Abstract

These tables were derived from data obtained during a 1978 inventory of 10 counties comprising the Quachita Unit of Arkansas (fig. 1). Forest area was estimated from aerial photos with an adjustment of ground truth at selected locations. Sample plots were systematically established at three-mile intervals using a grid orientated roughly N-S and E-W. At each locations, prism sample points were distributed over approximately 1 acre. Volume estimates were based on measurements of trees selected at these sample points.
