Forest statistics for Arkansas' Ouachita counties - 1988

Informally Refereed

Abstract

Tabulated results were derived from data obtained during a recent inventory of 10 counties comprising the Ouachita Unit of Arkansas. 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 3,840 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.
