FOREWORD

Periodic surveys of forest resources are authorized by the Forest Service and

Rangeland Renewable Resources Research Act of 1978. These surveys are a

continuing, nationwide undertaking by the Regional Experiment Stations of the

USDAForest Service. In the Southern United States, these surveys are conducted

by the two Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) Research Work Units at the

Southern Research Station, Asheville, North Carolina. The two FL4 units, one

located in Starkville, Mississippi and the other in Asheville, North Carolina, are

responsible for inventories of 13 Southern States and the Commonwealth of

Puerto Rico. The primary objective of the surveys is to periodically inventory and

evaluate all forests and their related resources. These multiresource data help

provide a basis for formulating forest policies and programs and for the orderly

development and use of the resources. This report deals only with the extent and

condition of forest land, associated timber volumes, and rates of timber growth,

mortality, and removals.

INTRODUCTION

Tabulated results were derived from data obtained during a

1995 continuous forest inventory of southwest Arkansas

counties (fig. I). These data are considered preliminary; a

finalized State analytical report will be published after all

survey units in the State have been inventoried. Core tables (1

through 25) are compatible among Forest Inventory and

Analysis units in the Eastern United States. Supplemental

tables (26 through 44) provide information beyond that

provided by the core tables. Comparisons are made between

results of the 1995 inventory and the previous inventory

conducted in 1988.

Inventory and Analysis units. These changes may, in some

cases, affect the ability to discern minor shifts in resource

trends.

The estimates of timberland area, volume, growth,

removals, and mortality are based on the latest and most

up-to-date inventory techniques available. There are important

differences in the methods used between the 1995 and 1988

inventories. In many cases, improvements in methodology for

deriving current estimates can raise concerns about apparent

trends between survey periods. Because these differences

might appear to cloud the comparisons between 1995 and 1988

results, the major differences in procedures are documented

below.

METHODS

The Southern Research Station, Midsouth Forest Inventory

and Analysis (MIDSO-FIA) unit uses a two-phase sample of

temporary aerial-photo points and a systematic grid of

permanent ground plots. The area of forested land was

determined by photointerpretation of temporary points and

field checks of permanent plots. Field measurements were

conducted on a subset of permanent plots spaced 3 miles apart.

Trees were measured on plots that were forested at the time of

the current inventory or were forested at the time of the previous

inventory.

First, in order to account for changes in a new definition of

growing stock, trees classed as rough culls in 1978 and cut in

1988 were changed to growing stock (tree class 20). This

procedure was not implemented in the 1995 survey because

complete information pertinent to the new definition was

collected in 1988. If a live tree that was classed as a rough cull in

the 1988 survey was cut and utilized by the time of the

remeasurement in 1995, its tree class remained as a rough cull.

This will affect direct comparisons of growing-stock growth,

removals, and mortality.

Each plot consisted of 10 satellite points spread over about 1

acre. At each point, trees 5.0 inches in diameter at breast height

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

variable-radius plot defined by a 37.5-factor prism. Thus, each

tree selected with the prism represented 3.75 square feet of

basal area per acre. Trees from 1 .O to 4.9 inches in d.b.h. were

tallied on a l/275-acre fixed plot at each of the first three points

and at any remaining points where fewer than two trees 5.0

inches in d.b.h. or larger were tallied. If no trees greater than 1 .O

inch were tallied at a point, then seedlings were tallied. Several

plot-level measurements relating to timber and other forest

resources were also collected.

Second, there was a decrease in the utilizable volume

allowance that was used to classify trees as growing stock or

cull. In the 1995 survey, at least one-third of the volume in the

sawlog section (or prospective volume, in the case of

smaller-than-sawtimber size trees) had to be utilizable. In prior

surveys of Arkansas, one-half the volume had to be utilizable.

In previous inventories in the Midsouth States, few trees have

been affected where this change has been implemented.

Tree data were used to estimate volumes, basal areas,

numbers of trees, and other plot-level variables. Ownership

information was obtained for each measurement plot using tax

records and other sources. Plot-level estimates were expanded

using county-level factors derived as part of the forest area

determination.

Over successive inventories, techniques have evolved so

that some improvements have been implemented. In recent

inventories these changes have been mostly minor in scale and

have been incorporated because of the availability of better

methods or to achieve greater compatibility among Forest

Third, the land area base provided by the U.S. Census

Bureau has changed. Because the timberland area is

determined by summarizing forest vs. nonforest dot counts on

aerial photographs (in each county) and then applying the

resulting proportions to the Census Bureau land base, a change

in the land base between measurement periods will affect area

trends. The 1988 survey used the 1980 U.S. Census Bureau

land area estimates; the 1995 survey used the 1990 Census

Bureau estimates. Much of the change is due to the Census

Bureau’s new definition of the water classification; a small

portion of area previously classified as land is now classified as

water. Because the difference between the land area estimates

for 1980 and 1990 was a decrease of only 2,911 acres for the

State, the effect on timberland area trends will be negligible.

Because of the above modifications and to better assess

trends, the analysis of change in inventory volume, growth,

removals, and mortality will focus on live trees, rather than on

growing stock as has been the practices in the past.

STATISTICAL RELIABILITY

The sampling methods were designed to achieve suitable

sampling errors for estimates of area and volume at the State

level. Sampling error increases as the area or volume considered decreases. The sampling errors presented in table I are

equal to one standard error for the sample estimates and may be

used to compute confidence intervals for population data.

As an example, the 95percent confidence interval for growing-stock volume in southwest Arkansas counties is computed

as follows:

8,833.3*1.96(0.022x 8,833.3) = 8,833.3&380.9

where 1.96 is the number of standard deviations. Therefore, the

95percent confidence interval is 8,452.4 to 9,214.2 million cubic feet. This interval covers the true growing-stock inventory

volume for the region unless a 1 -in-20 chance of a random event

has occurred.

The results are reported for individual counties, thereby allowing computation of statistical confidence for any combination of counties. Values for individual counties are subject to

high sampling errors; users are cautioned about using data for

single counties. The sampling error may be estimated for any

group of counties by the following formula:

SE* t = SE,?

x*

where

S% = standard error of the estimate (expressed as a

percentage) for the group of counties desired

SE, = standard error of the estimate (expressed as a

percentage) for the unit

x, = total area or volume for the unit

% = sum of values for the variable of interest (area

or volume) for the group of counties to be combined.

For example, an estimate of the sampling error for growingstock volume in Calhoun, Ouachita, and Union Counties is

computed as:

SE, = 2.2

48,833.3

Jmiz- = 4*7*

Thus, the sampling error is 4.7 percent, and the resulting

95percent confidence interval for growing-stock volume in the

three-county area is 1,956.3 f 180.2 million cubic feet.

HIGHLIGHTS Stand Structure

Timberland Area

Timberland area increased 434,700 acres since the 1988

survey, to 6,880,500 acres. A total of 55 1,300 acres reverted to

timberland, and 115,000 timberland acres diverted to a

nonforest use. Eighty-seven percent of the reverted acres were

from farmland.

Forest Type

The predominant forest type group in southwest Arkansas

is the loblolly-shortleaf pine type, occurring on 3,017,500 acres

(44 percent of the timberland area). This represents a 450,000-

acre increase over that reported for 1988. The oak-pine,

oak-hickory, and bottomland hardwood forest type groups

share the remaining acreage with 19, 20, and 17 percent of

timberland area, respectively.

Ownership

Forest industry continues to be the leading ownership

category in southwest Arkansas, with 3,408,600 acres (50

percent) of timberland. Nonindustrial private owners are a

close second with 3,294,400 acres.

Stand Size

Most of the timberland in southwest Arkansas is in

sawtimber stands, 3,427,700 acres (50 percent). Sawtimber

acreage has increased 243,600 acres since 1988. A total of

1,421,500 and 2,019,OOO acres are in poletimber and

sapling-seedling stands, respectively.

.

The number of live softwood trees increased across the

range of diameter classes with the exception of decreases in the

24-, 26-, and 28-inch diameter classes. Exceptionally large

increases were in the 2-, 6-, 8- and lo-inch diameter classes;

each of these increased by more than 25 percent since the 1988

survey.

The number of live hardwood trees decreased in the 6-, 8-,

lo-, 12-, 14-, 16-, and 24-inch diameter classes (all by less than

6 percent). Slight gains were seen in the 2-, 4-, 1%, and 20-inch

classes. There were substantial gains in the 22-, 26-, 28-, and

30-inch and larger diameter classes (13,20,22, and 25 percent,

respectively).

The basal area for all live trees averaged 8 1.9 square feet

per acre, up only slightly from the 1988 survey (80.8 square feet

per acre). However, there was a shift in the softwood/hardwood

component; softwood basal area increased from 35.8 in 1988 to

39.9 square feet per acre in the current survey, while hardwood

basal area decreased from 44.9 in 1988 to 41.9 square feet per

acre.

Softwood Volume

Softwood live-tree volume increased 596.4 million cubic

feet to 5,382.4 million cubic feet. Volume increased in every

diameter class between 6 and 22 inches (with the exception of

the 14-inch class). Loblolly pine is the dominant softwood

species, with 84 percent of the volume, or 4,546.4 million cubic

feet. Current total sawtimber volume is 23,595 million board

feet.

Hardwood Volume

Hardwood live-tree volume decreased only slightly (92.1

million cubic feet) to 3,998.6 million cubic feet. The plurality

of volume is in the other red oaks species group, 1,023.O million

cubic feet (26 percent of hardwood volume). Sweetgum

follows closely in dominance with 946.9 million cubic feet.

Together, these two species groups make up 50 percent of

hardwood live-tree volume. Current total sawtimber volume is

11,408 million board feet.

3
Growth

Softwood live-tree net growth averaged 378.4 million

cubic feet per year, up 43 percent from the 1988 survey (table

II). Most of the gain was in the survivor growth

component--up 38 percent from 1988. The current

growth-to-removal ratio for the southwest unit is 1.14 to 1.

Hardwood live-tree net growth averages 113.2 million

cubic feet per year (table II). This represents a 19-percent

decrease since the 1988 survey and a 27.1 million cubic feet per

year loss in hardwood inventory. The current

removal-to-growth ratio is 1.46 to 1.

Removals

Softwood live-tree removals have increased 16 percent

over the 1988 survey. A total of 332.6 million cubic feet per

year are being removed from the inventory.

Hardwood live-tree removals increased 8 percent. They

are currently averaging 165.4 million cubic feet per year.

Mortality

Live-tree mortality has increased only slightly for both

softwoods and hardwoods. Currently, softwood mortality is

averaging 34.7 million cubic feet per year (up 9.7 million cubic

feet per year); hardwood mortality averages 45.3 million cubic

feet per year (up 5.0 million cubic feet per year).

Stocking

Stocking is a measure of the extent to which the growth 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. Therefore, full stocking is 100 percent of the stocking

standard.

Stocking categories are arbitrarily defined as follows:

OptimulZy stocked-Stands 61 to 100 percent stocked with

growing-stock trees. These stands are growing toward a fully

stocked condition (ideal space required for each tree increases

with age). Optimum growth and bole form occur in this range.

Overstoc~eUtands greater than 100 percent stocked with

growing-stock trees. These stands will become stagnant with

the mortality of individuals increasing as stocking increases

over 100 percent.

Understocked-Stands 0 to 60 percent stocked with growing-stock trees. These stands will take a very long time to reach

full stocking. Meanwhile, poor bole form will result, and much

of the productivity will be placed on heavy liibs instead of on

the bole.

lb? Classes

Commercial species-Tree species currently or potentially

suitable for industrial wood products.

Cull trees-Rough or rotten trees.

Growing-stock trees-Living trees of commercial species

classified as sawtimber, poletimber, saplings, and seedlings.

Trees must contain at least one 12-foot or two 8-foot logs in the

sawlog portion currently or potentially (if too small to qualify)

to be classed as growing stock. The log(s) must meet dimension

and merchantability standards to qualify. Trees must also have

currently or potentially one-third of the gross board-foot volume in sound wood.

Volume

Volume ofcull-The cubic-foot volume of sound wood in

rough and rotten trees at least 5.0 inches in d.b.h. from a l-foot

stump to a minimum 4.0-inch top d.o.b. of the central stem or to

the point where the central stem breaks into limbs.

Volume of growing stock-The cubic-foot volume of sound

wood in growing-stock trees at least 5.0 inches in d.b.h. from a

l-foot stump to a minimum 4.0~inch top d.o.b. of the central

stem or to the point where the central stem breaks into limbs.

the central stem or to the point where the central stem breaks

into limbs.

Volume of sawlog portion of sawtimber frees-The cubicfoot volume of sound wood in the sawlog portion of sawtimber

trees. Volume is the net result after deductions for rot, sweep,

and other defects that affect use for lumber.

Volume of suwtimber-The board-foot volume (International l/4-inch Rule) of sound wood in the sawlog portion of

sawtimber trees. Volume is the net result after deductions for

rot, sweep, and other defects that affect use for lumber.

Volume of timber-The cubic-foot volume of sound wood
