC, and is responsible TOI

inventories of 13 Southern States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. ‘The primary objective of these surveys is

to periodically inventory and evaluate all forest and related resources. These multiresource data help provide> a I)asis

for formulating forest policies and programs and for the orderly development and use of the resources. ‘I’his report

discusses the extent and condition of forest land, associated timber volumes, and rates of timber growth, mortalily,

and removals.

Highlights

This report summarizes results from a 1997 inventory of

the forest resources of West Tennessee (fig. 1). Current

estimates of forest area, timberland area, related

classifications such as ownership and forest type, and

timber volumes are presented and compared with

previous values. Average annual rates of net growth,

removals, and mortality are summarized since the

previous inventory in 1989. Resource data are presented

in 5 1 tables and 9 graphs. A summary of major findings

follows.

Timberland area-The area classified as timberland in

the 18-county area has increased 11 percent since

1989, from 1.96 million acres to 2.18 million acres.

Seventy-one thousand nine hundred acres were diverted

from timberland to other uses, while 284,600 acres were

added from previous nonforest use, resulting in a

212,600-acre net change. The majority of the diverted

area was cleared for agriculture and urban-related land

uses. Forests cover 36 percent of the land area in West

Tennessee.

Ownershi~Nonindustrial private forest (NIPF)

ownership land increased 15 percent, and totaled 1.86

million acres. NIPF owners control 85 percent of the

timberland in West Tennessee. The area of timberland

declined by 24 percent on industry land, from 16 1,300

acres in 1989 to 122,100 acres in 1997. Public agencies

control 192,800 acres, a 5-percent increase.

Forest type-Forest stands classified as hardwood

forest type occupy 1.99 million acres, or 92 percent of

timberland in the region. Hardwood stands have increased 12 percent since 1989. Stands classified as

oak-pine forest type increased 16.5 percent to 172,300

acres, while stands classified as pine forest type

decreased by 14 percent to 153,900 acres. Oak-hickory

remains the predominant forest type in the region with

1.23 million acres.

Stand treatment-Harvesting and regeneration have

been the predominant treatment and management

activities in the timberland of West Tennessee since 1989.

Final harvests occurred on 12,200 acres annually. Fiftyseven percent of final harvests was in hardwood stands,

39 percent occurred in pine stands, and 4 percent in

oak-pine stands. A combination of reforestation and

afforestation averaged 47,400 acres annually. Planting

activities accounted for 14 percent of this total.

Hardwood volume-Volume of hardwood growing

stock increased 21 percent to 2.9 billion cubic feet. On

public lands, hardwood volume increased 53 percent to

374.8 million cubic feet. On NIPF lands it increased by

23 percent to 2.4 billion cubic feet. Hardwood volume

declined 43 percent to 110.3 million cubic feet on

forest industry land. Oak species collectively accounted

for 1.0 billion cubic feet, or 36 percent of hardwood

volume; volume in hickories increased 25 percent to

255.6 million cubic feet and soft maple volume was up

83 percent to 192.1 million cubic feet. Volume of

hardwood sawtimber increased 2 1 percent to 10.1

billion board feet.

Softwood volumeVolume of softwood growing stock

increased 39 percent to 487.9 million cubic feet between

1989 and 1997. Softwood volume increased 52 percent

to 337.8 million cubic feet on NIPF land, 19 percent to

47.2 million cubic feet on forest industry land, and 15

percent to 102.9 million cubic feet on public land. At

210.5 million cubic feet, loblolly pine is now the

predominant softwood species. Volume of loblolly pine

has increased 76 percent since 1989. Volume of shortleaf pine dropped 5 percent to 12 1.2 million cubic feet.

Other softwood volumes were classified under

baldcypress and redcedar. The inventory of softwood

sawtimber totals 2.1 billion board feet, a 62-percent

increase from the previous survey period.
Growth-Net annual growth of hardwood growing

stock averaged 95.4 million cubic feet. Net annual

growth of hardwoods increased 3 percent since the

previous survey period. Hardwood growth declined

31 percent on industry land, and increased 18.5 and 4

percent on public and NIPF lands, respectively.

Net annual growth of softwood growing stock averaged

20.6 million cubic feet. Net annual growth of softwoods

has increased 82 percent since the previous survey

period. Softwood growth increased 225 percent on

public land, 72 percent on NIPF land, and 70 percent on

forest industry land.

Removals-Annual removals of hardwood growing

stock averaged 64.5 million cubic feet. Hardwood

removals have increased 77 percent since the previous

survey period. Eighty-five percent of hardwood removals

occurred on NIPF land, 12 percent on forest industry

land, and 3 percent on public land. Across all ownerships, hardwood growth exceeded removals by 48

percent (or by a margin of 1.5 to 1).

Annual removals of softwood growing stock averaged

19.6 million cubic feet. Softwood removals have

increased 221 percent since the previous survey period.

Sixty-seven percent of softwood removals occurred on

NIPF land, 18 percent on forest industry land, and 14

percent on public land. Across all ownerships,

softwood growth exceeded removals by 5 percent

(or by a margin of 1.1 to 1).

Mortality-Mortality of growing stock has increased

16 percent to 3 1.1 million cubic feet since 1989. Hardwood mortality increased 9 percent to 26.1 million

cubic feet; softwood mortality increased 72 percent to

5.0 million cubic feet.

Inventory Methods

The Southern Research Station, Forest Inventory and

Monitoring (FIM) unit secured data on forest acreage and

timber volume using a three-step process. A forestnonforest classification using aerial photographs was

accomplished for points representing approximately

230 acres. These photo classifications were adjusted

based on ground observations at sample locations

representing approximately 3,840 acres. Finally, field

measurements were made at forest locations on the

intersections of grid lines spaced 3 miles apart.

The plot design at each ground sample location was

based on a cluster of four points spaced 120 feet apart.

Each point served as the center of a l/24-acre circular

subplot used to sample trees 5.0 inches diameter at

breast height (d.b.h.) and larger. A l/300-acre circular

microplot, located at the center of the subplot, was

used to sample trees 1.0 through 4.9 inches d.b.h. and

seedlings (trees less than 1 .O inch d.b.h.). These

fixed-radius sample plots were established without

regard to land use or forest cover. Forest and nonforest

condition classes were delineated and recorded.

Condition classes were defined by six attributes: land

use, forest type, stand origin, stand size, stand density,

and major ownership. All trees tallied were assigned to

their respective condition class.

The cluster of four fixed plots sampled timberland at

460 ground sample locations in this survey unit.

Estimates of timber volume and forest classification

were derived from tree measurements and classifications

made at these locations. Volumes for individual tally

trees were computed using equations for each of the

major species in the survey unit. The equations were

developed from detailed measurements collected on

standing trees in this survey unit and throughout the

region.

Estimates of growth, removals, and mortality were

determined from the remeasurement of 344 permanent

sample plots established in the previous inventory.

The plot design for the previous inventory was based

on a cluster of 10 points. At each point, trees 5.0 inches

d.b.h. and larger were selected for measurement on a

variable-radius plot defined by a 37.5-factor prism. Trees

less than 5.0 inches d.b.h. were tallied on a fixed-radius

plot around each plot center.

Statistical Reliability

FIM inventories employ sampling methods designed to

achieve reliable statistics at the survey unit and State

levels. A measure of reliability of inventory statistics is

provided by sampling errors. These sampling errors

mean that the chances are two out of three that the true

population value is within the limits indicated by a

confidence interval. Sampling errors (in percent) and

associated confidence intervals around the sample

estimates for timberland area, inventory volumes, and

components of change are presented in the following

table.

Sampling error increases as the area or volume considered decreases in magnitude. Sampling errors and

associated confidence intervals are often unacceptably

high for small components of the total resource.

Statistical confidence may be computed for any subdivision of survey unit or State totals using the following

formula. Sampling errors obtained from this method are

only approximations of reliability because this process

assumes constant variance across all subdivisions of

totals.

,

where

SEs = sampling error for subdivision of survey

unit or State total,

SE, = sampling error for survey unit or State total,

X, = sum of values for the variable of interest

(area or volume) for subdivision of survey

unit or State,

X, = total area or volume for survey unit or State.

For example, the estimate of sampling error for hardwood growing-stock volume on NIPF land is computed

as:

SE, = 4.34

Thus, the sampling error is 5.15 percent, and the resulting confidence interval (two times out of three) for

hardwood growing-stock inventory on NIPF land is

2,397.6 f 123.5 million cubic feet.

County statistics are provided, but users are cautioned

that the accuracy of individual county data is highly

variable. Individual county statistics are provided so any

combination of counties may be added together until the

totals are large enough to meet the desired degree of

reliability. Sampling errors for key resource items for

individual counties are provided in the following table.

sawtimber trees based on: (1) the grade of the butt log or

(2) the ability to produce at least one 1Zfoot or two 8-foot

logs in the upper section of the saw-log portion. Tree

grade is an indicator of quality; grade 1 is the best quality.

sawtimber trees above the saw-log top to minimum top

diameter 4.0 inches outside bark or to the point where the

main stem or fork breaks into limbs.

Volume of live trees. The cubic-foot volume of sound

wood in live trees at least 5.0 inches d.b.h. from a

The Forest Service, 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
