THE SOUTHERN FOREST SUR VEY ",'­

The Southern Forest Survey, an activity of the Southern 

Forest Experiment Station, covers the seven States of the 

S tat ion 1sterr ito r y--Alabama, Arkansas. Louisiana, 

Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas. This Survey is a part of the nation-wide Forest Survey authorized by the McSweeney-McNary Forest Research Act of 

1928. Its five-fold purpose is (1) to take inventory of the 

supply of standing timber and other forest products; (2) to 

ascertain the rate at which this supply is being increased 

through growth; (3) to de t e r min e the rate at which this 

supply is being dim in ish e d through industrial and local 

use, and by fire, insects, disease, and other agencies; 

(4) to estimate the present requirements and the probable 

future trend in the requirements for timber and other forest products; and (5) to correlate these findingsw.i:tn 

existing and anticipated economic conditions, in order that 

policies may be formulated for the effective use of lands 

suitable for forest production. 

The Forest Survey of Tennessee is the first intensive inventory to be made of the State's forest land and timber 

resources. An earlier estimate was made by the Forest 

Service in its 1945 Reappraisal of the forest situation. Because of complex differences· in mensurational standards 

and procedures and the greater sampling intensity of the 

For'est Survey, changes in forest conditions in Tennessee 

cannot be measured by comparing Survey figures with those 

of the Reappraisal. A valid comparison will be possible 

only when an intensive resurvey is made in the future.

TIMBER VOLUME BY COUNTY IN TENNESSEE, 1948..50 

The accompanying data on total and sawlog growing-stock volume in Tennessee counties are intended for use in compiling timber 

volumes for groups of counties other than those recognozed ill Forest 

Survey Release 70. 

Since the sampling procedure used by the Southern Forest 

Survey in Tennessee was intended primarily to provide inventory 

estimate.s for the State as a whole, individual county estimCl.tes have 

limited and variable accuracy. In some cases, they may be highly 

unreliable. 

Generally speaking, combinations of county volume estimates 

are good only for groups of counties including at least a million 

acres of forest land.

FOREST STATISTICS FOR TENNESSEE 

This report of forest acreage, timber volume, growth, and 

drain!lfor Tennessee is based on data collected bI the Southern Fores.t Survey between July 1948 and November 1950. _I A more comprehensive analysis of Tennessee's forest resources and industries will 

be published later. 

Highlights of the Forest Situation 

State almost half forested 

Extending from the Mississippi River to the Appalachian 

Mountains, Tennessee has a land area of 26.9 million acres, of which 

12.6 million acres or 47 percent is in forest. Virtually all of the forest is capable of producing commercial timber. About 2 percent, 

chiefly in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, is withdrawn from 

commercial timber use. Of the commercial forest acreage, 91 percent is privately owned; the remainder is almost entirely in State and 

F ede ralownership. 

Tennessee has considerable physiographic variation. and the 

proportion of forest (table 1) ranges from 30 to 69 percent within the 

five Survey regions (fig. 1) into which the State is divided.

~/The regional data on forest area and timber volume which are incorporated in this report were first published in Forest Survey Releases 

63 and 66. 

The west--central part, bordering the Tennessee River, is 

hilly and broken. Though 62 percent forested. it also is characterized 

by a largely agricultural economy. 

The central portion. around Nashville, has fertile limestone soils and some poorer shales and sandstones. Here again farming is the chief form of livelihood, and no more than 37 percent of the 

land is in forest. 

The eastern Highland Rim and Cumberland Plateau sections, 

. grouped in this report into the Plateau region. have the highest propo.rtion of forest land--69 percent. The Highland Rim has a flat to 

r.olling topography. Some of its soils are suited to crops, but others 

are among the least fertile in the State. The Cumberland Plateau 

averages about 2. 000 feet in elevation. Its soils are mainly thin, 

porous, and unproductive for farming. 

East Tennes see, with 49 percent of its land in forest, is 


made up of two physiographic areas--the Great Valley and the Unaka 


and Smoky Mountains. The Valley is 30 to 60 miles wide and is com­


posed of a succession of minor valleys and ridges. Some deep soils 


and many prosperous farms are found in the valleys. The Mountains, 


rough and rugged. extend along the North Carolina line in a strip 2 to 


20 tniles wide. 


Hardwood forests predominate 

Tennessee is a transition zone where characteristically 


southern species meet and intermingle with species whose greatest 


occurrence is farther north. Southern species of oaks and gums are 


mixed with northern oaks and sugar maple. On the Cumberland Pla­


teau and Appalachian Mountains. the ranges of shortleaf and Virginia 


pine overlap those of white pine and hemlock. In the higher parts of 


the Appalachians. spruce and fir also extend their range southward 


into Tennessee. 


Two-thirds of the commercial forest acreage is in upland 

hardwood forest types (fig. 2). Upland hardwoods are conspicuously 

predominant in the west-central and central portions of the State. 

Southern yellow pine types compose 16 percent and oCcur mainly in 

the Plateau region a.nd east Tennessee. Bottomland hardwoods are 

important only in the extreme western part of the State. Cedar types 

- 3 ­
are widely distributed, but are of principal importance in the central 

region. 

Stands largely cordwood size 

Less than one-fourth of Tennessee's commercial forest 

acreage (fig. 3) is still in saw-timber stands--that is, has a volume 

of 1,500 board feet per acre in merchantable sawlog-size trees. By 

far the greatest part, about three-fifths, is in cordwood stands. 

Most of the remaining acreage is in seedlings and saplings. There 

are only minor denuded areas.

Figure 3. --Forest types by stand size, 1948-50. 

As is indicated by figure 3. 25 percent of the area in hardwood types and 20 percent of that in softwood types is in saw-tim.ber 

stands. Cordwood stands comprise some 60 percent of the area in 

both hardwood and softwood types. The smaller stand sizes--principally seedlings and saplings--occupy 14 percent of the hardwood types, 

19 percent of the softwoods. 

Three-fifths of stands well stocked 

Considering all well-formed trees, including well-established seedlings, 58 percent of the commercial forest in the State 

(fig. 4) can be said to be well stocked, i. e., has 70 percent or more 

of the number of good trees required for full stocking. Thirty-three 

percent is medium stocked. or has 40 to 69 percent of the number of 

trees required for full stocking. About 8 percent is poorly stocked, 

and only 1 percent is nonstocked. Best stocking occurs in east 

Tennessee and the Plateau region. 

- 4 ­
In addition to the 

stocking of good trees, however, there is a large accumulation of cull trees occupying 

growing space that could better be used by trees of good 

form and quality. Culls make 

up three-tenths of the total 

basal area of all trees five 

inches d. b. h. and larger. If 

the basal area in sound, wellformed 2- and 4-inch trees is 

added to the basal area of all 

trees 5 inches d. b. h. and 

larger, the proportion of cull 

is one-fourth. On the same 

basis. the proportion of cull 

averages almost four-tenths

Total growing stock 

(which includes sawlog growing

4 inches inside bark) amounts to 

4. 9 billion cubic feet. Thus the 

average for the State is 400 cubic feet or about 6 cords per 

acre of commercial forest land. 

Hardwood volume exceeds softwood in all sections of the State 

(fig. 5). Softwoods are important only in the east and Plateau regions. Over half of the 

total growing stock (54 percent) 

is in sawlog trees (fig. 6).

1/ All cedar saw10gs were graded as No. 1. 

Quality is closely related to tree size. Almost seven-tenths 

of the hardwood sawlog volume in trees 20 inches d. b. h. and larger is 

in grades 1 and 2--that is, logs which yield at least 65 and 40 percent 

respectively of their net volume in No. 1 Common and better grades of 

-7­
lumber. Even in the 14- to 18-inch tree size-class, some two-tenths 

of the sawlog volume is in grades 1 and 2. The 12-inch class is entirely grade 3, which yields less than 40 percent No. 1 Common and 

better. 

As for softwoods, grade 1 and 2 trees comprise 45 percent 

of the sawlog volume in trees 20 inches d. b. h. and larger; 38 percent 

of the volume in 14- to 18-inch trees; and 24 percent in 10- and 12­

inch trees. (Grade 1 and 2 softwood trees have at least 12 feet of 

clea.r bole and 25 percent of the merchantable length clear of limbs 

and knots in sections not Ie s s than 8 feet in length. ) 

One-quarter of the grade 3 hardwood material and one-sixth 

of the grade 3 softwood is in fair or better stands--that is, stands 

with at least four grade 2 hardwood logs or softwood trees per acre, 

Of the acreage in saw-timber stands, 42 percent of the area 

in hardwood types and 33 percent of the area in softwood types is in 

fair or better stands. 

Annual total growth, 244 million cubic feet; sawlog growth, 877 

million board feet 

Current net annual growth of the pre sent timber stands is 

estimated at 244 million cubic feet for all growing stock, including 

sawlog trees; and 877 million board feet for sawlog growing stock 

alone. These estimates include allowances for advance of small trees 

into cubic- and board-foot volume sizes, and deductions for mortality 

due to causes other than cutting, such as suppression, fire, disease, 

insects, and wind throw" 

Net annual growth per acre averages 20 cubic feet (about 

3/10 cord) for all growing stock and 71 board feet for sawlog growing 

stock. These averages are far below the full potentiality of the State IS 

forest lands. 

Total 1949 drain, 209 million cubic feet; sawlog drain, 1 billion board 

feet 

In 1949, logging removed an estimated 209 million cubic 

feet from all growing stock. Of this, lumber made up 48 percent; fuel 

wood 34 percent; pulpwood 3 percent; other products 15 percent (fig. 9). 

Seven-tenths of the total drain was from hardwoods.

Figure 9 .. --Drain on total growing stock by commodity, 1949. 

The timber cut from sawlog growing stock totaled 1,013 

million board feet. This drain on sawlog trees alone differs from 

total drain chiefly in that sawlogs for .1urn'ber make up 58 percent; 

fuel wood 28 percent; pulpwqod 1 percent; other products 13 percent. 

The 1949 sawlog drain exceeded annual growth of sawlog 

growing stock, but total annual growth of all growing stock was greater than total drain. Softwoods, principally southern pine s, were 

seriously overcut: .drain exceeded growth by 57 percent for sawlog 

trees. and by 17 percent for all growing stock trees. The hardwood 

situation is decidedly more favorable--sawlog drain exceeded growth 

by only 4 pe rcent while the growth on total growing stock exceeded 

the total 1949 drain by 30 percent. 

The production from this drain fed Tennessee's primary 

forest industries, which include some 2,700 sawmills, 4 pulp mills, 

and 191 non:-lu.rnber establishments manufacturing handle- and 

cooperage-stock, hardwood dim.ension. veneer, and other products. 

The sawmills are chiefly of small size except for a g.roup of larger 

mills in the Memphis area. There is considerable use of wood for 

fuel, fence posts, and miscellaneous farm timbers.

Accuracy of the Survey 

The estimates of forest acreage and timber volume are 

based upon a systematic sampling system involving a foreRt-nonforest 

classification on aerial photographs and on-the-ground measurement 

of g.uarter-acre sCI.mple plots. The sample plots were taken in pairs 

at and near the intersections of a grid of east-west and north-south 

linef'l spaced three miles apart. 

Accuracy of the estimates may be affected by two types 

of error. The first type stems from the use of a sample to estimate 

the whole and from variability of the item being sampled. This type 

is tern"led sampling error; it is susceptible to a mathematical evaluation of the probability of error. The second type of error derives 

from human mistakes in measurement. jud.gment, arithmetic, or 

recordin.g, and. from limitations of method or equipment. Effects of 

this second type of error--often referred to as reporting and esti·· 

mating error--are not susceptible to a mathematical appraisal, but 

the Forest Survey constantly attempts to hold such errors to a 

minimum by proper training and good supervision, and by emphasis 

on careful work. 

Statistical analysis of the data, using random-sampling 

formulas. indicates a sampling error of 0.4 percent for the State 

estimate of total forest area, 1. 7 percent for total cubic-foot volume, 

a.nd 2. •. 3 percent for total board-foot volume. However, because a 

systematic sample is generally more efficient than a random sample 

of the same size. these estimates of sampling error may be con.­

sidered as setting an upper limit of error, rather than as expressing 

the actual probability of error. 

As the St ate total acreage and volumes are broken down by 

Survey region.. county, forest type, species, and other subdivisions 

of the data, the possibility of error increases and is grea.test for the 

smallest items. The order of this increase is suggested in the 

following tabu~ation. which shows the sampling error to which the 

estimates may be liable on a probability of two chances out of three.

Growth estimates are based on radial-growth measurements and mortality data taken on the sample plots. No attempt was 

made to calculate sampling error in the growth estimates. 

Drain estimates are conversions of production estimates. Lumber production was estimated from a survey conducted by 

the U. S. Bureau of Census. For other commodities a canvass of timber production was conducted by the Forest Service, with some 

assistance from the Division of Forestry Relations of the Tennessee 

Valley Auth~ority. Commercial log and bolt production. other than 

for lumber, was obtained by a 100-percent canvass of establishments 

or producers. Production 

of fuel wood and fence posts, 

and for miscellaneous domestic use on farms was estimated from an area sample. 

The data on production of each 

commodity were converted to 

drain upon growing stock by 

using drain-to-production 

ratios derived from measurements taken on sample cutting areas The sampling 

errors to which the State 

cubic-foot drain estimates 

are liable, on a probability 

of two chances out of three, 

are found in the tabulation 

to the right.

Definitions of Terms 

Forest Land 

Forest land. Land which bears forest growth, or land from which 

the forest has been removed and which has not been put to other 

use, Each tract classed as forest is at least one acre in size. 

Commercial forest land. Forest land bearing, or capable of bearing. timber of commercial quantity and qualitYj and not withdrawn 

from commercial timber use. 

Reserved-commercial forest land. Forest land in public parks or 

preserves which qualifies as commercial forest land except that 

it is withdrawn from commercial timber use through statute, ordinance, or administrative order. 

Tree Species 

Softwoods. Southern pines, principally shortleaf (Pinus echinata) 

and Virginia (P, virginiana); eastern white pine (P. strobus); hemlock (Tsuga canadensis); eastern redcedar (Juniperus virsiniana); 

and baldcypress (Taxodium distichum). 

Hardwoods. Broadleaved species, of which the most numerous genera 

or species are the oaks (Quercus spp. ); hickories (Carya spp. ); and 

yellow-poplar (Lirioden\iron tulipifera). 

Forest Type 

Forest type is determined only from dominant and codominant growing 

stock and dominant and codominant smaller sound trees of good form. 

Southern yellow pine. Stands in which southern pines comprise at 

least 25 percent of the trees. 

Cedar. Stands in which eastern redcedar comprises at least 25 percent of the trees, 

Other softwood. Stands in which softwood species other than southern 

pines or cedar comprise at least 25 percent of the trees. The principal species are eastern white pine and hemlock. 

Bottomland hardwood. Stands in which bottomland hardwoods and cypress comprise 76 percent or more of the trees. 

- 44­
Upland hardwood. Stands in which upland hardwoods comprise 76 percent or more of the trees, and no pine is present. 

Upland hardwood-pine. Stands in which upland hardwoods comprise 76 

percent or more of the trees, and some pine is present. 

Class of Timber 

Growing stock. Sawlog growing stock is the sawlog portion of sawlog trees. Total growing stock includes sawlog growing stock and 

upper sterns of softwood sawlog trees and entire sterns of cordwood 

trees to a minimum diameter of 4 inches inside bark. 

Sawlog tree. A live, merchantable softwood 9.0 inches or larger 

in d. b. h., or a live, merchantable hardwood 11. 0 inches or larger 

in d.b. h. To be merchantable. the tree must have at least a merchantable l2-foot butt log or 50 percent of its groBs volume in 

merchantable logs. 

CordWood tree. A live tree 5.0 inches or larger in d. b. h., but 

smaller than sawlog size, which would become a sawlog tree if it 

should grow to sawlog size. 

Cull tree. A live tree 5. 0 inches or larger in d. b. h., which because 

of decay or sound defect fails to meet the specifications for a cordwood or sawlog tree. 

Tops and limbs. Upper stems and limbs of hardwood sawlog trees 

between the top sawlog and a minimum diameter of 4 inches inside 

bark. 

Stand-size Class 

Large saw timber" Stands having a net volume of at least I, 500 

board feet per acre in sawlog trees and at least half of this volurne 

in softwoods 15.0 inches d. b. h. and larger, and hardwoods 17.0 

inches d. b. h. and larger. 

Small saw timber. Stands which do not meet the specifications for 

large saw timber but which do contain a net volurne of at least 

1, 500 board feet per acre in sawlog trees. 

Cordwood. Stands below saw-timber specifications. with at least 10 

perce~t of the growing space occupied by growing stock, and with at 

least S. percent of the growing space occupied by cordwood trees. 

- 45 ­
Seedling and sapling. Stands that do not meet saw-timber and cordwood specifications in which at least 10 percent of the gz:owing space 

is occupied by growing stock and smaller sound trees of commercial 

species, and with at least 5 percent of the space occupied by seedlings and saplings. 

Denuded. Commercial forest land which does not qualify for any other 

stand-size class. 

Tree Stocking 

Degree of stocking is determined by the ratio of the actual 

number of growing-stock and smaller sound trees of good form in the 

stand to the number of trees of the same size required to occupy the 

site fully (for best growth). Under this criterion, stands are well 

stocked wben the percentage of full stocking is 70 or above, medium 

stocked when the percentage is 40 to 69, poorly stocked when the percentage is 10to 39, and nonstocked when the percentage is under 10. 

Volume and Bas al Area 

Sawlog volume. Net volume in merchantable sawlogs in sawlog trees, 

measured by the International 1/4-inch log rule. 

Total volume. Volume of sound, usable wood in stems of softwoods 

and stems and branches of hardwoods between stump and minimum 

top diameter of 4 inches inside bark, measured in cubic feet. 

Basal area. Cross-sectional area of trees at breast height, measured 

in square feet. 

Diameter 

D. b. h. (diameter breast high). Tree diameter in inches, outside bark. 

measured at 4-1/2 feet above ground. 

Diameter class. Each 2-inch diameter class includes diameters 1. 0 

inch below and 0.9 inch above the stated midpoint. E. g" the 12-inch 

class includes trees 11.0up to and including 12.9 inches. I ~ 

J:::'-,~~7"· 

Growth 

Current annual net growth. The change during the inventory year in 

net volume of the growing stock on commercial forest land resulting 

from natural causes exclusive of catastrophic losses. 

- 46 ­
Drain 

Net volume removed from the growing stock through cutting of timber commodities and attendant logging waste. 

Log and Tree Grade 

Tree grades for softwoods: 

Grade 1 (smoothU trees), Not less than 20 feet of clear 

bole and at least 40 percent of the merchantable length 

clear of limbs and knots in sections not less than 8 feet 

in length. All cedar sawlog trees were graded as No. 1. 

Grade 2 (limby trees), Not less than 12 feet of clear bole 

and 25 to 39 percent of the merchantable length clear of 

limbs and knots in sections not less than 8 feet in length. 

Grade 3 (rough trees). Merchantable trees below grade-2 

specifications. 

Log grades for hardwoods: ':.! 

Grade 1. Logs having five-sixths or more of their length 

on the 3 best faces in clear-cuttings not less than 3 feet 

long; they yield at least 65 percent of their volume in No. 1 

Common and better grades of lumber. 

Grade 2, Logs having two-thirds to five-sixths of their entire length on the 3 best faces in clear-cuttings not less than 

3 feet long; they yield at least 40 percent of their volume in 

No, 1 Common and better grades of lumber. 

Grade 3.-­

--A. Logs below grade 2, having 1/2 or more of their 

entire length on the 3 best faces in clear-cuttings not less 

than2 feet long; they yield at least 13 percent of their volume 

in No. 1 Common and better grades of lumber. 

1/ Except as noted in the case of cedar. 

2/ For detailed external specifications of log grades used, see Fore st 

Service Committee on Interim Hardwood Sawlog Grades, "Interim sawlog grades for southern hardwoods, 11 Southern Forest Experiment Station, 

9 pp., illus. Rev. 1948. 

- 47 ­
--B. Logs which do not meet the clear~cutting requirements of 3A or higher grades, but which are sound. reasonably straight, and without large knots or knot cluAters; they 

are suitable for ties or low-grade structural timbers. 

Stand Quality 

Fa.ir and better. A stand in which at least four grade 2 or better hardwood logs or softwood trees are present per acre. 

Poor. A stand in which fewer than four grade 2 or better hardwood logs 

or softwood trees are present pe l' acre.

Standard Forest Survey Tables 

To insure that Forest Survey statistics for the different 

States and major forest regions of the country are on a comparable 

basis, a plan for nationally standardized terminology, definitions, 

forest categories, and summary table s has been formulated. The 

survey of Tennesseels forests was partly completed before the plan 

was promulgated, and therefore the foregoing tables do not conform 

in every respect to present national standards. 

Chief differences are: (1) the national standards make some 

changes in the forest type categories used in the foregoing tables; 

(2) upper-stem volume of hardwood saw-timber trees is included in 

growing stock under the national standards but excluded from growing stock in the foregoing tables; (3) limb volume of both merchantable and cull hardwood saw-timber trees is included in a single 

category under the national standards, whereas the hardwood tops 

and limbs category in the foregoing tables includes upper-stem and 

limb volumes of merchantable hardwood saw timber but excludes 

upper stems and limbs of hardwood cull trees; and (4) the foregoing 

tables use some regional terms--as, for example, "cordwood trees" 

and "cordwood stands ll for the nationally adopted terms of "pole 

timber trees" and Ilpole tin"lber stands. II 

There follows a set of 10 nationally standard tables in which 

data from the foregoing tables have been adjusted to conform as 

nearly as possible to the national Forest Survey standards. It will 

be noted that estimates of cubic volume for timber inventory, growth, 

and drain are all affected by this adjustment.
