1 Executive Summary

The Comprehensive Statewide Forest Inventory Analysis and Study (CSFIAS), authorized by the 2012 House Bill HB7117, provides comprehensive statewide assessment of timber biomass resources on forestlands for the State of Florida by using a stratified inventory approach. This approach provides an overall estimate of timber volume, net growth, timber removal levels, and their spatial distribution across the state. In addition, the project identifies and leverages forest ownership to improve timber estimates by considering areas that are non-harvestable forestlands because of legal or policy reasons. Ownership influence on timber harvest is one example where the 2014 analyses were modified. Other areas of the analysis were modified based on stakeholder input. The following report details the original analysis and its modification for the 2014 update.

The methods used for the project are presented in this Technical Report and the results from the study are located in the Executive Report and Map Book. This report details the approach which used 2013 Landsat OLI TIRS and legacy Landsat TM imagery (30 m spatial resolution) in combination with the Florida land cover dataset created in 2013 for the original project to update the forestland cover, age, and origin data layers. The primary plot information used for the assessment was from the United States Forest Service’s (USFS) Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program. The 2011 forestland cover layer was predominantly created by combining three existing statewide data layers – (1) the Florida Land Use and Cover Classification System (FLUCCS), (2) the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Coastal Services Center’s Coastal Change Analysis Program (CCAP), and (3) the Florida Forest Service’s (FFS) Florida Risk Assessment Canopy Inventory Project (FRACIP) and updating it to 2013 conditions and the classification system required by the project. Other datasets, such as soil type and habitat land cover, were also used to support the analyses and updates for 2011. To build the 2013 stand age dataset, the team performed change detection and change vector analyses using Landsat TM and Multispectral Scanner (MSS) imagery and existing CCAP datasets to create a time series of forestland cover change. By identifying changes in forest stands, such as clear-cutting or natural disturbances, it was possible to estimate an approximate date of origin, and therefore age, for current stands. This was updated in 2014 by assessing the change of land cover using Landsat imagery and by increasing the age of 2011 stands by two years. Areas of cleared forestland which were not converted to urban or agricultural uses were considered to still be forestland. The 2011 and updates to the 2013 stand origin data layer was created using FLUCCS, state lands data obtained from FFS, volunteered private information, and photo interpretation to identify areas planted with trees versus areas with naturally regenerating vegetation. Forestland ownership datasets for the entire state were also developed and categorized by federal, state, local government, and private ownerships with sub-categories. These datasets were derived from 2012 and 2013 Florida Department of Revenue (DOR) parcel data overlain on the 2013 forestland cover dataset. A single layer that combined forestland cover (B), age (A) and origin (P) data layers, singularly the BAP layer, was created and used for the stratification of FIA plots. The FIA plots were grouped together based on their BAP labels that were derived from plot data and were


averaged into 0 – 20 years, 20 – 40 years and > 40 years age classes. Strata tables for each BAP class were calculated. These strata tables were then linked to the BAP map using an alphanumeric join. These data were then used to estimate standing timber for three timber product classes: sub-merchantable, pulpwood and sawtimber. Note: In 2013 the analysis grouped cypress with pine; however the 2014 update grouped cypress with hardwoods. The net timber growth data was also broken into timber product classes and pine and hardwood & cypress groups. Net growth rate for each stratum was calculated using measured FIA plot growth for each FIA forest type, age class (0 – 20, 20 – 40 and > 40 years), and origin by FIA unit. Florida contains four FIA Units which were aggregated into Northern Region, comprised of Units 1 and 2, and Southern Region, comprised of Units 3 and 4. The resulting data were linked to the BAP strata map and estimates of net timber growth were calculated and summarized by county and FIA unit for the state of Florida. Removals of forest products were estimated using known mill locations, mill capacities and mill surveys. These layers were summed by county for the known mills. The sustainability indices (net timber growth to timber removal ratios) and the timber availability estimates (net timber growth minus timber removal) for pulpwood and sawtimber timber product types in each pine, and hardwood & cypress species groups were developed for each Florida county and FIA unit. The Section 5 of this report describes improvements made to the approach and strategies for future updates, and recommends future steps.


2 Introduction The Comprehensive Statewide Forest Inventory Analysis and Study (CSFIAS), authorized by the 2012 House Bill HB7117, was developed to facilitate study of the growing removal on Florida’s timber biomass resources for both traditional forest product industry and energy generation. The needs of new industries require a balance against current removal on timber biomass from established forest product industries and the ability of the ecosystem to sustainably support timber removal. The risk of over-utilization has been identified by the State of Florida as a concern. This project resulted from understanding the need to assess the current timber biomass resource and continue to assess the spatial distribution of the resource as a result of annual changes brought by timber removals, stand growth as well as natural disasters such as fires, floods and hurricanes. To address this issue, the project provides a comprehensive statewide inventory of timber biomass resources for the State of Florida using a stratified inventory approach. The approach not only provides an overall quantity but also provides the spatial distribution of this information. However, as it applies to any stratified inventory, the validity of the assessment increases as the assessment area increases. The plot data used for the assessment were from the United States Forest Service’s (USFS) Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program. The mapping of forest cover types used remote sensing approaches and leveraged off existing available geographic information systems (GIS) data sets from a variety of sources within Florida. The main mapping data source was Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery mainly from Landsat 5 and 8 which have a spatial resolution of 30 m. The Landsat sensors adequately detect changes over large landscapes but are not optimal for detecting changes over small areas. The historic record of Landsat makes it appropriate for this type of project, and it aligns well with federal programs such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Coastal Services Center’s Coastal Change Analysis Program (CCAP) which is also based off Landsat data. In addition to timber biomass mapping and inventory, this project estimated removals of timber resources by mills and identified forest ownerships across the state. Removal of timber resources is driven by the activities of mills in the state and what type of timber products they consume. Therefore, mill locations, woodsheds, and wood products were taken into consideration when estimating timber removal and calculating sustainability index and availability. Not all timber biomass was available for harvest as there are large areas of the state that are protected/ preserved. Forest ownership was identified across the state and mapped into federal, state, local government and private categories to support the current analyses, and the reserved status of the timber was considered when calculating the sustainability indices. The following report focuses on the technical approach and includes the look-up tables, imagery scenes used, and details on the processes employed. There are two companion reports that can be obtained from the Florida Forest Service:

1) The Map Book containing 11” x 17” maps and tables presenting the results of the analyses in an easy-to-view format.

2) The Executive Report discussing the results of the analyses within a narrative with smaller format maps, charts, and selected tables.


3 Overview of Project This section provides an overview of the project to help the reader understand the full scope prior to reading the detailed approach for each task. This project leveraged off data already available in Florida in order to meet the requirements and timeline of the project for the 2013 study to 2011 conditions. In the 2014 study, these data were updated to 2013 conditions. The overall approach was to create the forestland cover, stand age and origin layers from a combination of GIS analyses and satellite remote sensing. This resulted in a forestland cover x age x origin layer that was used for stratifying Florida FIA data. In addition to the land cover mapping, the team gathered information on ownership and mill locations to facilitate other components of the project. These elements were then used to calculate the standing timber volumes and tonnages, estimate timber removal, and then calculate sustainability indices and estimates of timber biomass availability in Florida.

A short summary describing source datasets and datasets created for this project is provided below. More details can be found in the next section.

3.1 Origin and Description of Main Source Datasets Used in this Project

• FLUCCS: The Florida Land Use and Cover Classification System (FLUCCS) was originally established by the Florida Department of Transportation (DOT) in response to the need for a statewide, uniform land classification system that could be applied at varying landscape scales and meet different user needs. Currently, data are maintained by Florida’s five water management districts: Northwest Florida (NWFWMD), Suwannee River (SRWMD), St. John’s River (SJRWMD), Southwest Florida (SWFWMD) and South Florida (SFWMD). FLUCCS includes over 200 vegetation and land use classes arranged in four hierarchical levels with each level increasing in detail. Depending on the district, the data vary in vintage between 2008 and 2011 and in level of detail.

• FRACIP: The Florida Forest Service (FFS) Florida Risk Assessment Canopy Inventory Project (FRACIP) dataset, created in 2008, divides the landscape into vegetation classes that relate to canopy fire behavior. The dataset includes 3 layers - species groups, canopy closure and tree size - all of which are based on 30 meter Landsat imagery. The species layer contains 18 forest type classes.

• CCAP: The NOAA Coastal Services Center creates and maintains a standardized land cover database of the coastal United States based on 30 meter Landsat satellite imagery as part of their Coastal Change Analysis Program (CCAP). Since 1996, this database is updated every five years by mapping land cover change and then updating the previous land cover map with the change data which includes 25 vegetation and land use classes.

• FIA: The Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) Program of the USFS provides the information needed to assess the nation’s forests. FIA reports on status and trends in forest area and location; in the species, size, and health of trees; in tree growth, mortality, and removals; in wood production and utilization rates by various products; and in forestland ownership. It consists of a uniform grid placed over the entire United States (U.S.), including Florida, where forested plots are sampled with a well-defined protocol. These plots are permanent and are re-measured every 5 years. Their exact locations cannot be disclosed per U.S. privacy and confidentiality laws, so there are limitations on the use of these data which will be further explained in this report.

3.2 Geospatial Datasets Constructed for this Project 1. Forestland Cover 2011: The forestland cover dataset was developed through using the

FLUCCS, FRACIP and CCAP datasets. This was achieved by crosswalking the classes in each dataset to the project classification scheme, resampling the FLUCCS to the 30 m grid that the other data were in, and then overlaying the datasets in combinations and looking for agreement between data layers. Where disagreements were found, a series of logical models were developed to deal with the differences in resolution and classification schemes. The land cover dataset was updated to 2011 conditions using 2011 Landsat TM imagery and the 2011 CCAP update. The Landsat imagery was also used to classify specific classes where there was uncertainty in the way these classes were mapped in the base datasets. Longleaf pine was one such class. Since the minimum mapping unit (MMU) was 10 acres, specific classes in the map were filtered to remove speckle and small inclusions. Some classes, however, were preserved, such as


cypress domes, because they often occur in small areas and filtering them out would impact the results of the analyses. Urban areas were based on urban FLUCCS codes, but increases in urbanization were added via the 2011 CCAP update and manual review. Once completed, the whole dataset was reviewed against high resolution aerial imagery from Bing and Google, and specific areas were hand edited prior to delivery.

a) Update to 2013 conditions: 2013 Forestland cover update involved the assessment of change using Landsat 8 imagery collected in 2013. Using automated change detection methods, change areas were identified and reclassified into either forestland or other land covers based on the area’s classification. All change areas were reviewed using high resolution imagery to verify the classification. In addition, some forest land owners provided the team their land cover maps that were used to correct errors in the 2011 map. As a result, the 2011 dataset was first updated using these ancillary datasets and then the 2011 map was updated to the 2013 date using the imagery change detection approaches.

2. Forest Stand Age 2011: The change detection used two approaches to create a time series of information about forestlands between 1972 and 2011. Forest layers already existed for 1996, 2001 and 2006 as part of NOAA CCAP, although the definitions of forest differ between that classification scheme and this project. The change between 2006 and 2011 was analyzed using the approved USGS and NOAA Multi-Index Integrated Change Analysis (MIICA) methodology. This methodology has been used for the current NOAA CCAP approach nationwide, and it is being used for the update of the National Land Cover Dataset. Tracking forestland changes provided information that could be used to date the clearing of land and it was assumed that replanting would occur soon after that time unless the land was converted to urban land uses. For areas of forest that existed before 1996, a change vector analysis for seasonally matched Landsat scenes was conducted. The change vector allows the analysis of both the magnitude and direction of change between the two datasets. For the period between 1986 and 1996, Landsat TM imagery was used. For the period between 1972 and 1986, Landsat Multispectral Scanner (MSS) imagery was used. The 60 m MSS imagery was interpolated to a 30 m resolution to make it compatible with the rest of the data. The interpolation combined logical rules with spectral analysis. The 1972 date was created by separating young and old pine stands from the 1977 MSS imagery.

a) Update to 2013 conditions: The temporal interval of imagery was shorter (2 years) than the stand age interval (5 years) forest age was updated in two ways. First, any areas that were harvested and remaining in forest the stand age class was reset to 0 – 5 years. Second, 2011 stands had 2/5 of their area increased into the next age class. The remaining 3/5 of the area stayed at the original 2011 age. These adjusted areas and adjusted age classes were then tabulated and used for summary table calculations.

3. Timber Product Class 2013: The timber product dataset was created by linking the FIA derived data tables to the appropriate forestland cover type (B), age (A) and origin (P) classes. This combination dataset (BAP) had a pixel resolution of 30 m. From this dataset timber product values based on the diameter and species of the inventoried trees were calculated for each pixel. The strata tables included four timber product types: pine pulpwood, pine chip-n-saw and sawtimber, hardwood & cypress pulpwood and hardwood & cypress sawtimber. Many BAP strata tables have more than one timber product, the summary by county of each product is provided in the summary tables.

4. Origin 2011: Tree plantations were identified using two main datasets: FLUCCS and FFS state-owned lands. The original FLUCCS layer identified tree plantations and the state-owned lands dataset contained stand origin as being planted or natural. Many


stands did not have an origin type. In these cases, the origin was photo-interpreted with the help of high resolution imagery from Google.

a) Update to 2013 conditions: The updated dataset utilized information provided by forest landowners to first bring up to date the 2011 dataset with more accurate ancillary information. Then areas where forests had been harvested and were assumed to return to pine plantation unless there was other information to indicate otherwise.

5. Ownership 2013: Forest ownership was determined by examination of statewide parcel shapefiles and databases maintained by the Florida Department of Revenue (DOR). Parcels containing forest were identified and classified at a primary and sub-category levels. The primary ownership category identified federal, state, local/municipal government, and private ownerships. The sub-category ownership detailed individual agencies or departments within public ownership categories, as well as a host of private corporate and other ownership types. Ownership was determined by searching records for specific keywords indicating specific categories and was also refined by consultation with outside data sets and publications.

6. Wood Mills 2013: The FFS primary wood-using mills list was the starting point for the analysis of timber removal. The type and quantity of products generated by each mill were identified along with the timber species and size class employed as raw material. A survey was conducted for all known mills to provide information on product and county where the product came from. For mills that did not respond to the survey conversion factors were utilized to move from finished product volume to timber product volume, a representation of each mill’s removal for timber products when operating at full capacity. Woodshed boundaries were then determined for each mill as a function of mill size and product types. Each mill’s removal for timber was then distributed across its woodshed, a geographic area defined by distances from 75 to 90 road miles from the mill location. This distribution of removal was applied in further analyses of timber resource sustainability and availability. Details of this approach are covered later in this report.

7. Timber Resources 2013: The distribution of timber resources was mapped for each of the 67 Florida counties and included layers with values for standing timber, net timber growth, timber removal, sustainability index, and timber availability. These values were calculated for each of the four timber product types: pine pulpwood and pine chip-n-saw and sawtimber, and hardwood & cypress pulpwood and hardwood & cypress sawtimber. Standing timber, in green tons, was summarized in each county using the statewide timber product maps created earlier. The other four timber resource data types were calculated, per county, using the statewide timber product maps in addition to the mills and woodshed data.


4 Stepwise description of methods used for all data development and data sources

4.1 Forest Cover Classification Scheme The first element of any land cover map is its classification scheme. This scheme needs to be hierarchical, totally exhaustive (i.e. every location can be classified), mutually exclusive (i.e. no location can get more than one label), and have a ruleset defining the classes. The classification scheme developed for this project was based on discussions with FFS and review of the datasets. The decision rules are shown below and are used for dividing the land area into classes.

4.1.1 Classification Ruleset The classification ruleset was set up like a key with “if” and “else” statements, so when a user ran through the key, he/she could identify what cover type the area fell into. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If land is under urban land uses (defined by the FLUCCS definitions of urban), then Urban Else if land is used for agricultural production or grassland (tree canopy < 20%) and land not considered forestland (does not include orchards), then Agriculture/Grassland If areas are cultivated, then Row-crops Else Pasture and range Else if land is covered by water, then Water Else if land is wetland (as defined by Florida Statutes, from FLUCCS or National Wetlands Inventory (NWI)), then Wetlands If woody canopy is > 20%, then Forested Wetlands If > 75% area is covered by Cypress wetland complex vegetation, then Cypress (as defined by FLUCCS) Else if > 75% area is covered by the Mangroves, then Mangroves Else Other Forested Wetlands (e.g. wet hardwoods, Bays) Else Non-Forested Wetlands Else if land is used or has been used for forestry and is not urban, then Forestland

If > 75% of canopy is conifer, then Pine If pine is < 10 years old, then Young Pine Else if > 75% of the canopy is Sand Pine, then Sand Pine

Else if in South Florida (defined by division line) and if > 75% of the canopy is Longleaf and South Florida Slash, then Longleaf/South Florida Slash Else if in South Florida Loblolly and North Florida Slash (will include Pond, Shortleaf etc.)

Else if in North Florida and > 75% of the canopy is Longleaf, then Longleaf Else Loblolly and North Florida Slash Else if > 75% of canopy is broadleaf then Hardwood Forest Else Mixed Pine-Hardwood Forest

Else if land is used for tree fruit or seed production, then Tree Orchards If >75% of the tree canopy is used for Forest Seed Production, then Forest Seed Production (Note this class has been edited in based on ancillary data)

Else Fruit Production Orchards (include Citrus and Pecan) will also include nurseries Else Other (non-vegetated areas). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


4.2 Data Sources The next section reviews the multiple imagery and GIS datasets that were used in this project.

4.2.1 Imagery Used

4.2.1.2 High Resolution Imagery Sources High-resolution imagery was used as a reference dataset for photo-interpretation and quality control of the training and accuracy assessment sites. Google Earth and Bing provide imagery


from many sources for many different dates that support this analysis. The majority of the State of Florida is covered by imagery flown by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP). Google Earth’s multi-date capability, often extending backwards to the early 1990s, was frequently used for photo-interpretation of stand age.

4.2.2 Other Data Used Statewide land cover was obtained from three primary sources: NOAA CCAP, FLUCCS, and FFS FRACIP.

4.2.2.1 NOAA Coastal Change Analysis Program (CCAP) The NOAA Coastal Services Center creates and maintains a standardized land cover database of the coastal United States based on 30 m Landsat satellite imagery as part of CCAP. This database is updated every five years by mapping land cover change and then updating the previous land cover map with the change data which includes 25 vegetation and land use classes. The CCAP land cover data layers are available for 1996, 2001, and 2006. Photo Science recently completed the 2011 CCAP land cover update for the entire state of Florida that was used in this analysis. The base dataset for CCAP is in North American Datum 1983 (NAD83) Albers and was reprojected to Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Albers HPGN/HARN1 for the project as requested by the FFS.

4.2.2.2 Florida Land Use, Cover and forms Classification System (FLUCCS) FLUCCS was originally established by the DOT in response to the need for a statewide, uniform land classification system that could be applied at varying landscape scales and meet different user needs. Currently, data are maintained by Florida’s five water management districts: NWFWMD, SRWMD, SJRWMD, SWFWMD, and SFWMD. FLUCCS includes over 200 vegetation and land use classes arranged in four hierarchical levels with each level increasing in detail. Depending on the district, the data varied in vintage (2008 to 2011) and classification detail. FLUCCS data are delineated based on 1-foot orthophotos (an aerial photograph with a square pixel resolution of 1 foot that has been projected and rectified so that image displacements caused by camera tilt and terrain relief are removed) and are provided in vector format. The most current FLUCCS shapefiles for each district were reprojected to FDEP Albers HPGN/HARN1, converted to 30 m resolution raster format, and mosaicked into a single raster layer covering the state.

4.2.2.3 Florida Forest Services - Florida Risk Assessment Canopy Inventory Project (FRACIP)

The FFS FRACIP dataset, created in 2008, divided the landscape into vegetation classes that relate to canopy fire behavior. The dataset includes 3 layers - species groups, canopy closure and tree size - all of which are based on 30 m Landsat imagery. The species layer contains 18 forest type classes that include a breakdown of pine types into classes that were similar to those used by this project.

4.2.2.4 Florida Forest Service, USFS, and Forest Landowner Stand Data Forest cover types for State-owned and National Forestlands were used as a guide for photo-interpretation and as training data for a spectral analysis among pines, specifically Longleaf

1 High Precision Geographic Positioning System (GPS) Network (HPGN); High Accuracy Reference Network (HARN)


pine. The data also contained stand age and plantation/non-plantation descriptions that not only supported quality control (QC) of the dataset and accuracy assessment sites, but also allowed for integration of forest cover type, age, and origin maps. Private forest landowners provided similar data that was crosswalked into the 2014 update as well.

4.2.2.5 Cooperative Research in Forest Fertilization Program (CRIFF) Gridded Soil Survey Geographic Database (SSURGO) soil data were downloaded from the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) website. Next, the SSURGO soils were grouped into CRIFF groups, or Cooperative Research in Forest Fertilization Groups, which is a soil classification system developed by the University of Florida related to soil drainage and texture and depth of the subsurface soil layers. The dataset was then rasterized to 30 m resolution file. For our purposes, the CRIFF soil classes A and B were grouped into a single class, as were C and D, and E and F. Soils data were absent for the Everglades National Park. CRIFF soil groups were going to be used as a stratifier but there were not a sufficient number of plots to justify it. Therefore, the CRIFF dataset was used for some modeling to help differentiate between upland and wetland areas.

4.2.2.6 Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC) Habitat and Land Cover Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Habitat and Land Cover data (circa 2003) was used to aid photo-interpretation and help delineate agriculture areas. The statewide data layer contains 26 natural and semi-natural vegetation types plus other classes such as agriculture and urban. The layer is based on 30 m Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper+ (ETM+) satellite imagery.

4.2.2.7 Florida Natural Areas Inventory Conservation Lands In a few areas, identification of natural vegetation versus plantation was facilitated by the Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) data layer known as Florida Managed Lands (FLMA), last updated in 2012. This layer demarcates Florida conservation lands and provides a general description of the natural plant communities.

4.2.2.8 Slash Pine Habitat Range The delineation between typical Northern variety of Slash pine (Pinus elliottii) and South Florida Slash pine (Pinus elliottii var. densa) ranges was heads-up digitized using a map created by Little (1971)3,4.

4.3 Statewide Forestland Cover Data Layer

4.3.1 Image Preprocessing All Landsat data was preprocessed to obtain image derivatives. The derivatives used for spectral analysis in this project were Tasseled Cap, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR), and texture. The Tasseled Cap methodology is a useful tool for compressing spectral data into a few bands associated with physical scene characteristics. The transformation has potential applications in revealing key forest attributes including species, age and structure. The NDVI is a simple numerical indicator that can be used to analyze remote sensing measurements and assess whether the target being observed contains live green vegetation or not, and to a certain extent, quantify the vigor and health of the vegetation. The formula for NBR is very similar to NDVI although the index highlights the location and severity of burns that occurred in the landscape. The Texture layer gives a measure of the variability in pixel values around a pixel in the near-infrared band and, thus, a measure of the homogeneity or heterogeneity around the pixel. Other preprocessing of the Landsat data included reprojection from NAD83 Albers to FDEP Albers HPGN/HARN. The Landsat scenes were not “balanced” with one another, as spectral balancing would alter the imagery data, thus diluting the ability to discriminate the individual species.

4.3.2 Crosswalk The classification schemes of the three main data layers used for this analysis – CCAP, FLUCCS, and FRACIP – have similarities but are not identical so crosswalks to the project classification system were developed to integrate them. The crosswalks for FRACIP and FLUCCS are provided in Appendix A, Tables A1 and A2, respectively. The 2011 CCAP update and the 1996, 2001, 2006 CCAP layers were crosswalked as listed in Table A3. The agriculture classes in FWC Habitat and Land Cover were also crosswalked (Table A4). The FLUCCS and FRACIP forested classes are more detailed than CCAP. In particular, the CCAP palustrine scrub/shrub wetland class varies in species and canopy cover in different latitudes of the state, with the north being more mixed scrub/shrub wetland and young hydric pine flatwoods, and the south being freshwater marsh. Therefore, a dividing line between the panhandle of Florida and the peninsula was digitized (Figure 4). Shrub wetlands in the northwest were crosswalked to Forested Wetlands while in the south these were crosswalked to Non-Forested Wetlands. In addition, because of the difficulty in differentiating typical Northern Florida Slash pine variety and South Florida Slash pine in the South, a dividing line between North Florida and South Florida Slash pines was drawn based on research by Little (1971). This was digitized and approved by FFS before use (Figure 5).

4.3.3 Creation of Maximal Potential Forestland Mask After the CCAP, FLUCCS, and FRACIP layers were crosswalked to the Forest Cover classification system of this project, a forest mask was created from each layer, including the three historic and the most recent CCAP layers, by grouping cypress, mangrove, other forested wetlands, pines, mixed pine-hardwood, and hardwood stands into a single “forested” class and having all other classes as “non-forested”. The four CCAP masks were unioned into a single, maximal layer. Then, the CCAP, FLUCCS, and FRACIP masks were overlaid to form an overall maximal Forestland mask which, theoretically, included all possible forest stands that were either currently forested or were recently cut then replanted or left to naturally regenerate. The maximal Forestland mask contained three classes: “definitely forestland”, “possibly forestland”, and “not forestland”. If two or more of the overlaid forest masks had “forested” for a pixel, it was called “definitely forestland”. If just one forest mask had an area mapped as “forested”, then it was called “possibly forestland”. This layer was filtered three ways to reduce speckle, i.e. smooth the image. First, holes in the forestland less than four pixels were filled with the majority. Next, clumps of “definitely forestland” less than 5 pixels were changed to “non-forestland”. This removed speckle of around an area of 1 acre. Last, large clumps (<20 pixels) of “possibly forestland” were filtered to the majority of the surrounding pixels. Finally, Urban, Water, Tree Orchards, and “definitely Other” were masked out of the Forestland mask. The creation of those four masks is described in the following subsections.

4.3.4 Creation of Forest-Land Cover Masks The 2011 CCAP, FLUCCS, and FRACIP layers were used to create individual masks for each of the forestland cover classification groups: Urban, Agriculture/Grassland, Water, Wetlands, Forestland, Tree Orchards, and Other. Pixels in each of these classification groups, if present, were extracted from CCAP, FLUCCS, and FRACIP. The creation of each mask is described in the following sections.

4.3.4.1 Urban Mask The Urban mask was created by mosaicking the urban classes from CCAP and FLUCCS. Holes in the mask < 5 pixels were filled in with urban. Single-pixels were not removed across the map in order to preserve roadway networks. At the end of the mapping process, areas of urban openland (including forest and nonurban) < 10 acres were reclassified to urban. Some large forested areas within or adjacent to urban areas were retained if they were > 10 acres.

4.3.4.2 Agriculture/Grassland/Tree Orchards Mask The Agriculture/Grassland/Tree Orchards mask was created using CCAP and FLUCCS since FRACIP did not contain these classes. In cases where both CCAP and FLUCCS overlapped and they had the same Agriculture/Grassland type (AG-type) of row-crops or pasture and range, they were considered “definitely” that AG-type. FLUCCS was the only dataset to contain orchards data so all FLUCCS orchards were considered “definitely” tree orchard and were defaulted to the fruit production orchards Orchard-type. Where AG classes occurred in any of the data layers they could be considered “possible” AG-types. Where CCAP and FLUCCS had opposing AG-types, the FWC Habitat and Land Cover layer was used to break the tie. The remaining ties were broken by using FLUCCS as the master. FLUCCS class 2100 Cropland and Pasture was crosswalked to the Agriculture/Grassland group but not to an AG-type, so if CCAP overlapped the same area, it was used as the master. The remaining areas from the FLUCCS 2100 crosswalk were assigned to pasture and range after a review by photo-interpretation. Holes in the mask less than 5 pixels were filled in using a majority filter. Also, single isolated pixels were removed. The Forest Seed Production Orchards


were added at the end of the mapping process based on known locations of forest seed orchards. These orchards did not have a unique spectral signature and would have been extremely difficult to identify from current Landsat imagery.

4.3.4.3 Water Mask The Water mask was primarily created using CCAP and FLUCCS because FRACIP tended to over-estimate the water extents, so water from CCAP and FLUCCS were mosaicked to create the Water mask. Single-pixel holes in the mask were filled in with water. Also, single isolated pixels were removed, although they may have represented small water bodies.

4.3.4.4 Other Mask CCAP and FLUCCS data layers were used to create the “Other” mask. The “other” class in the FRACIP layer was not usable since it broadly consisted of urban, agriculture, other, non-forested wetlands, and forest with < 20% canopy. When overlapped, if both FLUCCS and CCAP had “other”, then the pixel was assigned “definitely other”. If just one layer had “other”, then it was assigned “possibly other”. No filtering was performed on the mask. Areas classified as other were reviewed to see if they should be assigned to different classes, which was the case for many areas. The areas that were left were, in many cases, mining sites.

4.3.4.5 Wetlands Mask A basic, overall Wetlands mask was created using CCAP, FLUCCS, and FRACIP. If two or more overlapping datasets had a wetland class type, then the pixel was called “definitely wetlands”. If only one layer had a wetland class type, the pixel was labeled “possibly wetlands”. Next, a more detailed Wetlands sub-type mask was built in descending layers using a series of else-if steps involving overlaying combinations of CCAP, FLUCCS, FRACIP, and the Forestland mask. This Wetlands sub-type mask contained classes for cypress, mangrove, other forested wetlands and non-forested wetlands. Other forested wetlands and non-forested wetlands are further divided into “possibly” and “definitely” using the first basic mask. First, all new 2011 CCAP updates to “palustrine emergent” were assigned “definitely non-forested wetlands”. Both cypress and mangrove from FLUCCS and CCAP were added as “definites”. If two or more main datasets were forested wetlands, then “definitely other forested wetlands” were added. The pixels were categorized as “definitely non-forested wetlands” if “definitely wetlands” and “non- forestland” overlapped. Next, if “possibly wetlands” overlapped with “non-forestland”, then “possibly non-forested wetlands” was assigned. Lastly, if “possibly wetlands” overlapped with “possibly non-forestland”, then pixels were added to the “less possibly other forested wetlands” category. The resulting Wetlands sub-type mask was filtered several times. First, the “possibly wetlands” class clumps less than 5 pixels were absorbed into the “definite” class clumps, pending if majority. Then, clumps less than 5 pixels of “definitely non-forested wetlands” and “definitely other forested wetlands” were filtered into other “definite” classes. Holes in the mask less than 3 pixels were then filtered into their majority.

4.3.4.6 Pine Mask The Pine sub-types mask consisted of four pine categories: Longleaf, Longleaf/South Florida Slash Pine, Sand Pine, and Loblolly/North Florida Slash Pine. Similarly to the Wetlands sub-type mask, the pine classes were mapped by overlaying FLUCCS, FRACIP, and CCAP and assigning different combinations to a pine class using if-else statements. The pine classes were


divided into “definites” if two or more datasets agreed on a class and “possibles” if one dataset had a pine class. CCAP does not classify to the species-level, but the evergreen was incorporated by first producing a single, maximal Pine mask by unioning evergreen from the four CCAP data layers. The maximal CCAP pine mask was used to help “validate” an overlapping pine species class from FLUCCS and FRACIP and make it a “definite”. For example, if CCAP “Pine” overlapped with FLUCCS “Sand Pine”, the pixel was coded as “definitely sand pine”. If CCAP “Pine” did not overlap with a pine class in FLUCCS or FRACIP, it was coded as “definitely pine” temporarily. If there was a 2- or 3-way tie consisting of different pine classes from overlapping FLUCCS, FRACIP, and CCAP layers, then it was coded as “possibly pine” temporarily. The ruleset looked at the species in each layer, its origin and location in the state, and this determined the pixel classification within the pine categories. By reviewing the information from the National and State Forests, it was apparent that the low density of the longleaf pine was leading it to be underrepresented in the map. To address this, remote sensing approaches were applied using the training data from the National and State Forests and a classification and regression tree (CART) approach for the Northern Florida Landsat Scenes that was focused just on areas that were identified as pine stands. Where areas were classified by the image analysis as longleaf pine, these areas were recoded to longleaf. These data were compared to stand data from the FFS State Forests and National Forests and visually inspected.

4.3.4.7 Hardwoods Mask All three datasets were used to create the hardwood mask. When overlapped, “definitely hardwood” was assigned if two or more datasets agreed on hardwood, while “possibly hardwood” was assigned if one dataset had hardwood. Since CCAP contains very few hardwoods mapped in Florida, they were all put into the “definitely hardwood” group. Ultimately, it was determined that hardwoods were underrepresented in the dataset, this may have resulted from large areas of hardwood being classified as “Other Wetland Forest”, since they were occurring on areas considered to be lowland or wetland sites. Where hardwoods had been mapped in the FLUCCS dataset, they were also brought in to the land cover layer as hardwoods in this classification. CRIFF group soils were also used to identify areas of lowland forest that should be coded to an upland forest class such as hardwoods or mixed.

4.3.4.8 Mixed Pine-Hardwood Mask All three datasets were used to create the mixed mask. When overlapped, “definitely mixed” was assigned if two or more datasets agreed on mixed, while “possibly mixed” was assigned if one dataset had mixed. It was determined that the “possibly mixed” was overall capturing the mixed class and so with some exceptions it was mapped as “definitely mixed”. Exceptions to this rule were areas considered plantation.

4.3.5 Final Forestland Cover Map Assembly All the data layers were assembled using a series of decision rules that would maximize the accuracy of the overlay, taking into account origin, location in state, and expected area of coverage, with reference to FIA acreages. The final data layer was reviewed multiple times for errors, although pine species were difficult to photo-interpret. Very small clusters of pixels (less than 5) for most of the land cover classes were filtered to reduce speckle in the layer, keeping in mind the MMU was 10 acres, or 45 pixels, for each land cover class. The final map was provided to the FFS, who provided comments and suggestions that were incorporated into the final deliveries.


4.3.6 2013 Update Using the 2011 forestland map as a base, the 2013 forestland cover mask was built by combining forest harvest information, via the change detection process, with the update using USFS National Forest, FFS, and private forest landowner GIS data. The ancillary data was crosswalked to match representative forestland classes and improved the overall accuracy of the map. The change detection process located probable harvest sites. Harvest sites changed the updated 2011 map based on a set of predictive land cover if/then criteria. These updates covered all appropriate changes to the 2011 forestland map to create the final forestland map which was used to create the updated 2013 forest cover, age, and plantation masks. Before measured changes were incorporated into the map. Updates to improve the 2011 map were made using the ancillary data provided by land management organizations. Once these improvements had been made producing an updated 2011 land cover map, observed changes from the change detection were incorporated to move the map from 2011 to 2013 vintage.

4.4 Statewide Timber Stand Age Classes Data Layer In order to capture the stand age, a number of approaches were used and are described below.

4.4.1 Change Detection 2011-2013 The change detection approach for updating the 2011 dataset to 2013 used the approved USGS and NOAA multi-index integrated change analysis system (MIICA) methodology. This methodology has been used to update the National Land Cover Dataset. The imagery used covers the latest available high quality imagery available for each Landsat path-row and generally represents the conditions on the ground at the end of 2013. Table 3. Landsat imagery used for 2011-2013 change detection and classification.

4.4.2 Change Detection 1996-2011 The change detection approach for updating the 2006 CCAP dataset to 2011 used the approved USGS and NOAA multi-index integrated change analysis system (MIICA) methodology.

4.4.2.1 Task 1: Data Acquisition and Preprocessing The first step in the processing chain is to quality control (QC) the datasets provided. These datasets were reviewed for:

a) Geographical Scope: Does this dataset cover the project area? b) Data integrity: Do all datasets have valid attribution based on metadata

provided and are the attributes understandable? c) Currency: When was the data created, how will this impact the analysis? d) Spatial accuracy: Does the data overlay the base dataset (i.e. Landsat

imagery) and if not, what will it take to co-register it? The imagery was processed per Landsat path/row scene, and used the preprocessing steps outlined in section 4.3.1.

4.4.2.2 Task 2: Change Mask Creation The images were then run through the MIICA system that identifies spectral changes between image pairs. These spectral changes represent changes in land cover but may not necessarily represent changes in land cover class. The thresholds were set to capture all change at the risk of capturing some non-change areas. The key to change detection is to be able to focus attention on areas of change rather than completely re-map the area. The risk of using a change mask is that some types of change are not captured within it. Photo Science’s approach was to ensure high change areas were included into the mask; areas that were unchanged that entered the mask were removed manually or using models at the classification step. To improve the mask, land cover classes were analyzed separately with individual spectral thresholds of change, rather than applying the same threshold to all land cover classes. The draft change mask was reviewed against the two dates of imagery in a stratified manner to ensure that no significant changes were missed. Once the review was completed, the change mask was edited by hand where necessary. The change areas were then classified into their respective CCAP classes using unchanged areas of the 2006 land cover dataset as training sites. Clusters of similar pixels were sampled across the production area, creating the training sites for the CART classification. The independent variables were based on the 2011 imagery, image derivatives and other thematic data (e.g. elevation, soils, etc.) where appropriate. Primarily spectral variables were used for the initial CART classification using the thematic variables in subsequent logic models to refine the classification. This approach, termed as “super sampling,” has been shown to provide good initial results. The classification was applied to the change mask resulting in a full classification of areas that had changed. The areas where classes had not changed were dropped out. Each change dataset was then run through a number of steps to remove any misclassification, first using modeling and then using manual editing approaches. Prior to the final delivery, the draft dataset was reviewed and then edited based on the review comments. The CCAP layers used for tracking changes between1996 – 2001 and 2001 – 2006 used similar but not identical approaches. The project used the change analysis described above for forestland between 2011-2006 to age stands < 5 years, change analysis for 2006 – 2001 to age


stands 5 – 10 years, change analysis from CCAP data 1996 – 2001 to age stands 10 – 15 years.

4.4.3 Change Detection 1972-1996 For areas of forest that existed before 1996, Photo Science conducted a change vector analysis for seasonally matched Landsat scenes. The change vector allowed the analysis of both the magnitude and direction of change between the two datasets. For the period between 1986 and 1996, Landsat TM imagery was used. For the period between 1972 and 1986, Landsat MSS imagery was used. The 60 m MSS imagery was interpolated to a 30 m resolution to make it compatible with the rest of the data. The interpolation combined logic rules with spectral analysis. Each layer created through this change detection had up to four categories

• 1 = forest between time 1 and time 2 that was unchanged • 3 = forests that had high confidence of change • 5 = forests that had lower confidence of change • 9 = forest that was obscured during the time interval

Category 3 consisted of mainly obvious, probably recent, clear-cuts. Category 5 consisted of mainly harvests, but of more varying types and appearances. Backgrounds could be dark or wet soils, or recently burned. If an area was cut shortly after the first observation date, considerable vegetation could have regrown by the time of the second observation, which would mean it would not be picked up easily. If a plantation was only thinned, this would also cause problems in identification. Category 9 consisted mostly of clouds, on either observation date, but occasionally included dense smoke. The information in the last two time intervals, 1986 to 1991 and 1991 to 1996, was derived from comparison of Landsat TM data. The information from the 1981 to 1986 time interval was derived from a comparison of Landsat MSS and TM data. The information from the 1977-1981 time interval was derived from a comparison of MSS data. Since no imagery existed for 1972, the only way to date the remaining stands that were planted before 1977 was to analyze the 1977 and 1981 MSS imagery to determine the age of the stand in 1977. The age of stands is easier to determine in their earlier years because of the rate of change of canopy cover and NDVI; as canopies close, the NDVI becomes stable. The same codes were used in this layer as were used in the other forest change detection product. Anomalies were noticed in the results between some Landsat path/rows creating what appeared to be “fringing” due to mis-registration. This was caused by a one-pixel shift between the two forest strata used. This mis-registration was minimized using the autosync module in ERDAS IMAGINE. Most of these problems were removed through filtering although they could have remained in some areas of the final age map.

4.5 Statewide Origin of the Forests Data Layer

4.5.1 Creation of 2011 Plantation Mask Tree plantations were identified using two main datasets, FLUCCS and state-owned lands provided by the FFS. The original FLUCCS layer identified tree plantations, specifically Coniferous Plantations, Hardwood Plantations, and Forest Regeneration Areas. Furthermore, the state-owned lands dataset contained stand origin as being planted or natural. Several of the stands did not have an origin type though, so the origin was photo-interpreted with the help of Google Earth. The state-lands “planted” stands and the FLUCCS plantations were mosaicked to form the Plantation mask. Single-pixel holes in the mask were filled in with “plantation” to smooth the raster layer and reduce speckle. The Plantation mask helped improve the Forestland mask. Anywhere “plantation” overlapped “possibly forestland”; the Forestland mask was changed to “definitely forestland”. The plantation mask was used to identify areas where stands were considered plantations. These stands were reviewed and verified by visual analysis against Bing and Google imagery. Plantations were also compared to the forest cover classes and where these were illogical; the pixels were changed to natural, which generally cleaned up speckle in the dataset.


4.5.2 2013 Plantation Mask The 2013 Plantation mask was created using the 2013 BAP map. The 2013 BAP map was created by using the original 2011 BAP map and updating it with 2011-2013 harvests and the most up to date ancillary data from FFS, USFS Forest Service and private landowners.

4.6 Statewide Timber Product Classes Data Layer The statewide timber classes were produced from analysis of the 2013 FIA data where plots were crosswalked to combined layer of Forestland Cover (B), Age (A) and Origin (P) layer. The analysis process is described in more detail in Section 4.10. Since the primary focus of this project was biomass of each timber product class, the amount of product in each BAP strata class was assessed. The BAP strata tables used for this map are in Appendix B.

4.7 Accuracy Assessment of Land Cover, Stand Age, and Stand Origin Datasets for 2011 Map

4.7.1 Methodology The purpose of the accuracy assessment is to provide a measure of confidence in the map, which is helpful for the map user and supports the decision-making process. For this study, Photo Science used a stratified approach that weighted each land cover class by its acreage across the state so that the overall accuracy of the map was assessed without bias. The analysis was conducted over the whole of the State of Florida. Therefore, the statistics are valid over the whole state and not at an FIA Unit or county level. The processes followed for this analysis are based on the methods outlined in Congalton and Green (2009)5. The full results of this analysis are contained within the 2013 published technical report and will not be repeated here. Since the 2013 map was improved in 2014, accuracies are expected to exceed those reported in the 2013 technical report. The accuracies reported in the 2013 technical report were:

• Forest land cover types at type level – 84.44% • Forest land cover type at subtype level – 78.99% • Stand age – 84.02% • Stand origin – 93.39%

4.8 Statewide Ownership of Forestland Data Layer

4.8.1 Data Source and Development FFS provided land ownership data as individual county polygon shapefiles obtained from the DOR current to 2013. The data provided included the NAL (name, address, legal) file compiled for each county joined to individual parcel polygons.

5 Congalton, R.G. & Green, K. (2009). Assessing the accuracy of remotely sensed data, principles and practices. 183 pp, CRC Press, Boca Raton, FL.


Changes in ownership resulting from name changes or parcel subdivision were identified by comparing the 2013 DOR data set to the ownership layer utilized in the original CSFIAS work completed last year. Parcels where change was detected were then classified in the same manner as previous work, described below. Newly classified parcels along with the unchanged ownerships were then compiled within the same data layer using the 2013 parcels. Ownership was classified according to a primary category and a set of sub-categories. The primary category indicated whether ownership was private or public, and in the latter case whether it was owned by federal, state, or local government. Ownership sub-categories indicated specific types of private landowners or the agency in the case of public ownership. All primary and sub-categories are detailed in Table 14. Ownership was identified statewide for all parcels that contained forest. Individual fields within the NAL file were screened for keywords indicating primary and sub-categories of ownership. Several dozen keywords were utilized, and included such words or phrases as ‘county’, ‘city’, ‘WMD’, ‘LLC’, or ‘Inc’ among many others. Other keywords were specific to known large landowners within the state, such as timber REITS and TIMOs. The NAL owner name field generally provided sufficient information to classify each parcel to the sub-category in the case of private ownership. The exception was with TIMOs, where the owner name typically was an entity such as a limited liability company (LLC) with some distinctive name not necessarily indicative of its TIMO status. In these cases, owner address information usually revealed that the owner was an individual investment fund managed by a TIMO. State and federal ownership were also generally difficult to classify into sub-categories based on owner names included in the NAL file. The owner was often identified simply as ‘U.S.A’, ‘State of Florida’, or ‘Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund’ without any indication of department or agency affiliation. In these cases, the FNAI 2013 Florida Conservation Lands data layer was consulted. This is a statewide polygon data layer containing parcels managed at least partially for conservation purposes, and in most cases specifies ownership sub-categories. Once primary and sub-categories of ownership were determined for all forest parcels, the polygon layer was intersected with the statewide forest cover raster layer in order to assign ownership to all forestland within the state.

4.8.2 Accuracy Assessment

4.8.2.1 Accuracy Requirements The 95% accuracy requirement for the forestland ownership layer is based on accuracy of three elements: (1) spatial completeness of the parcel data, (2) currency of the data, and (3) completeness of ownership attributes at the primary level of ownership (federal, state, local, and private categories). Because FFS provided the ownership parcel data to the project, element (2) is assumed satisfied.


4.8.2.2 Potential Sources of Error Errors in the finished ownership data layer may have originated from two sources: errors in the original DOR data set or errors generated in classifying property records to the ownership categories utilized here. Original data source errors. From county to county varying levels of errors were observed in the DOR data, for the most part limited to a very small fraction of any given county’s land area. The most common observed error was a blank NAL record associated with a parcel polygon. In a few cases, there were missing polygons within the boundaries of a county. The former type of error was not corrected, although when detected the parcel was drawn but the ownership was not determined. Errors originating from ownership classification procedures. The general procedure to determine ownership was (1) reduce the number of parcels being classified by (a) eliminating parcels from urban or other agreed-upon land use classifications that were outside the scope of the task, or alternately (b) once the forest cover layer became available mid-project, intersecting the forest cover layer with DOR parcel shapefiles to identify the parcels needing classification, (2) screen NAL content to identify key words indicating ownership categories, (3) assign primary and sub-categories to each record, and (4) visually inspect the resulting map of classified parcels. Errors could arise at each of these steps. Some parcels containing forest could have mistakenly been eliminated. Our screening process may not have correctly identified some ownership. Misspelled words in the NAL record may have handicapped the screens. Ownership codes may have sometimes suffered from keystroke errors. Last, ownership may simply have been misidentified, among other potential mistakes.

4.8.2.3 Error Detection in the Ownership Data Layer Since the DOR dataset was used as the basis for the ownership classification, our classified parcel dataset was compared to the source DOR data. A random draw of points from within the forest cover data layer was made with one or two points drawn for a 5 kilometer (km) x 5 km statewide grid. This layer of points was used to select its corresponding parcel polygon from the original DOR shapefile as well as classified ownership data parcel shapefile. The DOR shapefile parcels were then classified to the primary and sub-category level. This classification was done by individuals not involved in the development of the statewide ownership data parcel shapefile layer. Finally, the independent classification was compared to the final ownership data parcel shapefile classification to evaluate the level of agreement between the two. Where primary ownership classification of the check data layer disagreed with the statewide ownership data layer, or if a parcel polygon was missing from the statewide data layer, that point was considered an error. Once the comparison was completed, the accuracy percentage was calculated using Equation1. Equation 1: Accuracy % = [1 – (number of disagreeing points) / (total number of points)] x 100

4.8.2.4 Results A total of 2,963 ownership parcels were drawn and independently evaluated for the accuracy analysis. Ownership classification at the primary level was in agreement for 99.6% of all parcels, while the sub-category classification was in agreement for 94.0% of all drawn parcels.


4.9 Statewide Primary Wood-Using Plants Data Layer

4.9.1 Documenting Wood Using Plants in Florida FFS provided a statewide list of mills containing location and mill type information. The operational status of these mills was determined via industry contacts and in some cases outreach to the mills themselves. Some additional mills were identified through additional research.

4.9.2 Estimating Timber Removal, Sustainability, and Availability The removal analysis matched sustainable levels of timber supply with existing mill removal for raw materials to generate timber sustainability and availability maps for four product categories (Pine and Hardwood & Cypress in pulpwood and sawtimber size classes). These maps identified areas where utilization may approach or exceed sustainable levels as well as areas presenting opportunities for additional utilization.

4.9.2.1 Timber supply: net growth The maximum sustainable level of timber availability was taken to be the annual net growth for each of the four categories of material: pine and hardwood & cypress, pulpwood and sawtimber size classes. The starting point for timber supply was the statewide BAP layer that was coupled to net growth estimates for each of the strata. Net timber growth information for each pixel was aggregated at the county level.

4.9.2.2 Reserved and non-reserved timber With timber resources not always on the market due to ownership policies and/or restrictions, reserved and non-reserved timber estimates were established. Non-reserved timber is timber that is available for purchase on the market; reserved timber is timber that is locked out of market, for example the National Park Service or Babcock Ranch, (Table 15). A score of 100 indicates the percentage of timber that is non-reserved or in other words, available for purchase on the market.

4.9.2.3 Timber removal Mill removal for each of the four product categories was estimated by the study starting with the primary wood using mills database. The volume removed by mills and its geographic distribution by the state’s mills was determined by two methods: (1) a survey delivered to each mill in the mills database and (2) estimation utilizing a similar model to that employed in the previous year for non-responsive mills. (1) Mill removal survey. The mill survey was conducted as follows:

1. Email and paper copy survey and non-disclosure agreement to mill owners and operators in May 2014.


a. FFS reviewed list of active and inactive sawtimber, chip-n-saw, and pulpwood mills in Florida and nearby states.

b. Survey questions pertained to green tonnage processed by county in 2013. 2. Data collected and aggregated July-August 2014.

Response rate to the survey was relatively low, 10 of 62 active mills in the database replied to the survey. Survey respondents were disproportionately larger facilities and 54% of all product volume removal was determined from survey responses. (2) Mill removal model. Raw material removal from responsive facilities was assigned to the counties as indicated in the mill’s survey response. Removal from facilities that did not respond to the survey was determined through a removal model that used end product types, mill capacity, and geographic location to estimate the mill’s raw material removal and the geographic distribution of that removal. The model employed here is similar in design to that used the previous year, but was fine-tuned to reflect industry feedback and incorporate the results of the mill removal survey. Modifications to the removal model primarily consisted of changes to the geographic removal distribution for certain types of mills. Raw material removal was distributed across a woodshed determined for each individual mill. Removal levels contained in each woodshed were then partitioned into the same polygon cells as the timber supply volumes described above.

The development of the geographic distribution of mill removal is summarized by the following steps:

1. Mill locations described in 4.9.1 represented the origin of each individual supply shed. 2. One or two end product types were identified for each mill, the mill’s production capacity

for each product type was estimated, and the attendant raw material removal for each product estimated.

3. Mills were classified based on their product type, capacity and geographic location. 4. Mill woodshed boundaries were delineated according to their classification. 5. Mill raw material removal was distributed into 2, 3 or 4 zones within each woodshed.

Mill locations. FFS mills data were used as the starting point for this analysis, and the data set was reviewed to identify any new entrants or mill closures. Mill product types and raw material removal. The physical capacity of a mill to generate finished products such as dimensional lumber, wood pulp, or mulch establishes the basis for each mill’s raw material removal. Mill capacity was estimated using published sources (Lockwood-Post Pulp and Paper Mill Directory, USFS publications, etc.) when possible, and these sources were complemented by information gleaned from company websites and local contacts within the industry. Conversion factors were used to translate finished product capacity levels to raw material removal. Sources for conversion factors were similar to those utilized for mill capacity. Satellite chip mills in and around the state satisfy a portion of the raw material needs of pulp mills, and each has its own woodshed. Chip-n-saw mills also generate clean chips for pulp mills,


and likewise have their own woodsheds. As a result, the raw material removal of pulp mills was adjusted downward from that indicated by its finished product capacity to account for the contribution of satellite chip mills and chip-n-saw mills. Recall that raw material removal estimated as a function of mill capacity differs from actual raw material utilization, since mills do not typically operate at full capacity year-round. Operating levels vary by industry and reflect prevailing economic and market conditions, and as a result actual raw material utilization (e.g., as reported by bi-annual USFS Timber Product Output reports) may approach capacity-based raw material utilization or may differ significantly at times. Mill classification. All mills were assigned to one of five categories based on individual capacity and product type: small, medium, large/specialty mills, large interior pulpwood-using mills, and large coastal pulpwood-using mills. Categorizing mills was done in order to define the dimensions of each mill’s woodshed. Larger mills necessarily draw on a larger geographic area than small mills, and this is reflected in the size of their woodshed. Some mills, for example pole mills, utilize a timber resource that is relatively scarce due to its removal specifications, and as a result also draw upon a larger geographic area. Furthermore, freight is a smaller component of delivered cost for these specialty mills, and as a result, they have a greater ability to absorb relatively higher freight costs. This larger draw is also reflected in a larger woodshed for specialty mills. Woodshed boundary delineation. All mills preferentially seek nearby material due to its lower freight cost, and all mills confront an outer boundary where elevated freight results in a prohibitively high delivery cost of raw materials. The prevailing local practice is to price freight on a per-mile rate, with a minimum freight distance of 40 miles. That is, all material sourced within 40 miles has the same freight cost assigned to it, while wood sourced from greater distances incurs an additional incremental freight cost for each mile beyond 40. The 40 mile zone thus defines a ‘core’ woodshed for each mill, regardless of mill type or size. Economically feasible freight distances may be as much as 100 miles for some mills, and some mills may need to source wood from such great distances in response to wet conditions that temporarily prohibit logging activity in nearby timber tracts. In this analysis, a woodshed outer limit of 90 miles was used for large/specialty mills, while 75 miles was used as the outer boundary for medium and small mills. The coastal location of large pulpwood consumers extended the reach of their woodsheds to 115 miles. Mill raw material removal distribution. The actual sourcing of mill raw material is determined by the distribution of timber resources, competition for those resources, and other factors. While different mills range more or less widely to satisfy their raw material removal, industry reporting indicates that in the Southeast U.S., the average haul distance from timber tract to mill is typically 55 miles (see, e.g., Timber Mart South reporting), and this distance was utilized as a guide to distribute each mill’s removal across its woodshed. This analysis partitioned each mill’s removal into woodshed zones reflecting varying freight distances from the mill (measured in road miles from the mill location) using the distribution in Tables 16-20. The right hand column indicates the share of the overall mill removal that is estimated to originate from each woodshed zone described in the left hand column. The distributed removal was plotted along with the outer woodshed boundaries in the Mill Woodshed and Removal Level map series. Removal was summed for overlapping woodsheds to indicate


the total estimated removal for any given location. Mill removal was then aggregated at the county level to generate the Timber Removal map series for Pine and Hardwood & Cypress species groups each for sawtimber and pulpwood product types. Table 16. Percentage of raw material furnished in two concentric zones extending from small mill types.

4.9.2.4 Sustainability Index and Availability Maps The Timber Sustainability Index map evaluated the ratio of net growth to estimated timber removal at the county level for each of the four product categories: pine and hardwood & cypress, for sawtimber and pulpwood. Sustainability indices with values greater than 1.0 indicated that net growth exceeded estimated removal for that species group and product type in that county. Conversely, sustainability indices less than 1.0 indicated greater removal than net growth of timber and therefore an unsustainable situation. When the sustainability index is equal to 1.0, it means that timber net growth is equal to the removal in that county. The Timber Availability map series depicts availability or deficit of timber at the county level. Each map in that series started with timber net growth at the county level and subtracted the estimated timber removal for that county for each species group (pine or hardwood & cypress) and product type (pulpwood or sawtimber). This difference defined in green tonnage values which counties had net surpluses of net timber growth over-estimated timber removal, and which counties were in timber deficit for any species group product type combination. In Southern Florida, net timber growth and/or timber removal were found to be low in some cases. This made it necessary to apply cut-offs to the calculation of sustainability indices and timber availability to avoid undue distortions in map depictions of timber supply and removal. Generally, if the timber removal was less than 100 tons per year, the timber sustainability index and timber availability were not estimated. Similarly, where this low timber removal was accompanied by negative timber growth, these situations were indicated on the maps with different symbols. Finally, sustainability ratios larger than 5.0 were grouped symbols in the 2013 maps.

4.10 Timber Resources Distribution in Green Tons

4.10.1 Calculation of Standing Timber Biomass The statewide timber product class data layers were a series of maps generated through the use of the BAP (Forest Cover x Age x Origin) stratification layer and a stratified yield lookup table. The BAP stratification layer was a combination of the statewide forestland cover data layer (described in section 4.3), the statewide timber stand age classes data layer (described in section 4.4) and the statewide origin of the forest data layer (describe in section 4.5). The stratified yield lookup table was generated from data collected by the USFS FIA Program and its synthesis is detailed in this section. Each polygon of the BAP stratification was given a series of values derived from the stratified yield lookup table. Maps were produced that displayed the amount, in tons per acre, which each polygon represented for each product class across the state. This method was determined to be more desirable than a single value such as quadratic mean diameter (QMD) or arithmetic mean

COASTAL LARGE PULPWOOD-USING MILLRadius (miles) % raw material furnish0-40 30%41-65 25%66-90 25%91-115 20%



diameter (Mean), and a single resulting map due to the large geographic distribution of sample points and strata. A single value often underestimated the resident size classes of the strata even when using a measure of low sensitivity like QMD. Product classes were established according to the diameter of the inventoried trees and the general species group that the inventoried trees fell into. The general species groups were identified as Pine species and Hardwood & Cypress species using the Forest Inventory and Analysis species list in Table 21 (O’Connell et al. 2012) 6. Within each general species group, three product classes were established which included sub-merchantable, pulpwood and sawtimber. Product classes by diameter at breast height (DBH) are in Table 22.

4.10.2 Equations, Processes and Programs used for Stratified Inventory

The following section details the process used to create the stratified inventory lookup table which contributes to the creation of deliverables including the Statewide Timber Product Classes Data Layer and the Timber Resources Distribution in Green Tons. The process was completed primarily by aggregating data retrieved from the Forest Inventory Analysis online reporting tools (FIDO and EVALidator).

4.10.2.1 USFS FIA Data and Online Tools This project was conducted using FIA data collected in the state of Florida. Since FIA has transitioned from a periodic inventory to an annual inventory, these plots were used to calculate standing volumes as well as the rate at which the standing timber was growing. Florida has approximately 7,200 continuous inventory plots that are re-measured at the approximate rate of 1/5th per year. Each inventory plot is composed of a cluster of fixed radius sub-plots, which collectively represent approximately 5,700 acres of forest as well as non-forest conditions. The plots are laid out in a systematic polygon grid across the state (O’Connell 2012). Data collected by FIA includes tree level information such as DBH and height as well as plot level information such as ecoregion used later in our calculations. The Forest Inventory and Analysis Program made a number of tools available online to generate reports from collected FIA data. During this project, two of these tools were used to calculate standing volume and growth rates. The Forest Inventory Database Online (FIDO) and EVALidator tools were used to generate tables on volume, annual growth rates and acreage which were used to calculate volume growth per year by BAP strata levels.

4.10.3 Stratified Inventory Process

4.10.3.1 Import and Format FIA data To ensure that sufficient samples were available for analysis, it was determined that all FIA plots from 5 inventory sub-cycles would be utilized. To match the 2013 vintage of the imagery, the most recent inventory sub-cycle utilized was 2013. The initial sample size was 6,779 fixed radius sub-plot clusters were available for use in 2013. FIA points were linked by a series of unique identifiers which allowed trees, plots and inventory cycles to be linked via SQL in Access database software. The following unique survey identifiers or “SRV_CN” were used to isolate plots from the previous 5 inventory sub-cycles:

• 128092295010854 • 128092296010854 • 128092297010854


• 128092298010854 • 128092299010854

Standing Timber was calculated to determine the amount of biomass currently available. Standing timber was calculated using FIA reports generated by the FIA online tools, including FIDO Reports. Total standing green tons in Northern Florida (FIA Units 1 and 2) and Southern Florida (FIA Units 3 and 4) were calculated separately. This was determined to be necessary due to the different growing conditions and soil profiles present in Northern vs. Southern Florida. Standing volume and green tons was calculated using inventory information based on all FIA plots and the FIA Program analysis available for download online. Reports were generated from the FIA online tools that gave total standing volume in cubic feet for FIA forest types across the state of Florida. These reports were filtered to account for broad species groups, pine vs. hardwood, age class in 20-year increments, stand origin and FIA region. Additional reports were created that gave the acreage that was present in each of the forest types and utilizing the same filtering.

4.10.3.2 Aggregate Growth Datasets Total standing volume in cubic feet and total acreage for each FIA forest type were cross-walked and aggregated to conform to the CFIAS forest typing convention. This newly aggregated data was organized by CFIAS BAP class which included forest type, age class, origin and region. These two sets of data were used to calculated a per acre value in cubic feet for each BAP class in each region. This value of cubic feet per acre was then converted to green tons per acre using the conversion weights established in the original statement of work. A yield lookup table was created containing per acre values for sawtimber tons per acre, sawtimber cubic feet per acre, pulpwood tons per acre and pulpwood cubic feet per acre for each strata present in the BAP strata map. This tabular data was used as the basis for the Standing Timber Distribution Maps.

4.10.3.1 Calculating Net Growth Rate Timber net growth rate is calculated to determine the amount of biomass available after mills’ removal and the relative level of sustainability of an area. Growth was calculated using FIA reports generated by the FIA online tools, including FIDO Reports. Total tree growth in Northern Florida (FIA Units 1 and 2) and Southern Florida (FIA Units 3 and 4) were calculated separately. This was determined to be necessary due to the different growing conditions and soil profiles present in Northern vs. Southern Florida. Growth was calculated using measured growth information based on all FIA plots and the FIA Program analysis of growth available for download online. The FIA growth data was used because it was determined that modeled growth rates across such large tracts of land would not accurately represent the available biomass. Reports were generated from the FIA online tools that gave total growth rates in cubic feet for FIA forest types across the state of Florida. These reports were filtered to account for broad species groups, pine vs. hardwood, as well as age class in 20-year increments. Additional reports were created that gave the acreage that was present in each of the forest types by age class in 20-year increments. By tabulating each set of information according to general species


and age class, growth rate was calculated per acre for each general species group and each forest type in 0 – 20, 20 – 40 and 40+ age groups. This growth rate was further differentiated into separate rates for naturally regenerated stands and artificially regenerated stands. This was accomplished in a method similar to the previous report aggregation but used total growth by forest type, age class and stand origin. From these tables, an average growth rate was calculated for all stands, for naturally regenerated stands and for artificially regenerated stands. From these results, a ratio was calculated that showed the average rate of growth for planted stands vs. all stands and natural stands vs. all stands. This ratio was used to divide the growth rates by forest type, general species group, age class, and forest origin. Finally, these growth rates were weighted by the acreage they represented in the statewide sample and aggregated into BAP groups according to the forest type definition. These growth rates were multiplied by the acreage of each stratum for each county. This provided the biomass growth per county that was used in the sustainability assessment. Note that for this analysis, it was important to use the most accurate map available. Improvements to the map were made after the map was overlain with the FIA plots, as a result of some additional analysis. This updated map was used for the final assessment.


5 Improvements made in 2014 study There were significant adjustments to the 2013 approach designed to improve the reliability of the results. In order to provide an assessment of change of the forest resources, the 2011 forest cover, growth and standing timber values were recalculated using the adapted approaches outlined in this document. Then changes were assessed against this baseline, so that changes documented are as a result of actual changes seen on the ground as opposed to changes in methodology between the 2013 and 2014 studies. The improvements summarized below resulted from discussions with the FFS and stakeholder groups prior to the initiation of the 2014 project.

5.1 Land Cover, Age and Origin Layers Land cover improvements: Improvement of cover type, age and origin information came mainly from a survey of land owners who have forested land and were willing to participate in the study. These land owners who participated under an NDA, and public agencies that were willing to provide their stand data provided data that allowed the adjustment of stand age, pine and forest type and origin. Adjustments were only made where there was a good reason to change the original call, since the classification schemes of this project and those used to classify the land cover were not the same. Other changes in the land cover were made from reviewing the high resolution imagery (Google and Bing), especially for areas with low canopy cover to determine if it was different from the 2011 land cover dataset. This revised land cover, age and origin map for 2011 was used as the basis for any changes as opposed to the 2011 land cover map produced by the 2013 project. Assessment on vector as opposed to raster framework: The complexity of the analysis increased between the 2013 and 2014 study, particularly the inclusion of reserved and non-reserved timber and the need to calculate an increase in the age of stands by 2 years; in between the 5 year age interval. As a result, the analysis was moved from a raster analysis to a vector analysis. This increased the analysis time, but made the more complex analysis feasible. Remaining items: Although some of the issues were resolved by the changes made in the 2014 update, some items remain. One main issue is the difficulty in determining stand age in hardwoods and cypress. Since determining stand age directly in remote sensing is not possible, the only way to remotely sense the age of stands is through change detection. Plus, it is possible that age classes in non-plantation pine stand are more complex. For non-plantation situations, some species are removed and other species are left; rather than the complete clear-cutting seen on plantations. Thus a more complex harvesting regime would require a more detailed biomass change assessment between imagery dates. This approach was not possible given the timeline and budget of this project. Similarly, the hardwoods are not always clearcut and simple change detection methods may not pick up selective harvests, mortality and small fire events. Therefore, increased end-user review of the map will always be of value to improving the map.

5.2 Mill Location and Removals Layers Improvements of removals data: There was a significant discussion of the removals/removal data after the 2013 data; this led to the conducting of a survey of mills in Florida on their consumption of timber products. The survey requested information from each mill with respect to where their timber came from by county. This information was integrated into the survey for


those mills. The specific data is protected under an NDA. For mills that did not provide these data the data was modelled. When assessing the survey data it has been observed that this approach may provide a much more variable annual estimate of removals by county than the modelled data, however this may also represent a more realistic representation of what is going on in the county. Overall, more mills removals were captured in this year’s assessment.

5.3 Standing Timber, Growth, Sustainability and Availability Layers Improvements of Standing Timber and Growth Estimates: The approach to estimating the standing timber and growth estimates was simplified from the 2013 study so that the overall results were more similar to the FIA estimates. This approach also makes subsequent updates more easily assessed. The data now does not require direct interaction with FIA, nor FVS modeling. It relies directly on FIA reporting using tools that are maintained by USFS. The FIA reports are based on measured plot changes and not simulated measurements, and plots are allocated into the CFIAS class based in their attributes rather than their location thus removing the need to overlay FIA plot locations onto the map. Using the 20 year averages will help smooth out for any variation between age classes. Separation of Pine and Cypress: In the 2013 study, Pine and Cypress were grouped together in one class, softwoods. These two species groups have since been separated and Pine is now its own class with Cypress being added to Hardwood classes. Growth and removals data are consistent within the maps for the 2013 study. Incorporation of Reserved and Non-reserved Data: In the 2013 study, it was assumed that all timber was on the market for harvest. This is not the case and so a matrix was created that indicated the percentage of non-reserved timber based on ownership and forest type. This reduction in timber for harvest is represented in both tables and maps from the report. Sustainability Index and Timber Availability: Sustainability and Availability have been calculated based on total and non-reserved net timber growth. For the 2015 study, no change to the process of updating the data is anticipated. These improvements to the process have helped provide a better picture of the overall sustainability of the timber industry within the State of Florida than the 2013 study.
