Abstract

These tables were derived from data obtained during a 1978 inventory of 21 counties comprising the North and South Delta Units of Arkansas (fig. 1). Forest area was estimated from aerial photos with an adjustment for ground truth at selected locations. Sample plots were systematically established at three-mile intervals using a grid oriented roughly N-S and E-W. At each location, prism sample points were distributed over approximately 1 acre. Volume estimates were based on measurement of trees selected at these sample points.
