Although this 12-county area 684 (25%) accounts for less than ll percent of the land surface of Kentucky, it contains about 20 percent of the State's total forest area. Forest More than 2.2 million acres (80 percent of the Region) are covered with woodland. The remainder of the land area is in farm, urban, and other nonforest uses. Nonforest 2,090 (75%) Laurel is the only one of the Region's 12 counties that is less than 70 percent for- ested. Breathitt County, with 281,000 acres, has the most woodland, but McCreary is more densely forested--almost 96 percent. 19 6 3 Forest Area has Increased 6 Percent In 1949 the Southern Cumberland con- Nonforest 556 (20%) tained 2,090,000 acres of forest land. Since then the forest has enlarged by 128,000 acres, Komest an increase of 6.1 percent (fig. 1). Much of this increment is no doubt the result of a 2,218 (80%) decline in agriculture. Both the number of farms and the total acreage of farmland in the Region have decreased sharply since 1949. Some of these abandoned farms have reverted to forest.

SsSsoT Nine Half of the Commercial Forest Area is in Sawtimber-Size Stands Because classification standards have changed since the last inventory, a depic-— tion of trends in forest area by stand-size classes would not be meaningful. However, under present forest inventory definitions, a fairly desirable stand-size situation does exist in the Southern Cumberland Region. About 49 percent of the commercial forest area is in stands composed mainly of saw- timber-size trees. Twenty-six percent is in poletimber-size stands and 24 percent is in seedling and sapling stands. Less than 1 percent of the commercial forest is classi- fied as nonstocked land--land less than 10 percent stocked with growing-stock trees (Catal Bo * "J ww 1, Pe gi\\e_Z4 ce) Ja Wo ep ana’ 4 Sawt imber 1,067 (49%) Seedlings & saplings 537 (24%) Poletimber 574 (26%) FIGURE 3.--Distribution of commercial forest area by stand-size class, 1963 (in thousands of acres and percent).

TOTAL VOLUME 10 cords 1949 1963 Since the last forest inventory the growing- stock volume has increased from 7.7 to 9.1 cords on a per-acre basis (fig. 5). Overall, the volume has increased by 3.8 million cords, a gain of 24 percent or 1.7 percent per year (fig. 6).

Hardwood grow- ing-stock volume is up 29 percent from what it was in 1949. One-half of the Region's 2.9 million cords of softwood volume is shortleaf pine. Between surveys the volume of shortleaf pine decreased while that of other softwoods, Virginia pine and hemlock in particular, increased. All told, softwood growing stock increased 36 thousand cords or a little more than 1 percent. Sawtimber Volume is up 8 Percent The volume of sawlog-size material in the Region has increased 8 percent from 4,900 to 5,291 million board feet. Red oaks account for 1,443 million board feet (27 percent) and white oaks for 1,068 million board feet (20 percent) of the present volume. The volume of all hardwood sawtimber has increased by 590 million board feet, a gain of 15 percent. The sawtimber volume of nearly all the major hard- wood timber species increased substantially. Softwood sawtimber volume fell off 20 percent to 770 million board feet between surveys. The National Forests, though accounting for only 14 percent of the Region's commercial forest land area, contain 1,139 million board feet or 22 percent of the sawtimber volume. .Well over half of the Region's volume of soft- wood sawtimber is growing on National Forests. Average sawtimber volume per acre has increased from 2,344 to 2,416 since the last inventory. About four-fifths of the sawtimber volume is in sawtimber-size stands which con- tain an average of 3,951 board feet per acre. Poletimber-size stands contain an average of 1,318 board feet per acre and other stands average 581 board feet per acre. County Volume Because the previous forest inventory of Kentucky lacked the intensification of the cur- rent inventory, no county volume statistics were provided in 1949. However, a comparison of 1963 statistics with unpublished estimates for 1949 allows us to view a few general trends. This comparison indicates that the total volume of growing stock has increased in nine of the Region's counties between surveys. The great-— est percentage gains took place in Breathitt, Owsley, and Rockcastle Counties. Decreases occurred in Bell, Laurel, and Lee Counties. McCreary has more timber volume than any of the other counties in the Region. This County accounts for 14 percent of the Region's total growing stock and 16 percent of the saw- timber volume. Almost 40 percent of the Region's softwood sawtimber volume is located in McCreary County. 6°6), OP G°06T ‘2 TeOlicmwe, setqunoo TLV Ub, ene 3° 9272 0°9¢2 AST TUM AL?
