INTRODUCTION

Tabul~ted sesults were derived from data obtdned during a 1994 forest inyenmy of n m h Mississippi counties (fig. 0. Field work wasebnduclcd from Dccmbw 1992 tt May 1993. Core tablcs 1 through 25 arecompubleamong Forcst Invento- ry and Analysis WA) units in thc Eastern United States. Sup. plemental tables 26 thmugh 44 pmvide infurrnabon beyond hat provided by the core tables. Cornpansons arc made k- wean results of the 1594 invcntmy and previous ~nvcntaries conducted in 1987 and 1977.

METHODS

The Southern Forea Experiment Station, FPrea Inventory \ and Andyds unit (SO-PIA) uses I two-phase smrnpleoftemp

my aerial-photo p i n t s and a systematic grid of pcnnanent ground plots The area of forested land wsdetemined by pho- loinmpretation oftemporary pints and field duck$ of ptrma- nmt plots. Field measurements were conducted on a subset d pwnancnt plDts spaccd 3 miles apsrt Trccr wcrt r n c r s d on plots that wtrcforesred at rhe time, ofthecurren~inventoryor at the time of the previous inventory.

Eachplor consisted of 10sarel l i tepoiotss~ovaabaut 1 a m At eachpoint, treesS.Oiltchss i n d i a m e r c r a t h s r height (d.b.h,)~Lsgtrw~sdltfttdformsuremtntan avariablb radius plot defined by a 37.5-factor prism. Thus, each tree se lected with the pnsrn represented 3.75 square fen of basal area w a r n . Trees from 1 0 m4.9 lnchcs in d.b.h. were tallied on a r - lr-75-acrc f i x d plol ac each of the finr three p in ts and at any remaioiogpa~ntswhcrc fcwer than tuo trees 5 Oinchesin d.b h. or larger were tallied. If no trees gnaw than 1.0 inch were ml- lied st a paint, then s d i n g s w m tallied. Sevcral plot-level measurmnents rclaung to timber and other forest resources were also cdleettd.

Tree dbta w t r e u s d to tsrimate volume, basal am., numk oltfees, and other plot-level variables Ownership informaDon was obtained for each rnaasuremcnt plot using tax records and other sourccs, Plot-lcvel estsrnates were expnnded using county-level factmderivdaspart ofthe fomtareadetemina- tian.

Over successive inventories, techniques have evolved m that some changes have been instituted In recent inventories these changes havc bccn mostly rrunor in scale and have b ~ t n instituted because of the availability of better methods or to

achieve greatercomparibility among FIA units. Thcse~bungm may, in somecases, affect the ability to d i s m minor shiis in resource trends.

The major changssffr%tlng?he 19941nventwyi$the df- fiad tree classificauoa s y s m that hsr, baen jn d k t sin= the 1988 inventory of Arkansas;. Trcc grndc 5 1s uscd m dcsignatc t m s capable of producing at leastme 1 2 - f d l o g or two 8-foot logs in the sawlog portion, but not capuble d producing a grad- able 12-footloginthebutc 16-foot scctlon. T k z t r c ~ f o n n c r - ly classified as rough or rotten culls-arc now included in growing stock. In previous inventones where t ius revlslon has been in effect, these t r e e s have increased softwood prowing- sttrckvolume 1 te 2 percent and hardwood.6to Spercent, Com- parisons of tha m n t Inventory with pnviws estimates of gmw~ng 6mck arc basad on data that havc bccn reproc~sscd m uccount for the change in defin~tion IS far as p s i b l e

Another change affecting the classification of growing- stock trees is the requirement that at least one-third of the saw- log volume (or prospective volume, in the case of smaller-than-sawtimhr sim trea9) has to km utllrzable. b viwsly, one-half thc v o l u m had to be utilizable In the prc- vious tnventones where i his revision in utilizable volume has been in effect, few m s have been ~Eected.

Twofinal changes affecting trend analysis iavolvs a n a cstl- mate changes, first, theuse of the U.S, Census Bureau's land area estimatss for tho dttcrminstiw of the land araa cxpadcrs affects arca change analyais In the 1987 survey, the U.S. Cen- sus Burenu's 1980 land area estimmtes were used; in the 1994 survey, the 1940 land area estimates were used The rerulr of this change is h a t wtal land mreu in this unit decressed 76,400 ucresfrom the 1987to1994 fomstsurveys. Mwhofthischanga is due to the Census Bureau's new definieion of the warn clnssi- Sication, which includes areas previously clas~fied ss land. Anotherchange affecting a m Vend analysis conctms tht clas- sification of national forest lands, Ia the 1989 sutvcy, forest area forall ownerships was calculated bassd on an estimate of fmea area for the county. That IS, tach national forest plat's expansion factor was based on the farast arca for the county in which the plot occurred. Far thc 1994 nurvey of Mississippi, national f m s t lands were enumerated, ~ n d each plot's expan- sion factor was based on khe forest area d nabonal forest lands in that county.

Because of the revi5Cd definitions and to better assess trends, analysis of trends jn inventory volum, gmwb, remov- als, and mortality will focus on live trees, sather han growing- ~twk, &S had been done in the past.

STATISTICAL RELIABILITY

The sampliig methodl were designed to d c v e suitablt sampling moss for estimates of area and volume at the Sratc level Samplii error increases as the arer or volume consid- ered derrcascs. The sampllng crmrs presented in table 1 art equal to one standard devianon for the sample csumates and may be used u, compute confidence intervals for population dam

Assn example, the 95-pemnt confidence interval for grow- ing-stock volume in mnh Mississippi counties ~s computed as follow'

where 1.96 is the number ofstandard deviatiwa. Therefore, the 95-parcent confidence intcrval~s 4,390,4 to 5.033,2 million cu- bic feet. This interval captures the rmepwing-stack invent* ry volume for the region unless a 1-in-20 chance of a random event has oeeur~ed

The results are seported for individual cwnties, thcr8by al- lowing awnputation of ratistical coflidcnm for any combins- tion of counties. Values for individual counhes art mbject ta high sampling m r s , users are cauboned a b u t using data for

HIGHLIGHTS

Area

The north Mississippi survey unit is about 59 pcrcent for- esttd, with 4,858,000 acres of forest land. All of that forest land is classified as tirnbcrland; there is no w d l a n d or reserved umhrland. The area of timberland increasad 10 pcrcent since. 1987, with thc greatest increases in the pnvate corpwate and private ~ndiv~duak ownership classcs. Pnvate owners account for 91 percent of the timberland are=. T~mbwland owned by forest industries d-sed 68.300 acres, down lOpcrcent from 1987 The decrease in thenahanal forest m a is due to the cf- fccts of changes in the method of enumeratiq national fore~t area for the 1994 survey

The oak-hickory forest type covers 45 parcant of thc tim- berland of north Mississippi, and nmaIns the dominant forest type, after a 14 percent increase to 2,177,000 acres. The oak- gum-cypress m a also incmascd, up 21 percent fmm 1987 tc 716,100 acrcs. Pine type forests increased 21 percent to 1,137,300acres.

For roftwaods, the average basal area of sapling-seedling trcer increased 12 percent to 3.8 square feet per acre, while the basal area of poletimberand sawtimbcr trccn decreased 16 pcrccnt and 29 percent respectively, Dtcrtascs in average basal area were evident for all s ~ u s of hardwoods. ranging finm 5 p t m m in the sawtimk category to 15 percent In the pbletimber category. The average basal area of all-live trees is 69.7 square feet ptr acm. down 13 percent fmm 1987 esumates. Seventy-one percent d the bass1 a r t a is in hard- woods, and 29 percent is in s o h d s .

Zhe awmgc net annual growth of live-trrc volume fram 1987 to I994 was down sUghHy (1.3ptrccnn) to59.4cubic fcet per acre per year over the previous perrod (1977 m 1987). For the entire unit, growth of all bve softwabds increased 15 per- cent, while growth of all live hardwoods increased 3 purcnc.

Average rtnnual hve-We mortality increased for all s p i e s . Softwood mortality increased 11 percent, and h n r d r o ~ d mortalicy incrcascd 2.0 percent.

Average annual l i v ~ t r e t removala for the period increased significantly for bothsoftw& and hardwoods, up 77 percent and 72 percent respectively Softwoods camprised 56 petcent of the average annual llvetree removals, while hardwoods comprised the mnaning 44 percent. These percentagca are the name ss for the previous period

Avcrage annual sawtimber removals rnm than doubled since !he 1977 to 1987 pcriod. Softwood ~ r n o v a l s increased 99 perctnt, and hardwood removals increased 130 w e n t

The average n u annual all Livu growth-to-removals trtnds indicateadtc~asing inventory, Softwo&sare decrcasingmt an annual average of 51.4 million cubic feet. Statistically, the hardwood inventory remained unchanged, Current growth-to- removals trends could. however. indicate a decreasing invento- ry in the future

Concludons

Changes in the f m t reaourccs of north Missislippi arcevi- dent. Timbmlmd areaincreased 10 pemnt, and the area inpjne plantations showed a large increaw. Sapling-wedling stands now constitute the greatest ponion of the timberland bas?.

Removals of alllive tms inereaged significantly during this perid. Thisrcveals a changc over the previous period froman increasing inventov to a decreasing invcntoly.
