Stem Cubic-Foot Volume Tables for Tree Species in the Upper Coastal Plain

Abstract

Stemwood cubic-foot volume inside bark tables are presented for 11 species and 8 species groups based on equations used to estimate timber sale volumes on national forests in the Upper Coastal Plain. Tables are based on form class measurement data for 521 trees sampled in the Upper Coastal Plain and taper data collected across the South. A series of tables is 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 9-inch d.o.b. top for hardwoods. Sawtimber tables display saw-log stem volume by log (18-foot) and half-log (8-foot) intervals and also show stemwood volume to a 7-inch d.o.b. top for softwoods, to a g-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 5-feet height intervals.
