Forests cover 12.0 million acres or 78 percent of the State. This is a decrease of 112,500 acres since the previous forest inventory in 1989. Statistically, there was no significant change in forest-land area since the two estimates are within the range of the sampling errors. Ninety-eight percent of the forest land is considered timberland and available for timber production.

The initial inventory of West Virginia's forest resources was conducted in 1948-49. Succeeding inventories were carried out in 1961, 1974, and 1989. This report presents forest-resource data from the fifth inventory, which was conducted in 2000. This inventory was a cooperative effort among the Northeastern Research Station, West Virginia Division of Forestry, and the landowners of West Virginia. The Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) unit of the Northeastern Research Station conducted the inventory on all lands, developed the resource tables, and prepared this report. During the 2000 inventory of West Virginia, a new system of selecting ground plots was implemented, that has been adopted by all of the FIA units in the United States as the basis for the upcoming Annual Inventory Program. Specifically, a hexagonal grid with each cell representing nearly 5,750 acres was placed over the United States. Within West Virginia, each hexagon was populated with one sample ground plot. If the hexagon contained one or more ground plots from the 1989 inventory, the plot located closest to the hexagon center was selected; otherwise, a new ground plot was established at random near the hexagon center. There were 1,176 ground plots from the previous inventory that were remeasured, and 1,365 ground plots that were established for the first time. The data collected were summarized using the FINSYS computer program developed at the Northeastern Research Station. Reports analyzing the West Virginia's forest resource in greater detail are being prepared. The forest area, numbers of trees, biomass, timber volume, growth, and change statistics in this report summarize the information collected (see Index to Tables). Other information or additional summaries may be developed.

However, because the field crews did not measure every tree or every acre in the state, the data are estimates. The reliability of the estimates can be judged by two important statistical measures: accuracy and precision. Accuracy refers to the success of estimating the true value; precision refers to the clustering of sample values about their own averages or to the variation among repeated samples. We are interested primarily in the accuracy of the inventory but in most cases we can only measure its precision. Although accuracy cannot be measured exactly, it can be checked. Preliminary tables are sent to other agencies and to outside experts familiar with the forest conditions in West Virginia. If questions arise, the data are reviewed and reanalyzed to resolve differences. Great care is taken to minimize sources of procedural error through careful training of both field and office personnel, frequent inspection of field and office work, and application of the most reliable inventory methods. Because of the care exercised in the inventory process, estimates of precision afford a reasonable measure of the inventory'’s adequacy. The precision of each estimate is described by its sampling error. Sampling errors are given with several tables in this report. The others are available upon request. Here is an example of how the sampling error is used to indicate reliability. The estimate of timberland for West Virginia is 11,797,000 acres. The associated sampling error is 0.6 percent, or 70,782 acres. This means that if there are no errors in the procedure, we are 68 percent confident that the true number of acres is between 11,867,782 and 11,726,218 acres, or 11,797,000 + 70,782 (one standard error). Similarly, we are 95 percent confident that the true number of acres is within + 141,564 acres (two standard errors). County estimates are less precise. In West Virginia, for example, while the sampling error for timberland at the state level is 0.6 percent, the sampling error for Greenbrier County is 2.5 percent. In general, as the size of the sample decreases, the sampling error, expressed as a percentage of the estimate, increases. A high amount of variance within a county increases the sampling error. For many of the tables in this report, both the last column and last row are labeled “SE.” These figures are the sampling errors of the column and row totals. The last sampling error given (SE) is for the table total. To calculate the approximate sampling error (SE;) for a table cell (ij), use the following formula (this formula is reliable only for estimating sampling errors of individual cells in AREA tables): SE, = (1/P,) ((P, (1- P,))/n)'1? ij where: n = total number of sample plots of a population ey SAGA A, = cell estimate A = total land area of a population row(i) and column(j) = i} Note that any estimate with a sampling error of 50 percent or more is not significantly different from zero, and estimates with errors of 25 to 50 percent are suspect. Therefore, any estimates with errors exceeding 25 percent should be used with caution. Comparison Between Inventories To evaluate the condition of the forest resource, it is useful to compare the current estimates with those from the previous inventory. However, as a result of ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the inventory, we have made several changes in procedures and definitions since 1989. Because these changes make inappropriate the direct comparison of some of the current estimates with those published by DiGiovanni (1989), readers should use caution when comparing the data in this report with those in the 1989 report. In this report, several tables containing 1989 data are provided to allow comparisons. The changes in methods and definitions follow. To improve data consistency at the national level, a standard plot design is being used by all FIA units in the country. The new plot design, a cluster of four 24-foot- radius points covering a 1/6-acre area, was established at this occasion at all selected plot locations, both new and previously measured. Field crews recorded different conditions on the plots if certain attributes (land use, forest type, stand origin, stand size, tree density, and/or owner) differed from those at plot center. They mapped these conditions by recording information that described the boundaries of the conditions. This mapping procedure is designed to reduce bias in the estimates On all selected remeasured plot locations, a subsample of the trees that were recorded in the past was reconciled, and growth and removal estimates were calculated using these data. Condition mapping was ignored for calculations of estimates of change because this procedure was not used at the previous occasion. FIA uses Bureau of Census estimates of total land area in a state or county as the basis for estimating land area by various classes. For the 1989 report, 1980 Bureau of Census data were used; in 2000, the 1990 data were used. Between 1980 and 1990, the Bureau of Census changed its estimating procedures. It now can identify streams more than 200 feet wide and bodies of water 4.5 acres and larger in area as inland water. Previously, the minimum width was 660 feet for streams and the minimum area was 40 acres for bodies of water. This procedure results in a decrease in total land area. For comparison of land area between inventories, 1989 estimates of land area by class were recalculated using 1990 land-area values from the Bureau of Census. Stocking is a quantitative expression of live tree stand density that can be expressed in absolute terms, e.g. basal area per acre, volume per acre, or number of trees per acre, or in relative terms, e.g.as a percentage of a previously defined standard (Arner et al. 2000).' For the 1989 inventory statistics, the stocking value of a tree was calculated using the basal area of the tree as a percent of 75 square feet per acre, which is the basal area standard for full use of the site (Anonymous 1967).? Basal-area stocking may well describe current timber volume, but it is inadequate to describe stand composition in a multiresource inventory in that it neither adequately measures current site utilization nor describes small- diameter stands. For the statistics in this publication, stocking is calculated using relative density, which represents site occupancy based on normal yield tables. Basal area is diameter-dependent only, whereas relative density reflects species composition, stage of development, and the social position of the trees present. A relative measure of stand density is useful for interpreting findings of extensive inventories, such as those performed by FIA, where a wide variety of stands are sampled. A procedure using relative density to calculate stocking was developed and accepted as the standard to be used by all FIA units in the country. Stand size is a classification (nonstocked, sapling/ seedling, poletimber, or sawtimber) of forest land based ‘Arner, Stanford L. et al. 2000. National Algorithms for Determining Stocking Class, Stand Size Class, and Forest Type for Forest Inventory and Analysis Plots.

Unpublished document on file at Northeastern Research Station Forest Inventory and Analysis, 11 Campus Boulevard, Suite 200, Newtown Square, PA 19073. on the size of the trees that dominate an area. Forest type is a classification of forest land based on the species found in the area. Both stand size and forest type are calculated based on stocking of all live trees, and, therefore, are affected by the change in the procedure to calculate stocking. To allow comparisons, this report includes several 1989 area tables showing estimates of area of timberland by stand-size class, forest type, and forest- type group that are calculated based on relative density. Forest type is a classification of forest land based on species that form a plurality of live-tree stocking. Prior to 1995, basal area was used to determine plurality of live- tree stocking. Currently, the forest type classification is based on stocking values calculated using relative density. There have been minor refinements with respect to how several species (e.g., red maple and beech) are allocated to local types since the previous inventory, and a programming error that affected the white pine type was corrected. Forty-six percent of the plots that were visited during the 1989 inventory were remeasured in 2000. The estimates of average annual change are derived from this set of data. These estimates afford an opportunity to look at components of change in the overall volume from occasion to occasion or from plot to plot. The tables showing 1989 information are from the plots that were selected at the prior inventory to produce an estimate of the area and volume. This dataset has been reprocessed using current procedures to produce a new estimate of the area and volume of the 1989 inventory. Because the tables of estimates for average annual change only contain a portion of the plots from the 1989 survey, inconsistencies in trends may result when the recalculated estimates of 1989 are compared with the estimates of average annual change between the 1989 and 2000 tables. Sampling errors have been included to indicate the precision of the data calculated. In addition to the traditional data gathered to estimate forest area and tree volumes, information was collected to describe forest wildlife habitat and forest-tree biomass.

Rights-of-way. Highways, pipelines, powerlines, canals. Rotten tree. A live tree of commercial species that does not contain at least one 12-foot sawlog or two noncontiguous sawlogs, each 8 feet or longer, now or prospectively, and does not meet regional specifications for freedom from defect primarily because of rot; that is, more than 50 percent of the cull volume in the tree is rotten. Rough tree. (a) The same as a rotten tree except that a rough tree does not meet regional specifications for freedom from defect primarily because of roughness or poor form; also (b) a live tree of noncommercial species. Salvable dead tree. A tree at least 5.0 inches d.b.h. that has died recently and still has intact bark; may be standing, fallen, windthrown, knocked down, or broken off. Sampling error. A measure of the reliability of an estimate, expressed as a percentage of the estimate. The sampling errors given in this report correspond to one standard error and are calculated as the square root of the variance, divided by the estimate, and multiplied by 100. Indicated in statistical tables as “SE”. Sapling. All live trees 1.0 through 4.9 inches d.b.h. Sapling/seedling stand. A stand-size class of forest land that is at least 10 percent stocked with live trees of which half or more of such stocking is in saplings or seedlings or both. Sawlog. A log meeting regional standards of diameter, length, and freedom from defect, including a minimum 8-foot length and a minimum top diameter inside bark of G inches for softwoods and 8 inches for hardwoods. (See specifications under Tree-Grade Classification.) Sawlog portion. That part of the bole of a sawtimber tree between the stump and the sawlog top. Sawlog top. The point on the bole of a sawtimber tree above which a sawlog cannot be produced. The minimum sawlog top is 7.0 inches diameter outside bark (d.o.b.) for softwoods and 9.0 inches d.o.b. for hardwoods. Sawtimber stand. A stand-size class of forest land that is at least 10 percent stocked with live trees of which half or more of such stocking is in poletimber or sawtimber trees or both, and in which the stocking of sawtimber is at least equal to that of poletimber. Sawtimber tree. A live tree of commercial species at least 9.0 inches d.b.h. for softwoods or 11.0 inches for hardwoods, containing at least one 12-foot sawlog or two noncontiguous 8-foot sawlogs, and meeting regional specifications for freedom from defect. Sawtimber volume. Net volume in board feet, by the International 1/4-inch rule, of sawlogs in sawtimber trees. Net volume equals gross volume less deductions for rot, sweep, and other defects that affect use for lumber. SE. See Sampling error. Seedling. A live tree less than 1.0 inch d.b.h. and at least 1 foot tall. Single-family house. House sheltering one family and immediately adjacent managed land. Snag. Standing dead tree with most or all of its bark missing that is at least 5.0 inches d.b.h. and at least 4.5 feet tall (does not include salvable dead). Soft hardwoods.

Stand-size class. A classification of forest land based on the size class (that is, seedlings, saplings, poletimber, or sawtimber) of the stocking of all live trees in the area. Standard cord. A unit of measure for stacked bolts of wood, encompassing 128 cubic feet of wood, bark, and air space. Fuelwood cord estimates can be derived from cubic-foot estimates of growing stock by applying an average factor of 80 cubic feet of solid wood per cord. For pulpwood, a conversion of 85 cubic feet of solid wood per cord is used because pulpwood is more uniform. State lands. Lands owned by the state or leased to the state for 50 years or more. Stocking. The degree of occupancy of land by trees relative to the growth potential utilized by a site. It is expressed as a percent of the “normal” value presented in 10 yield tables and stocking quides. Two categories of stocking are used in this report: all live trees and growing-stock trees. The relationships between the classes and the percentage of the stocking standard are: nonstocked (0 to 9); poorly stocked (10 to 34); moderately stocked (35 to 59); fully stocked (60 to 100); and overstocked (greater than 100). Strip mine. Area devoid of vegetation due to current or recent general excavation. Stump. The main stem of a tree from ground level to 1 foot above ground level, including the wood and bark. Timberland. Forest land producing or capable of producing crops of industrial wood (more than 20 cubic feet per acre per year) and not withdrawn from timber utilization (formerly known as commercial forest land). Timber products. Roundwood (round timber) products and manufacturing plant by-products harvested from growing-stock trees on timberland; from other sources, such as cull trees, salvable dead trees, limbs, tops, and saplings; and from trees on noncommercial forest and nonforest lands.

Tract/multiple family housing. Multiple individual residential units or attached units (e.g., apartment buildings and condominiums) and immediately adjacent managed land. Transportation right-of-way. Land associated with highways and railroads. Tree class. A classification of the quality or condition of trees for sawlog production. Tree class for sawtimber trees is based on their current condition. Tree class for poletimber trees is a prospective determination—a forecast of their potential quality when they reach sawtimber size (11.0 inches d.b.h. for hardwoods, 9.0 inches d.b.h. for softwoods). Tree grade. A classification of sawtimber quality based on guidelines for tree grades for hardwoods, white pine, and southern pine. (Note: Red pine was graded using the guidelines for southern pine. All specifications are shown under Tree-Grade Classification.) Trees. Woody plants that have well-developed stems and that usually are more than 12 feet tall at maturity. Unproductive forest land. See Other forest land. Upper-stem portion. That part of the main stem or fork of a sawtimber tree above the sawlog top to a diameter of 4.0 inches outside bark, or to the point where the main stem or fork breaks into limbs. Urban timberland. Forest land sufficiently productive to qualify as timberland that is completely surrounded by or nearly surrounded by urban development (not parks), whether commercial, industrial, or residential. Utility right-of-way. Land associated with pipeline or electric transmission lines; identified only if vegetative cover differs from adjacent land use. Veneer log or bolt.

This longer section, when used, is the basis for determining the grading factors, such as diameter and cull deduction. "In basswood and ash, diameter inside bark at the top of the grading section may be 12 inches and DBH may be 15 inches. “Grade 2 trees can be 10 inches diameter inside bark at the top of the grading section if otherwise meeting surface requirements for small grade 1's. "A clear cutting is a portion of a face free of defects, extending the width of the face. A face is one-fourth of the surface of the grading section as divided lengthwise. ‘Fifteen percent crook and sweep, or 40 percent total cull deduction are permitted in grade 2 if size and surface of grading section qualify as grade 1. If rot shortens the required clear cuttings to the extent of dropping the butt log to grade 2, do not drop the tree's grade to 3 unless the cull deduction for rot is greater than 40 percent. 15 16 TIE AND TIMBER GRADE GRADE FACTORS SPECIFICATIONS indiormurs Scaling Diameter (inches) 8 inches d.i.b. and larger Length, without trim (feet) 12 feet and larger no requirements: not graded on cutting basis Clear cuttings Maximum sweep allowance Sound surface defects permitted Any number, if none has an average collar’ diameter Single knots that is more than one third of the log diameter at the point of occurrence One-fourth d.i.b. of small end for half logs, and one- half d.i.b. for logs sixteen feet long Sound surface defects permitted Any number, provided the sum of the collar diameters Whorled knots does not exceed one third the log diameter at the point of occurrence Sound surface defects permitted Knots Any number not exceeding knot specifications, if they do not extend more than 3 inches into the contained tie or timber z b ; : , Unsound surface defects permitted Any number and size if they do not extend into contained tie or timber.

Degrade two grades if present on two faces. Degrade three grades if present on three or four faces. (7) If the final grade of the grading section is 1, 2, or 3, examine the tree for weevil injuries in the merchantable stem above 16 ft. If the total apparent weevil injuries exceed three, degrade the tree one grade below the section grade. Otherwise the tree grade equals the final section grade. "Trees under 16 inches DBH require four full length good faces. *Scaling diameter is estimated at the top of the 16-foot grading section. * No tree will be designated below Grade 4 unless net tree scale is less than one-third of gross tree scale. 17 SOUTHERN PINE TREE GRADES Grade 1 - trees with 3 or 4 clear faces on the 16-foot grading section. Grade 2 - trees with 1 or 2 clear faces on the 16-foot grading section. Grade 3 - trees with no clear faces on the 16-foot grading section. After the tentative grade is established, the tree will be reduced one grade for each of the following: (1) Sweep. Degrade any tentative Grade 1 or 2 tree one grade if sweep in the lower 12 feet of the grading section amounts to 3 or more inches and equals or exceeds one-fourth the diameter at breast height. (2) Heart rot. Degrade any tentative Grade 1 or 2 tree one grade if conks, punk knots, or other evidence of advanced heart rot is found anywhere on the tree stem. NOTE: No tree can be degraded below Grade 3, provided the total scaling deductions for sweep and/or rot do not exceed two-thirds the gross scale of the tree. Trees with total scaling deductions in excess of two-thirds are classified as cull. A face is one-fourth the circumference of the 16-foot grading section and extends the full length of the grading section. Clear faces are those free from knots measuring more than 1/2 inch in diameter, overgrown knots of any size, and holes more than 1/4 inch in diameter. Faces may be rotated, if necessary, to obtain the maximum number of clear faces on the grading section. One-log trees are graded by using the Southern Pine Log Grades. This is recommended because the entire merchantable volume of the tree is contained in the graded section. The log grading system gives a more accurate prediction of the lumber grade-yields for such trees than would the tree grading system.

The International 1/4-inch log rule is used by the USDA Forest Service in the East to estimate the product potential in board feet. The reliability of the estimate obtained by conversion will vary with the size of the log measure. The conversion given here, 3.48 cubic meters, is based on the cubic volume of a log 16 feet long and 15 inches in diameter inside bark (d.i.b.) at the small end. This conversion could be used for average comparisons when accuracy of 10 percent is acceptable. Because the board foot unit is not a true measure of wood volume and because products other than dimension lumber are becoming important, this unit may eventually be phased out and replaced by the cubic meter. 19 References DiGiovanni, Dawn M. 1989.
