The Southern Forest Survey, an activity of the

Southern Forest Experiment Station Forest Inventory

and Analysis work unit, covers the States of Alabama,

Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma,

Tennessee, and East Texas, and the island of Puerto

Rico.

This survey is part of the nationwide Forest Survey

originally authorized by the MeSweeney-McNary Act of

1928. More recent legislation pertinent to the survey

mission includes the Forest and Rangeland Renewable

Resources Planning Act of 1974 and the Forest and

Rangeland Renewable Resources Research Act of

l-978. The survey mission is to develop, analyze, and

maintain renewable forest resource information, This

information is essential for formulation of forest policies

and programs.

Forest Statistics for Southwest Arkansas Counties - 1988

F. Dee Hines

INTRODUCTION

Tabulated results were derived from data

obtained during a recent inventory of 20 counties

comprising the Southwest Unit of Arkansas (fig.

1). Data on forest acreage and timber volume

were secured by a three-step process. A

forest-nonforest 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 3840 acres. Finally,

field measurements were made at forest

locations on the intersections of grid lines spaced

3 miles apart. At these forest locations, per-acre

estimates were obtained from trees measured on

ten 37.5 basal area factor prism points.

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, equal to one standard deviation for the

sample data, may be used to construct confidence

intervals for population parameters. For

example, at the 95 percent confidence level, the

confidence interval for growing-stock volume (in

million cubic feet) in the Southwest Unit of

Arkansas (with a sampling error of 2.3 percent)

is

8321.8 k 1.96(0.023 x 8321.8) =

8321.8 + 375.1

where 1.96 is the number of standard

deviations. This confidence interval

indicates that the actual growing-stock

volume lies in the range 7946.7 to 8696.9

million cubic feet, unless a 1 in 20 chance

has occurred.

Sampling errors for sub-groups of counties in

the unit may be estimated by the following

formula:

SE, = S&j/%

d-x0

where:

SE = standard error of estimate

x = (;;T&:“ff”isl;ey;;;ent)

(area or volume)

g = group of counties to be combined

t = total for the unit.

For example, the sampling error estimate of

growing-stock volume for Columbia and Union

counties is 5.6 percent. Thus, the 95 percent

confidence interval for growing-stock volume is

1397.6 k 153.4 million cubic feet.

Ownership information is obtained by the

same systematic sample outlined above. County

courthouse records are used to obtain ownership

information for each forested plot. An

expansion factor representing timberland area in

that county is then applied to the ownership

group the plot represents. Next, the ownership

groups are totaled for each county. Thus,

acreages reported at the county level are

estimates and may not exactly match known

totals for each ownership category within that

county.

In order to achieve greater compatibility

among Forest Inventory and Analysis Projects, a

new tree grading classification has been initiated

for the 1988 Arkansas survey. Tree grade 5 is

used for trees currently or prospectively capable

ofproducing at least one 12-foot log or two 8-foot

logs in the saw-log portion but not able to

produce a 12-foot log in the butt 16 feet. These

the impact of this change on volume and growth. and is now at 3018.9 thousand acres.

For comparative purposes 1978 survey data

were reprocessed using current procedures.

Therefore, differences between 1978 and 1988

data should reflect resource changes and not data

processing differences. Results from the

reprocessed 1978 data are used for comparison

to 1988 data in the Highlights that follow.

Acreage covered by the various forest types

has changed in southwest Arkansas since the

previous survey. The largest change is the

22-percent increase in area covered by the

oak-hickory forest type. Bottomland hardwood

types, which include the oak-gum-cypress and

elm-ash-cottonwood types, have dropped 180.4

thousand acres or about 15 percent. The

loblolly-shortleaf and oak-pine forest types are

relatively unchanged, down only 1 and 2 percent

respectively.

HIGHLIGHTS

Timberland Area

The Southwest Unit of Arkansas is the most

heavily forested area in the State. Seventy-three

percent of the area is forested. The total area of

timberland, 6445.8 thousand acres, is essentially

unchanged since the previous survey in 1978.

Forest industries have acquired 4 percent

more timberland than they had in 1978 and now

hold 3260.9 thousand acres. This acreage, 51

percent of the total, includes land under

long-term lease. Other publicly owned land

2

The survey also shows some interesting

differences in stand structure since 1978.

Although the area of sawtimber stands remained

relatively stable at 3330.5 thousand acres, area in

poletimber stands dereased by 12 percent is now

at 1473.0 thousand acres. Sapling-seedling

stands increased by 14 percent. Much of the

increase in sapling-seedling stand area can be

accounted for by a 90-percent increase in

plantation acreage. Plantations now cover

1147.0 thousand acres, almost 18 percent of the

timberland in Southwest Arkansas.

Number of Trees Timber Volume

The total number of live trees in the

Southwest Unit of Arkansas has decreased by 17

percent. Both softwood and hardwood live tree

numbers are down. Hardwood total live tree

numbers are down 6 percent with all diameter

classes below 18 inches showing losses.

Similarly, diameter classes of softwood live trees

below 18 inches also show decreases except for

the 6-inch class where a small increase is seen.

The total number of softwood trees decreased by

9 percent.

Softwood volumes have decreased since the

previous inventory. Softwood growing-stock

volume decreased 5 percent and is now 4695.1

million cubic feet. This is different from the

17-percent increase between the 1968 and 1978

surveys. Sawtimber volume of softwoods shows

the same pattern, decreasing 5 percent between

1978 and 1988 and increasing 22 percent between

1969 and 1978. Currently softwood sawtimber

volume is 20884.3 million board feet.

Growing-stock tree numbers have also

decreased since the survey of 1978. The total is

off by 31 percent. Softwood and hardwood totals

are down by 19 and 38 percent respectively. In

the softwoods, all diameter classes below 18

inches have decreased. Again, hardwood

growing-stock trees have decreased in all

diameter classes below 12 inches and in the

16-inch class. Most of the drop in growing-stock

trees, both softwoods and hardwoods, was in the

4-inch class and below.

Conversely, hardwood volumes show the

opposite pattern for the current inventory. Both

growing-stock and sawtimber volume have

increased for the 1988 survey. Growing-stock

volume is 3626.8 million cubic feet, a 5-percent

increase. Similarly sawtimber is up 14 percent to

11026.8 million board feet. Total hardwood

volumes were essentially the same-between the

1968Tnd 1978 inventories.

3
Growth, Removals, and Mortality

Average net annual growth of growing stock

is down for both softwoods and hardwoods.

Softwood growing-stock growth, now at 275.5

million cubic feet annually, has decreased 11

percent since the 1978 estimate. Net annual

growth of hardwood growing-stock volume is

148.7 million cubic feet. This represents a

4-percent decline.

increase over the previous level. Total

sawtimber mortality has increased 30 percent to

143.4 million board feet annually.

Average net annual growth of sawtimber has

decreaed for softwoods, while hardwoods show

an increase. Sawtimber growth of softwood is

currently estimated at 1282.7 million board feet

annually. This ll-percent decrease is contrasted

by the 22-percent increase seen for hardwoods.

Hardwood net annual growth on sawtimber is

551.5 million board feet.

The 1988 survey shows all removals to be

above 1978 levels. Net annual removals of

growing stock are up 35 percent for softwood and

7 percent for hardwood. Similarly, net annual

removals of sawtimber are up 37 percent for

softwoods and 15 percent for hardwoods.

Softwood growing-stock removals are now 300.7

million cubic feet while softwood sawtimber

removals are 1381.0 million board feet.

Removals from hardwood growing stock are

estimated at 135.3 million cubic feet. Sawtimber

removals of hardwood are 416.4 million board

feet.

Attention shoud be drawn to the fact that

removals exceed growth for softwood growing

stock and sawtimber situation could have an

impact on future supplies in this area. However,

the large increase in plantation acreage is

encouraging.

Although hardwood growth of growing stock

has decreased, growth is still greater than

removals. However, as Table II indicates,

without the inclusion of tree grade 5 trees in

growing stock, hardwood removals of growing

stock would exceed growth as in softwood

growing-stock growth. Hardwood sawtimber

shows a favorable growth-to-removal ratio with

or without tree grade 5 trees.

Mortality totals for the Southwest Unit of

Arkansas have increased. The current survey

shows total mortality of growing stock at 56.1

million cubic feet annually. This is a 41-percent
