Stem Cubic-Foot Volume Tables for Tree Species in the South

Abstract

Stemwood cubic-foot volume tables were presented for 44 species and 10 species groups based on equations used to estimate timber sale volumes on national forests in the South. Tables are based on taper data for 13,469 trees sampled from Virginia to Texas. A series of tables are presented for each species based on diameter at breast height (d.b.h.) in combination with total height and height to a 4-inch diameter outside bark (d.o.b.) top. Volume tables are also presented based on d.b.h. in combination with height to a 7-inch d.o.b. top for softwoods and height to a O-inch d.o.b. top for hardwoods. Sawtimber tables display saw-log stem volume by log (16-foot) and half log (8-foot) intervals and also show stemwood volume to a 7-inch d.o.b. top for softwoods, to a 9-inch d.o.b. top for hardwoods and to a 4-inch d.o.b. top for all species. Pulpwood tables show stemwood volume to a 4-inch d.o.b. top in B-feet height intervals.
