This report presents a summary of the most recent inventory information for New Mexico’s

forest lands. Most of the data are from the inventory completed in 2000 that included National

Forest System lands and reserved lands. This report includes descriptive highlights and tables

of area, number of trees, biomass, volume, growth, mortality, successional stage, understory

vegetation, removals, and net change. Most of the tables are organized by forest type,

species, diameter class, or owner group. The report also describes inventory design,

inventory terminology, and data reliability.

Results show that roughly 21 percent of the area of New Mexico is forest land, and that about

62 percent of the forest land is administered by government agencies. About 10 percent of the

forest land in New Mexico is reserved from being utilized for wood products. The most common

forest type is pinyon-juniper, comprising 54 percent of the total forest land. The tree species

estimated to have the highest percent of the total number of trees is Gambel oak, with 30

percent. Ponderosa pine is estimated to make up 29 percent of the total biomass and 25

percent of the total cubic foot volume. The total volume of wood in live trees in New Mexico

is estimated to be almost 16 billion cubic feet. The net volume of growing stock on nonreserved

timberland is more than 7 billion cubic feet, with just over 68 percent occurring on lands

administered by the National Forest System.

Keywords: forest land area, forest inventory, number of trees, biomass, volume, growth,

mortality, forest type, double sampling

Introduction ____________________________________________________

This report presents a summary of the most recent inventory data

available for New Mexico’s forest lands. The data reported here are a result

of inventories conducted by the USDA Forest Service, Interior West Forest

Inventory and Analysis (IW-FIA) Program of the Rocky Mountain Research

Station, as part of their national FIA activities. Forest Inventory and

Analysis (FIA) is a national program that conducts strategic-level inventories for large-scale planning and monitoring. IW-FIA is one of five regional

FIA programs and conducts inventories in eight States in the Interior West.

FIA provides objective and scientifically credible information at a strategic

level concerning how much forest there is, what it looks like, whether the

forest area is increasing or decreasing, whether forests are gaining or losing

species, how quickly trees are growing, dying, and being harvested, and how

the forest ecosystem is changing over time with respect to the soil and other

vegetation community attributes. This information helps policymakers and

managers at local, regional, State, and national levels make sound decisions

concerning the nation’s forests, and assess the sustainability of current and

past policy.

Land classification categories are individually defined in the terminology

section of this report. However, an overview of the classification relationships may provide a better understanding of how these groups are subdivided. Land area is divided into forest and nonforest (fig. 1). Forest land is

subdivided into timberland and woodland. Timberland includes forests of

tree species traditionally used in the forest products industry, such as

ponderosa pine and Douglas-fir. Woodland includes tree species such as

pinyon, juniper, and oak that are not traditionally used for industrial wood

products and typically have a multistem growth form. Each inventory

location was classified as timberland or woodland depending on which

category of species made up the majority of the stocking. Nonforest includes

rangelands, agriculture, urban lands, and water, and may have a small

amount of tree cover. Land may be reserved or nonreserved. Trees are

available for use (harvest) on nonreserved forest land, whereas on reserved

land they are not. Forest found in wilderness areas or National Parks typifies

reserved forest land.

Much of the data in this report are from an inventory conducted between

1996 and 2000 that employed a sampling protocol that was different from

earlier inventories. The new protocol is called the mapped-plot design and is

explained in the “Methods” section. The 1996 through 2000 inventory

included most National Forest System (NFS) lands, all non-NFS timberland,

and all areas in reserved status. New data were not collected for the Gila

National Forest or for most nonreserved woodlands outside the National

Forest System. Instead, woodland plot data from a previous New Mexico

inventory (Van Hooser and others 1993), and all plots from the 1992 and 1993

inventory of the Gila National Forest were recompiled and combined with the

1996 and 2000 data to produce this report (fig. 2).

This report and the included tables were crafted based on historical

demand and on recent requests from users, including private landowners,

agency and university researchers, forest industry officials and consultants,

National Forest System managers, State and local planning staffs, and

regional and national policymakers. The report emphasizes the total forest

land resource, including species diversity, forest health, and land use issues,

as well as providing the more traditional estimates such as volume, growth,

mortality, and removals. Other types of information included in this report

are the occurrence and cover of understory species, estimates of biomass, and

diversity of habitat types. Scientific and common names for all plant species

included in this paper are listed in appendix A.

The 1996 through 2000 inventory was made possible through a major

cooperative effort between many Federal and State agencies. The field work,

data compilation, and analysis were conducted and partially funded by the

IW-FIA program. Significant funding was also provided by the USDA Forest

Service Southwestern Region through a cooperative agreement between the

Rocky Mountain Research Station and National Forest System. Substantial

cooperation in terms of logistical assistance was received from the New

Mexico State Land Department, Forestry Division, and many other public

and private landowners. Data from this effort are also being reported

separately for the five National Forests in New Mexico.

Caution should be used in comparing the numbers in this report with

forest statistics previously reported for New Mexico (Van Hooser and others

1993). The field plot design was modified since the last inventory to meet

national consistency requirements. Reserved lands and National Forest

System lands were not previously inventoried by FIA. In the past, National

Forest System conducted its own inventory and provided data to FIA for

State reporting purposes. Additionally, some national and local definitions

and classifications have been adjusted.

Methods _______________________________________________________

The data in this report represent all forest land, including all owners and

land status. IW-FIA uses a two-phase or double sampling procedure (Cochran

1963) for State inventories. The first, or remotely sensed, phase was based

on a grid of sample points systematically located across all lands in the State.

A forest cover type map of the United States (Powell and others 1993),

derived from digital satellite imagery (fig. 3), was used to obtain timberland,

woodland, or nonforest cover information on 314,827 points in New Mexico.

This cover designation, along with County and owner information, was then

used to stratify field plots.

Field crews conducted the second, or field, phase of the inventory on a

subsample of the phase one points that occurred on forest land (USDA Forest

Service 1997). This is land that had at least 5 percent cover of species

classified as trees (timber or woodland species), had at least 40 tally tree

species seedlings or saplings per acre, or is currently without cover but

formerly had at least 5 percent cover with tally tree species, and human

activity on the site does not preclude natural regeneration of trees.

The data used to produce this report came from basically three sample plot

designs as well as two sampling intensities. These differences divide the

State into three distinct “populations.” A complete description of these

populations along with the sampling designs and intensities used are given

in the following paragraphs.

One “population” consists of areas where the new plots were taken using

the national FIA mapped-plot design. This population includes some areas

that were sampled for the first time by FIA as well as areas that were sampled

in the 1980s. New design plots were taken on all but one National Forest, all

reserved lands, lands that were found to have been timberland in the 1980s,

and plots classified as being in the timberland strata using current phase 1

information. The mapped-plot design consists of four fixed-radius subplots.

Each 1/24-acre circular subplot was used to sample trees 5.0 inches in

diameter at breast height (d.b.h.) or root collar (d.r.c.), and larger. A 1/300-

acre circular microplot, at the center of the subplot, was used to sample

seedlings and saplings (trees up to 4.9 inches d.b.h or d.r.c.). Forest and

adjacent nonforest conditions were delineated and recorded. Condition

classes were defined by five attributes: forest/nonforest, forest type, standsize class, stand origin, and stand density. All attributes measured on each

location were assigned to their respective condition class. For this population, 855 plots were evaluated, of which 819 locations were at least partially

forest.

The second population is the Gila National Forest. It was sampled in 1994

when IW-FIA was using a five-point variable-radius plot to sample timberland forest types and a single fixed-radius plot to sample woodland types.

There were 526 plots evaluated on the Gila, 461 of which were forest.

The third population is the woodland strata on non-National Forest and

nonreserved lands. For this population, 9,765 plots were evaluated, of which

1,262 were forested. All were sampled using a single fixed-radius plot. The

methods and results of this inventory are included in Van Hooser and others

(1993). The total number of plots evaluated for all three populations was

11,146, of which 2,542 were at least partially forest.

The current standard sampling intensity is one plot every 5,000 m, or

about 3-mile spacing (approximately one field plot per 6,178 acres). However,

a sample one-half that intensity was taken on the woodland strata (part of

population 3) in the northeastern quarter of the State. A map showing plot

distribution by design and sampling intensity is found in figure 2.

FIA inventories provide a probability-based sample of forest resources

across all ownerships that can be used for planning and analyses at local,

State, regional, and national levels. The sample was designed to meet

national standards for precision in State and regional estimates of forest

attributes.

A measure of the variability of inventory statistics is provided by standard

errors, listed in table 2 for estimates of area, volume, growth, and mortality

on forest land for the entire State. A 95 percent confidence interval can be

computed for any estimate by multiplying the estimate’s percent standard

error (SE) by 1.96, multiplying that product times the estimate, and then

adding and subtracting that product from the estimate to get the bounds. The

95 percent confidence interval for total forest land area in New Mexico is

between 16.2 and 17.1 million acres. Similarly, the estimate of total forest

land volume ranges between 15.3 and 16.6 billion cubic feet.

Users may compute statistical confidence for subdivisions of the reported

data using the formula below. Because sampling error increases as the area

or volume considered decreases, users should aggregate data categories as

much as possible. Sampling errors obtained from this method are only

approximations of reliability because this process assumes constant variance across all subdivisions of totals. The formula is:

Overview of Tables______________________________________________

Area of forest land, number of trees, wood volume and biomass, growth,

mortality, and removals are the primary categories for which statistics are

summarized and presented in the tables. There are five groups of tables.

Tables 1 through 27 are for all forest land, both reserved and nonreserved.

Tables 28 through 43 are for nonreserved forest land—forest land not

withdrawn from tree utilization through statute or administrative designation. Tables 44 through 81 are for nonreserved timberland, that is nonreserved

forest land that is 10 percent stocked and where timber species—those

species traditionally used for industrial wood products—comprise more than

half of the total stocking on the site. Tables 82 through 89 are for nonreserved

woodland, meaning forest land where timber species make up less than half

of the total stocking. The last group of tables, 90 through 111, is a set of tables

comparable to similar sets presented by other FIA groups across the nation

and used in the Resources Planning Act Assessment to represent lands

traditionally referred to as productive timberland. These “Core” tables are

primarily for nonreserved timberland that has a minimum productivity of 20

cubic feet per acre per year. Highlights presented in this report are for total

forest land and for nonreserved timberland.

Highlights of Inventory Results for Total Forest Land________________

Area

The State of New Mexico encompasses almost 78 million acres (table 1).

Approximately 21 percent of the area or about 16.7 million acres is forest land

(fig. 4). Forty-eight percent of the forest land is administered by the USDA

Forest Service, and 38 percent is private, which includes Indian Trust land

(fig. 5). Seven percent is administered by the USDI Bureau of Land Management (BLM), 5 percent is State owned, and the remaining 2 percent is other

public. About 10 percent of the forest land in New Mexico is in reserved

status. Unless otherwise indicated, lands of both reserved and nonreserved

status are included in the statistics in this report.

The area variables discussed below describe the structure and composition

of New Mexico forests. Some of the variables were originally developed to

describe forests in terms of growing-stock and timber production, and have

been adapted for use in describing all trees on all forest land.

Forest type—Forest type refers to the predominant tree species in a

stand, based on tree stocking, and is one indicator of forest diversity. As

shown in table 3, the pinyon-juniper type is by far the most abundant forest

type in New Mexico, covering over 8.8 million acres, or 53 percent of the forest

land. Another 1.0 million acres—over 6 percent—of the State’s forest land is

classified as pure juniper. Together, the pinyon-juniper and juniper types

compose almost 60 percent of New Mexico’s forest land. Figure 6 displays

area by land status for all forest types. Ponderosa pine is the second most

abundant forest type with 2.8 million acres, or about 17 percent. Douglas-fir

makes up 6 percent of the area; deciduous oak, 5 percent; white fir about 3

percent; and aspen and evergreen oak, about 2 percent each. Other miscellaneous types combined, including nonstocked woodland, make up the

remaining 5 percent of the forest land.

Aspen—Aspen-dominated stands are currently a minor component of

New Mexico forests, though they are considered important for providing

diversity of wildlife habitat, forage, and watershed values within the coniferdominated forests. Only about 365,000 acres currently have the predominance of aspen stocking required to be considered aspen forest type by FIA

definitions. Information from various sources (Bartos 1995; Bartos and

Campbell 1998; Johnson 1994) indicates that this important forest type is

declining in much of its Western range. Aspen forests are unusual because

they reproduce primarily by suckering from the parent root system. Often a

disturbance or dieback is necessary to stimulate regeneration of the stands.

Evidence suggests that aspen root systems have existed for thousands of

years, and because of this, even minor amounts of aspen in a stand probably

indicate that the site was at one time dominated by aspen. In an attempt to

shed more light on this issue, each location in the inventory data base was

examined for any presence of aspen. An estimated 1.6 million acres in New

Mexico have at least one live or dead aspen tree present. This number

indicates that under certain conditions, more New Mexico forest land could

be dominated by aspen. However, this does not imply that all 1.6 million acres

were ever simultaneously dominated by aspen.

Stand-size class—Another variable, stand-size class, classifies forest

land based on the predominant stocking by size of all live trees present (tables

4 through 7) and gives an idea of the overall structure of New Mexico forests.

Figure 7 shows area of forest land by stand-size class and owner group. This

figure illustrates that relatively few stands are composed mostly of small

trees (sapling/seedling), such as stands that have been recently harvested or

burned. Figure 7 shows a relatively small amount of nonstocked forest land;

this primarily includes sparsely stocked or marginal woodlands.

Stand age—Figure 8 illustrates area of forest land by stand-age class.

Stand age is an important forest attribute, but is difficult to quantify in

mixed-age stands and therefore should be used with caution. Stand age is

computed here using only the ages of trees within the computed stand-size

class, weighted by trees per acre. If a stand is nonstocked, the age is

considered unclassified. Based on these criteria, 48 percent of all forest

stands in New Mexico are estimated to be 51 to 100 years old, and another

22 percent are estimated to be 101 to 150 years old (table 11). Because trees

of all ages can occur together, and tree ages within the computed stand size

are averaged, this method of computing stand age does not necessarily

portray old-growth situations.

Basal area class—Basal area (BA) is the cross-sectional area of a tree

stem, expressed in square feet. The sum of the BA per acre of all live trees in

a stand is an indicator of the degree to which the site is being utilized for

growth. High levels of BA indicate dense stands that may have a high

potential for catastrophic fire or may be vulnerable to attack by insects or

disease. Table 10 presents area of forest land by forest type and basal area

class. Focusing on one forest type, figure 9 illustrates area of ponderosa pine

forest type by BA class and shows that more than half (69 percent) of the

ponderosa pine forest type in New Mexico has greater than 75 square feet of

BA. A range of 50 to 75 feet of BA was historically used as a management

target for production of wood fiber.

Stand density index—Stand density index (SDI), as developed by

Reineke (1933), is a relative measure of stand density that quantifies the

relationship between trees per acre, stand basal area, average stand diameter, and stocking of a forested stand; it is commonly used by managers

throughout the Southwest. The concept was developed for even-aged stands,

but can also be applied to unevenaged stands (Long and Daniel 1990; Shaw

2000). SDI is usually presented as a percentage of the maximum SDI for each

forest type (USDA Forest Service 1991). SDI was computed for each location

using those maximums (shown in table 12), and the results were grouped into

six classes (fig. 10). A site is considered to be fully occupied at 35 percent of

SDI maximum, which marks the onset of competition-related stresses and

slowed growth rates. IW-FIA estimates that 44 percent of all forest stands in

New Mexico are at or above 35 percent of SDI maximum. Figure 11 shows

area of mixed conifer (comprised of white fir, Douglas-fir, and blue spruce),

and ponderosa pine forest type groups by SDI class.

Habitat type—Habitat types describe lands in terms of their potential to

produce similar plant communities at successional climax. The climax plant

community, which is the theoretical end result of plant succession, reflects

the integration of environmental factors that affect vegetation such as soils,

climate, and landform. Habitat type classifications are named for the

predominant overstory and understory plant species at the time of successional climax. In the 1996 to 2000 inventory, New Mexico forests, including

woodlands, were classified using Stuever and Hayden (1996). Table 13

presents area of forest land by habitat type series and forest type, to give a

general indication of forest successional status for the State. Woodland

locations from older surveys were not classified by habitat type, and their

area shows up in the unclassified category. Although presented for the entire

State, this concept is more meaningful and more widely used at the site level.

Number of Trees

The composition of the State’s forest land by individual tree species is

another indicator of forest diversity. Figure 12 displays the distribution of

number of live trees on New Mexico forest land for the most abundant species.

Gambel oak is estimated to make up the highest percentage of number of

trees in New Mexico with 30 percent. The reason Gambel oak (deciduous oak

forest type) did not top the list of forest type area is because the trees are

usually small and often occur within the ponderosa or pinyon-juniper types.

The continuing order of species abundance is twoneedle pinyon, 21 percent;

ponderosa pine, 9 percent; oneseed juniper, 8 percent; Douglas-fir, 5 percent;

Arizona white oak, 4 percent; aspen, white fir, and alligator juniper, each 3

percent; and Engelmann spruce, corkbark fir, and Rocky Mountain juniper,

each 2 percent. Other species tallied in the inventory, each of which composed

less than 2 percent of the total number of trees, are Utah juniper, silverleaf

oak, New Mexico locust, southwestern white pine, bigtooth maple, Emory

oak, limber pine, blue spruce, subalpine fir, Rocky Mountain maple, border

pinyon, bristlecone pine, western honey mesquite, cottonwood, screwbean

mesquite, Apache pine, Mexican pinyon pine, Mexican blue oak, velvet

mesquite, chinkapin oak, boxelder, singleleaf pinyon, Chihuahua pine, and

evergreen oak (table 14). The evergreen oak category includes netleaf oak

and evergreen oak species from the earlier inventories.

Figure 13 displays number of trees on forest land by diameter class (both

d.b.h. and d.r.c.). In terms of sheer numbers, 70 percent of all live trees are

less than 5 inches in diameter (table 14). More than 95 percent of Gambel oak

and 63 percent of twoneedle pinyon (the two most common trees) are in the

1.0- to 4.9-inch class. These species are typically small, and Gambel oak often

sprouts in dense thickets.

Dead trees are an important component of forest ecosystems, providing

habitat for many species of wildlife and functioning as nutrient sinks. There

are roughly 158 million standing dead trees greater than 5.0 inches (snags)

in New Mexico (table 15). The number includes snags of all species and degree

of decay. Many wildlife species are dependent on snags, but the species, size,

and density of snags required vary according to the species of wildlife. Larger

snags are relatively scarce in relation to smaller snags. Considering snags 11

inches in diameter or larger, New Mexico forests average 3.0 snags per acre.

Of the very large snags, 19 inches in diameter or larger, New Mexico has

about 0.6 per acre. The most abundant species of snag overall is twoneedle

pinyon, and the most abundant species of snag in the 19 inch and larger

category is ponderosa pine.

These numbers represent averages over the total forest land area. Standing dead trees were only found on 50 percent of the forest land area, and 74

percent of the timberland area. Snags are difficult to sample adequately (Bull

and others 1990) because they are fewer in number and may be less randomly

distributed than live trees—occurring in patches because of fire, disease,

insect outbreaks, and so forth.

Biomass and Volume

The total biomass in all live trees (1.0 inch diameter and greater) in New

Mexico forests is estimated to be 296.3 million tons. Biomass includes boles,

bark, and branches of all live trees including saplings. Biomass is presented

by species in figure 14, and by species and diameter class in table 16. The

species estimated to have the greatest total biomass is ponderosa pine at over

84 million tons, 29 percent of the total biomass in the State.

Total net volume of wood in live trees 5.0 inches in diameter and larger in

New Mexico is estimated to be almost 16 billion cubic feet. Figure 15 shows

cubic-foot volume by species, table 18 shows cubic-foot volume by species and

owner, and table 19 shows volume by species and diameter class. The species

estimated to have the most cubic-foot volume in New Mexico is ponderosa

pine, with 25 percent of the total.

Growth and Mortality

Growth, as reported here, is the average annual growth over a 10-year

period based on increment core measurements. It is reported for the year

prior to the year of inventory. Gross annual growth of all trees on forest land

in New Mexico totaled about 306 million cubic feet. Net annual growth is the

difference between gross growth and losses due to mortality. Several species

have negative net growth in some diameter classes (table 22), indicating that

trees are dying faster than they are growing. About 62 percent of the net

annual growth in New Mexico occurred on National Forests. Ponderosa pine

alone accounted for 29 percent of the net growth.

Mortality is the average annual net volume of trees that have died in the

5 years prior to the year of inventory (table 23), expressed for the year prior

to the inventory. Mortality reduced gross growth by almost 15 percent to

about 259 million cubic feet of net annual growth. Although the exact cause

of death is sometimes unknown, or is the result of a combination of factors,

fire was estimated to be the primary cause of death, followed by disease and

insects (table 25).

Understory Vegetation and Ground Cover

In addition to information about the forest overstory, the average crown

canopy cover of shrubs, forbs, and graminoids (grasslike plants) by layer, as

well as percent bare ground, were collected at each field location. These data

complement the information on trees and help provide a more complete

picture of the diversity of New Mexico forests. Understory structure elements

provide hiding cover, forage, soil protection, fuels, and biomass. The amount

of ground cover can indicate where soils are protected from erosion.

Where forest was sampled, crews also recorded the name, percent crown

canopy cover, and height layer of up to four individual species in each lifeform

that had 5 percent or more cover. Table 26 summarizes lifeform cover

percent, percent bare ground, total number of different species and most

common species recorded, and number of sample observations in each forest

type.

The highest average percent bare ground (35 percent) is found in the

mesquite forest type. The highest percent average cover of shrubs (14

percent) occurred in the evergreen oak type, compared to the lowest average

shrub cover (3 percent) in the cottonwood type. The highest amount of

average forb cover (11 percent) was found in the aspen type, and the highest

amount of average grass cover (34 percent) was found in the mesquite type.

Figure 16 shows the 10 most common understory species encountered with

5 percent cover or greater on New Mexico forest land, by the number of

vegetation plots on which they were found. The species most often encountered with 5 percent or greater cover on all forest land is blue grama, found

on 29 percent (718) of all locations. Arizona fescue was the second most

common, and true mountain mahogany was third, found on 7 percent (176)

and 6 percent (154) of all locations, respectively.

Highlights of Inventory Results for Nonreserved Timberland ________

Area, Volume, and Net Growth

Because of the importance of wood products to local and regional economies, and for comparison with previous reports, some additional summaries

for nonreserved timberland are useful. Just over 26 percent (4.4 million

acres) of the forest land in New Mexico is nonreserved timberland, which

includes all owners but excludes land with 51 percent or greater woodland
16 USDA Forest Service Resour. Bull. RMRS-RB-3. 2003

stocking and all reserved lands. The area of nonreserved timberland by

owner group and productivity class is presented in figure 17 and tables 44

through 47. Seventy percent of the nonreserved timberland in New Mexico

is in the 20 to 49 cubic feet per acre per year productivity class. The

distribution of nonreserved timberland by owner group and stand volume

class is presented in figure 18 and table 48.

The total net volume of growing stock on nonreserved timberland is over

7 billion cubic feet, with 68 percent of that occurring on National Forest.

Ponderosa pine comprises the greatest percentage of growing-stock volume

on nonreserved timberland with 42 percent.

Removals

A broad definition of removals includes the net volume of growing stock

removed from the inventory by harvesting, cultural operations, land clearing, and changes in land use. Removals include both the volume processed

and the volume harvested or killed but not utilized. Removals, as reported

here, are based on data from one year—1999, and include only removals

related to harvesting. More details about New Mexico’s primary forest

products industry can be found in Keegan and others (2001). Figure 21 shows

volume removed from growing-stock volume by product and owner group.

Tables 79 through 81 show harvest and removals by product, species, and

owner group in cubic feet for growing-stock removals, as well as board feet

Scribner and International for sawtimber removals.

USDA Forest Service Resour. Bull. RMRS-RB-3. 2003 19

Just over 21 million cubic feet of wood, exclusive of land-clearing volume,

were removed from growing stock on New Mexico’s nonreserved forest land

in 1999. Ninety-five percent of the removals from growing stock was for

timber products, 1 percent was for fuelwood, and 4 percent was not utilized

and left in the woods as logging residues. Sawlogs were the largest component of removals from growing stock volume at 84 percent, followed by “other

products” (such as vigas, house logs, posts, and poles), at 10 percent, and

pulpwood at just over 1 percent. National Forests supplied 16 percent of the

volume removed from growing stock; other lands—primarily Indian Trust—

supplied 84 percent.

Sawtimber removals included 101.3 million board feet expressed in Scribner

rule or 115.5 million board feet expressed in International 1⁄4-inch rule.

Sawlogs dominated the products harvested from sawtimber, accounting for

88 percent of removals. Other products, primarily house logs and vigas,

accounted for 9 percent of sawtimber removals; pulpwood for 1 percent; and

fuelwood less than 1 percent. Two percent of sawtimber removals was not

utilized and was left in the woods as logging residue.

Ponderosa pine was the primary species harvested, accounting for over 57

percent of the growing stock and sawtimber volume removed (table 79).

Douglas-fir accounted for about 24 percent, with the remainder mostly true

firs and spruce. Altogether, removals reduced the available standing inventory by only about 0.3 percent of growing stock and 0.4 percent of sawtimber

(Scribner rule). The harvest attributed to each individual species was

roughly proportional to its share of the total inventory.

Components of Change

Removals and mortality are both components of change that reduce the

amount of growing-stock volume on New Mexico’s nonreserved timberlands.

is annual, based on an average over 10 years, and removals data are collected

for 1 year, this graph does not necessarily imply a trend of growth compared

to removals. What it does illustrate is that no species had more wood volume

removed in 1 year (1999) than the estimated average annual net growth.

Total growing-stock volume removed was only 15 percent of total net annual

growth of all species of growing stock on nonreserved timberland in New

Mexico. More information about trends in timber harvest in New Mexico can

be found in Keegan and others (2001).

Summary ______________________________________________________

This report presented a summary of the most recent inventory data

available for New Mexico’s forest lands. These findings were presented in a

format that is comparable to similar recent reports for other States. Most of

these data are available publicly. Changes in legislation and the mandates

directing FIA efforts have dictated a change to an annualized approach to

future inventories. Additional information about the FIA program, recent

changes, terminology, and database can be found by accessing the IW-FIA

web site at: www.fs.fed.us/rm/ogden

Standard Forest Inventory and Analysis Terminology ______________

Note: For a more complete glossary, please go to: http://www.fs.fed.us/rm/

ogden/state_reports/state_reports.html

Basal area (BA)—The cross-sectional area of a tree stem/bole (trunk) at the

point where diameter is measured, inclusive of bark; BA is expressed in

square feet. For timber species the calculation is based on diameter at

breast height (d.b.h.); for woodland species it is based on diameter at root

collar (d.r.c.).

Biomass—The quantity of wood fiber, for trees 1.0 inch in diameter and

larger, expressed in terms of oven-dry weight. Includes aboveground

portions of trees: bole/stem (trunk), bark, and branches. Biomass estimates can be computed for live and/or dead trees.

Bole—A trunk or main stem of a tree; seedlings and saplings are specified

as having stems rather than boles. Woodland trees are also referenced as

having stems.

Condition—Generally defined as an area of relatively uniform ground

cover, such as homogeneous vegetative cover, meeting minimum size

requirements.

Cubic-foot volume (merchantable)—See “Volume.”

Diameter at breast height (d.b.h.)—For timber species: the diameter of

a tree bole/stem (trunk) measured at breast height (4.5 feet above ground);

measured outside the bark. The point of diameter measurement may vary

for abnormally formed trees.

Diameter at root collar (d.r.c.)—For woodland trees: the diameter of a

tree stem(s) measured at root collar or at the point nearest the ground line

(whichever is higher) that represents the basal area of the tree; measured

outside the bark. For multistemmed woodland trees, d.r.c. is calculated

from an equation that incorporates the individual stem diameter measurements. The point of diameter measurement may vary for woodland trees
USDA Forest Service Resour. Bull. RMRS-RB-3. 2003 21

with stems that are abnormally formed. With the exception of seedlings,

woodland stems qualifying for measurement must be at least 1.0 inch in

diameter or larger and at least 1.0 foot in length.

Diameter class—A grouping of tree diameters (d.b.h. or d.r.c.) into classes

of a specified range. For some diameter classes, the number referenced (for

example, 4, 6, 8 inches) is designated as the midpoint of an individual class

range. For example, if 2-inch classes are specified (the range for an

individual class) and even numbers are referenced, the 6-inch class would

include trees 5.0 to 6.9 inches in diameter.

Field/plot location—A reference to the sample site or plot—an area

containing the field location center (LC) and all sample points. The

mapped-plot design field location consists of four subplots and four

microplots distributed over approximately 2.5 acres.

• Subplot—A 1/24-acre fixed-radius area (24-foot horizontal radius)

used to sample trees 5.0-inches d.b.h./d.r.c. and larger and understory

vegetation.

• Microplot—A 1/300-acre fixed-radius plot (6.8-foot radius), located at

the center of each subplot, used to inventory seedlings and saplings.

Fixed-radius plot—A circular sample plot of a specified horizontal radius:

1/300 acre = 6.8-foot radius (microplot); 1/24 acre = 24.0-foot radius

(subplot).

Forest industry lands—See “Private lands.”

Forest land—Land that is at least 10 percent stocked with live tally tree

species (timber or woodland species), including land that formerly had

such stocking and that may be regenerated naturally or artificially. The

minimum area for classification of forest land is 1 acre and 120-feet wide.

Unimproved roads, trails, streams, and openings in forest areas are

classified as forest land if they are less than 120-feet wide or 1 acre in size.

For field use, sufficient tree crown cover (5 percent cover of tally tree

species) or the presence of sufficient reproduction (40 tally tree species

seedlings/saplings per acre) is used to represent 10 percent forest land

stocking.

• Timberland—A subset of forest land, where the designated forest

type is derived from timber species.

• Woodland—A subset of forest land, where the designated forest type

is derived from woodland species.

• Nonstocked forest land—Formerly stocked forest land that currently has less than 10 percent stocking but has the potential to again

become 10 percent stocked. Examples include recently harvested,

burned, or windthrow-damaged areas.

Forest type (historic IW-FIA method)—A classification of forest land

based on and named for the tree species presently forming a plurality of

live-tree stocking. Stocking is an expression of the extent to which growing

space is effectively utilized by live trees. Some exceptions to the single

predominant species concept used for classifying forest type apply to sites

where (1) hardwoods and softwoods occur together in a stand, or (2) when

Engelmann spruce and subalpine fir occur together in a stand, and in

combination they compose the predominant live-tree stocking. When
22 USDA Forest Service Resour. Bull. RMRS-RB-3. 2003

hardwoods (for example, maple, oak, or aspen trees) and softwoods (for

example, Douglas-fir or ponderosa pine trees) occur together within a

stand, forest type is determined as follows: First, the stocking percents of

all softwoods are summed as a group, and then again for hardwoods, in

order to determine which of the two overall groups has the most live-tree

stocking. Next, the individual tree species from the group with the

majority of stocking is selected as the forest type. When Engelmann spruce

and subalpine fir (or corkbark fir) occur together in a stand, and in

combination they constitute the predominant live-tree stocking, forest

type is computed using the following criteria: First, all stocking percents

are adjusted from an absolute base to a relative base, where the sum of all

percents are equal to 100 percent maximum. Next, a stand is classified as

an Engelmann spruce type if Engelmann spruce individually is greater

than or equal to 20 percent relative stocking, and subalpine fir is less than

20 percent relative stocking. For all other stands where subalpine fir and

Engelmann spruce together have plurality, the stand is classified as the

spruce-fir type.

Growing stock—A term often used in cubic foot volume tables to describe

which trees are included in the net volume, annual growth, and annual

mortality estimates. Includes growing-stock trees 5.0-inches d.b.h. and

greater (excludes woodland species).

Growing-stock tree—See “Tree class – Sound tree.”

Growth—

• Gross annual growth—The average annual increase in the volume

of live trees (less deductions for cull volume).

• Net annual growth—Gross annual growth minus average annual

mortality volume.

Hardwood trees—Trees that are usually broad-leaved and deciduous

(leaves that fall off or shed at specific seasons).

Indian Trust lands—See “Private lands.”

Industrial wood—See “Logging residue/products.”

Large trees (Sawtimber trees)—See “Tree-size class.”

Logging residue/products—

• Industrial wood—All commercial roundwood products, excluding

fuelwood.

• Logging residue—The unused portions within the merchantable

sections of sound (growing-stock) trees cut or killed during logging

operations.

• Primary wood-processing plants—An industrial plant that processes roundwood products, such as sawlogs, pulpwood bolts, or veneer

logs.

• Pulpwood—Roundwood, whole-tree chips, or wood residues that are

used for the production of wood pulp.

• Roundwood—Logs, bolts, or other round sections cut from trees.

Mapped-plot design—A sampling technique that identifies (maps) and

separately classifies distinct “conditions” on the field location sample area.
USDA Forest Service Resour. Bull. RMRS-RB-3. 2003 23

Each condition must meet minimum size requirements. At the most basic

level, condition class delineations include forest land, nonforest land, and

water. Forest land conditions can be further subdivided into separate

condition classes if there are distinct variations in forest type, stand-size,

stand origin, and stand density, given that each distinct area meets

minimum size requirements.

Medium trees (Poletimber trees)—See “Tree-size class.”

Microplot—See “Field/plot location.”

Mortality tree—A standing or downed dead tree, 1.0-inch d.b.h./d.r.c. and

larger, that was alive within the past 5 years.

National Forest System (NFS) lands—See “Public lands.”

National Park System (NPS) lands—See “Public lands.”

Net annual growth—See “Growth.”

Nonforest land—For the FIA mapped-plot design baseline inventory,

nonforest land includes three main categories: (1) nontree land, (2)

nonsampled tree land, and (3) other tree land.

• Nontree land—This is land that (1) has never supported tree cover/

stocking sufficient for classification as forest land (for example, barren,

alpine tundra), or (2) was formerly tree land, but has been converted

to a nontree land status (for example, cropland, improved pasture).

Other examples of nontree land are improved roads of any width,

graded or otherwise regularly maintained for long-term use, and

rights-of-way of all powerlines, pipelines, other transmission lines,

and operating railroads. If intermingled in forest areas, unimproved

roads and nonforest strips must be at least 120-feet wide and 1 acre in

size to qualify as nontree land. This category also includes formerly

stocked woodland areas if they are currently nonstocked due to a

treatment (such as chaining, other land clearing). These areas are

treated to eliminate woodland trees for the purpose of enhancing or

providing for nonwood commodities or uses (such as increasing herbage production).

• Nonsampled tree land—This is land that currently meets the cover

or stocking requirements for forest land, but human activity on the site

will preclude the natural succession of the stand (areas that might be

included in this category are golf courses, cemeteries, picnic grounds,

orchards, Christmas tree plantations, and home yards with mowed

lawns).

• Other tree land—Land that is 10 percent stocked with trees defined

as “other tree species” (nontally tree species) but has less than 10

percent stocking or 5 percent cover in tally tree species. Examples

would include land stocked with tree species such as paloverde,

tamerisk, or Russian olive. See “Other tree species.”

Nonindustrial private lands—See “Private lands.”

Nonreserved forest land—Forest land not withdrawn from management for production of wood products through statute or administrative

designation.

Nonstocked forest land—See “Forest land.”
24 USDA Forest Service Resour. Bull. RMRS-RB-3. 2003

Other private lands—See “Private lands.”

Other public lands—See “Public lands.”

Other tree species (nontally species)—All species classified as trees

(Little 1979) that have not at this time been designated nationally by FIA

as tally tree species. For the purposes of classifying forest land, only tally

tree species are used to determine if minimal stocking requirements have

been met. Other tree species include turbinella oak, Russian olive, acacia,

etc. See “Nonforest land – Other tree land.”

Poletimber-size trees (Medium trees)—See “Tree-size class.”

Poletimber stands (Medium tree stands)—See “Stand-size class.”

Primary wood-processing plants—See “Logging residue/products.”

Private lands—

• Forest industry—Land owned by a company or an individual(s)

operating a primary wood-processing plant.

• Indian Trust—American Indian lands held in fee, or trust, by the

Federal Government, but administered for tribal groups or as individual trust allotments.

• Nonindustrial private—All private ownerships except forest

industry.

• Other private—Privately owned lands other than forest industry or

Indian Trust.

Productivity—Developed for timber species, the potential yield capability

of a stand calculated as a function of site index (expressed in terms of cubicfoot growth per acre per year at age of culmination of MAI). Productivity

values for forest land provide an indication of biological potential. Timberland stands are classified by the potential net annual growth attainable in

fully stocked natural stands. Woodland stands are given a default value of

10 cubic feet per acre per year. For FIA reporting, Productivity Class is

a variable that groups stand productivity values into categories of a

specified range. Productivity is sometimes referred to as “Yield” or “Mean

annual increment (MAI).”

Public lands—

• Miscellaneous Federal—Public lands administered by Federal agencies other than the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, or

the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Department of the Interior.

• National Forest System (NFS)—Public lands administered by the

Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, such as National

Forests, National Grasslands, and some National Recreation Areas.

• National Park—Public lands administered by the Park Service, U.S.

Department of the Interior, such as National Parks, National Monuments, National Historic Sites (such as National Memorials and

National Battlefields), and some National Recreation Areas.

• Other public—Public lands administered by agencies other than the

Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture. Includes lands administered by other Federal, State, county, and local government agencies,

including lands leased by these agencies for more than 50 years.
USDA Forest Service Resour. Bull. RMRS-RB-3. 2003 25

Pulpwood—See “Logging residue/products.”

Removals—The net volume of growing stock removed from the inventory by

harvesting or other cultural operations (such as timber-stand improvement), by land clearing, or by changes in land use (such as a shift to

wilderness).

Reserved land—Land withdrawn from management for production of wood

products through statute or administrative designation. Examples include Wilderness areas and National Parks and Monuments.

Sapling and seedling stands—See “Stand-size class.”

Saplings—See “Tree-size class.”

Sawlog portion (timber species)—That part of the bole of sawtimber-size

trees between a 1-foot stump and the sawlog top.

Sawtimber—A term often used in board-foot-volume tables to describe

which trees are included in net volume, annual growth, and annual

mortality estimates. Includes growing-stock trees 9.0-inches d.b.h. and

greater for softwoods, and 11.0-inches d.b.h. and greater for hardwoods.

Sawtimber-size trees (Large trees)—See “Tree-size class.”

Sawtimber stands (Large tree stands)—See “Stand-size class.”

Seedlings—See “Tree-size class.”

Site index—A measure of forest productivity for a timberland tree/stand.

Expressed in terms of the expected height (in feet) of site trees at an index

age of 50 (or 80 for aspen and cottonwood). Calculated from height-to-age

equations.

Site productivity—See “Productivity.”

Site tree—A timber species tree used to provide an index of site quality.

Timber species selected for site index calculations must meet specified

criteria with regards to age, diameter, crown class, and damage (for

example, no broken or dead top damage).

Snag—A standing dead tree. See “Tree class – Hard dead tree and Soft dead

tree.”

Softwood trees—Coniferous trees that are usually evergreen (retain leaves

year-round), and having needlelike or scalelike leaves.

Stand—A community of trees that can be distinguished from adjacent

communities due to similarities and uniformity in tree and site characteristics, such as age-class distribution, species composition, spatial arrangement, structure, and so forth.

Stand density— A relative measure that quantifies the relationship between trees per acre, stand basal area, average stand diameter, and

stocking of a forested stand. Stand density index (SDI), a widely used

measure developed by Reineke (1933), is an index that expresses relative

stand density based on a comparison of measured stand values with some

standard condition. For FIA reporting, the SDI for a site is usually

presented as a percentage of the maximum SDI for the forest type. Site SDI

values are sometimes grouped into SDI classes of a specified percentage

range. Maximum SDI values vary by species and region.
26 USDA Forest Service Resour. Bull. RMRS-RB-3. 2003

Standard error—An expression that denotes the precision of an estimate,

obtained by statistical sampling methods.

Stand-size class—A classification of forest land based on the predominant

diameter size of live trees presently forming the majority of live-tree

stocking. Classes are defined as follows:

• Sawtimber stand (Large-tree stand)—A stand at least 10 percent

stocked with live trees, in which half or more of the total stocking is

from live trees 5.0 inches or larger in diameter, and with sawtimber

(large tree) stocking equal to or greater than poletimber (medium tree)

stocking.

• Poletimber stand (Medium-tree stand)—A stand at least 10 percent stocked with live trees, in which half or more of the total stocking

is from live trees 5.0 inches or larger in diameter, and with poletimber

(medium tree) stocking exceeding sawtimber (large tree) stocking.

• Sapling/seedling stand—A stand at least 10 percent stocked with

live trees, in which half or more of the total stocking is from live trees

less than 5.0 inches in diameter.

• Nonstocked stand—A formerly stocked stand that currently has less

than 10 percent stocking, but has the potential to again become 10

percent stocked. For example, recently harvested, burned, or windthrowdamaged areas.

Stocking—An expression of the extent to which growing space is effectively

utilized by live trees.

Stocking condition (class)—A classification of forest land used to provide

an indication of the extent to which a site is being utilized by live trees

(including live cull trees).

• Overstocked—Sites at least 100 percent stocked.

• Fully stocked—Sites that are 60 to100 percent stocked.

• Medium to fully stocked—Sites that are 35 to 60 percent stocked.

• Poorly stocked—Sites that are 10 to 35 percent stocked.

• Nonstocked—Sites with a stocking value less than 10.

Subplot—See “Field/plot location.”

Tally trees—Tree species that have been selected to be included in the field

inventory/sample because they occur in a tree growth form throughout

much of their range (Little 1979). Tally tree species are categorized as

“timber” or “woodland” trees. Tally trees are evaluated for a variety of

items (such as crown class, crown ratio, damage, rotten/missing material,

form defect) and measurements (such as diameter, height) are taken on

each tally tree. This information is used to obtain estimates of volume,

growth, and mortality for the sample location. Tally tree data can also be

used to obtain estimates for other site variables, such as site quality and

health.

Timber species—Tree species traditionally used for industrial wood products. These include all species of conifers, except pinyon and juniper.

Hardwoods included are aspen, box elder, cottonwood, and paper birch.

Timber species are measured for diameter at breast height.
USDA Forest Service Resour. Bull. RMRS-RB-3. 2003 27

Timberland—See “Forest land.”

Tree class—A classification system based on a tree’s physical characteristics.

• Live trees are classified for Tree Class as follows:

– Sound tree (Growing-stock tree)—A live timber species, 5.0-

inches d.b.h. or larger, with less than two-thirds (67 percent) of the

merchantable volume cull, and containing at least one solid 8-foot

section, reasonably free of form defect, on the merchantable portion

of the tree. A live timber species sapling (1.0- to 4.9-inches d.b.h.) is

also included in this category if it is expected to become a sound live

tree, 5.0-inches d.b.h. or larger, with good form and vigor.

– Rough tree—A live timber species, 5.0-inches d.b.h. and larger,

with two-thirds (67 percent) or more of the merchantable volume

cull, and more than half of this cull is due to sound dead wood volume

loss, or severe form-defect volume loss (such as severe sweep, crook,

forks). Also, a live timber species sapling (1.0- to 4.9-inches d.b.h.)

that is not expected to become a sound (growing-stock) tree due to

defect, or a timber species (5.0-inches d.b.h. and larger) that does not

now, or prospectively, have at least one solid 8-foot section, reasonably free of form defect, on the merchantable portion.

– Rotten tree—A live timber species, 5.0-inches d.b.h. and larger,

with two-thirds (67 percent) or more of the merchantable volume

cull, and more than half of this cull is due to rotten and/or missing

material.

– Live woodland tree—A live tree of any woodland species.

• Dead trees (timber or woodland species) are classified for Tree Class as

follows:

– Hard dead tree (Salvable dead tree)—A standing dead tally

tree, 1.0-inch d.b.h./d.r.c. or larger, that has a minimum of one-third

of the original merchantable volume sound (less than two-thirds

rotten and/or missing material). Also, a down-dead tally tree, 1.0-

inch d.b.h./d.r.c. or larger, with a minimum of one-third of the

original merchantable volume sound and intact. See “Downed tree”

and “Standing tree.”

– Soft dead tree (Nonsalvable dead tree)—A standing dead tree,

1.0-inch d.b.h./d.r.c. or larger, that has less than one-third of the

original merchantable volume sound (more than two-thirds rotten/

missing material). Also, a down-dead tree, 1.0-inch d.b.h./d.r.c. or

larger, with less than one-third of the original merchantable bole

sound and intact. See “Downed tree” and “Standing tree.”

Tree-size class—A classification of trees based on d.b.h. for timber species

and d.r.c. for woodland species. For woodland trees, with the exception of

seedlings, stems qualifying for measurement must be at least 1.0 inch in

diameter or larger and at least 1.0 foot in length:

• Seedling—An established tree smaller than 1.0-inch d.b.h. for timber

species or 1.0-inch d.r.c. for woodland trees, and at least 4 inches tall

for softwoods and 12.0 inches tall for hardwoods.
28 USDA Forest Service Resour. Bull. RMRS-RB-3. 2003

• Sapling—A timber species 1.0- to 4.9-inches d.b.h.; also, a singlestemmed woodland tree 1.0- to 4.9-inches d.r.c., or a multistemmed

woodland tree with a cumulative d.r.c. of 1.0- to 4.9-inches.

• Poletimber-size tree or medium tree—A timber species at least

5.0-inches d.b.h., but smaller than 9.0-inches d.b.h. for a softwood, and

smaller than 11.0-inches d.b.h. for a hardwood. A woodland tree 5.0- to

8.9-inches d.r.c. (single stem measurement or computed multistem

measurement) is also included in this category.

• Sawtimber-size tree or large tree—A timber species that is at least

9.0-inches d.b.h. for a softwood, and at least 11.0-inches d.b.h. for a

hardwood. A woodland tree 9.0-inches d.r.c. and larger (single stem

measurement or computed multistem measurement) is also included

in this category.

Volume for Timber Species—

• Annual mortality volume—The net volume contained in timber

species (standing or down) that have died over a 1-year period. This

estimate is based on a 5-year average. Mortality volume for timber

species can be calculated in terms of cubic feet or board feet. See

“Mortality tree.”

• Board-foot volume—A board-foot is a unit of measure indicating the

amount of wood contained in an unfinished board 1-foot wide, 1-foot

long, and 1-inch thick. Board-foot volume is computed for the sawlog

portion of a sawtimber-size tree; the sawlog portion includes the part

of the bole on sawtimber-size tree from a 1-foot stump to a minimum

sawlog top of 7-inches diameter outside bark (d.o.b.) for softwoods, or

9-inches d.o.b. for hardwoods. Net board-foot volume is calculated

as the gross board-foot volume in the sawlog portion of a sawtimbersize tree, less deductions for cull (limited to rotten/missing material

and form defect cull deductions, referred to as the board-foot merchantability factor). Board-foot volume estimates are computed in

both Scribner and International 1⁄4-inch rule, and can be calculated for

live and/or dead (standing or down) trees.

• Cubic-foot volume (merchantable)—A cubic foot is a unit of measure indicating the amount of wood contained in a cube 1 x 1 x 1 foot.

Cubic-foot volume is computed for the merchantable portion of a

timber species tree; the merchantable portion includes that part of a

bole from a 1-foot stump to a minimum 4-inch top, d.o.b. Net cubic-foot

volume is calculated as the gross cubic-foot volume in the merchantable portion of a tree, less deductions for cull (limited to rotten/missing

cull deductions, referred to as the cubic-foot merchantability factor).

Merchantable cubic-foot volume estimates can be calculated for live

and/or dead (standing or down) trees.

Volume for Woodland Trees—

• Annual mortality volume—The net volume contained in woodland

trees (standing or down) that have died over a 1-year period. This

estimate is based on a 5-year average. Mortality volume for woodland

trees is calculated in cubic feet. See “Mortality tree.”
USDA Forest Service Resour. Bull. RMRS-RB-3. 2003 29

• Cubic-foot volume—A cubic-foot is a unit of measure indicating the

amount of wood contained in a cube 1x1x1 foot. Woodland cubic-foot

volume is computed for trees 5.0 inches and larger in diameter.

– Dead volume—For dead woodland trees, this volume is equal to

gross cubic-foot volume. For live woodland trees, dead volume is

calculated as gross cubic-foot volume times the field crew estimate

of percent sound dead volume loss. Cull deductions are limited to the

merchantable portion of a tree.

– Net volume—The gross cubic-foot volume of live woodland trees,

less deductions for rotten and missing material. This estimate

includes volume for dead material on live trees. Cull deductions are

limited to the merchantable portion of a tree.

Water—In terms of Ground Cover Classification, water includes streams,

sloughs, estuaries, and canals more than 30 feet in width; and, lakes,

reservoirs, and ponds more than 1 acre in size. Ephemeral and intermittent streams are classified as land. Water is further classified as “census

water” or “noncensus” water as follows:

• Census water—Rivers, streams, sloughs, estuaries, and canals, more

than 200 feet wide and 4.5 acres and larger in size; only portions of

rivers and streams meeting the definition criteria are considered

census water. Other census water includes lakes, reservoirs, and

ponds more than 4.5 acres and larger in size. Portions of braided

streams meeting the census water definition criteria and more than 50

percent water at normal high-water level are also considered census

water.

• Noncensus water—Portions of rivers, streams, sloughs, estuaries,

and canals that are 30 to 200 feet wide and at least 1 acre in size; and

lakes, reservoirs, and ponds 1 to 4.5 acres in size. Portions of rivers and

streams not meeting the criteria for census water, but at least 30 feet

wide and 1 acre in size, are considered noncensus water. Portions of

braided streams not meeting the criteria for census water, but at least

30 feet in width and 1 acre in size, and more than 50 percent water at

normal high-water level are also considered noncensus water.

Wilderness—An area of undeveloped land currently included in the Wilderness System, managed to preserve its natural conditions and retain its

primeval character and influence.

Woodland—See “Forest land.”

Woodland species—Tree species that are not usually converted into

industrial wood products. Common uses of woodland trees are fuelwood,

fenceposts, and Christmas trees. These species include pinyon, juniper

(except western juniper), mesquite, locust, mountain-mahogany, Rocky

Mountain maple, bigtooth maple, desert ironwood, and most oaks (chinkapin

oak is classified as a timber species). Because woodland trees are extremely variable in form, diameter is measured at the root collar.
