PREFACE

The primary objective of Forest Survey—a continuing, nationwide undertaking of the Forest Service, U.S. Depart- ment of Agriculture—is to provide an assessment of the renewable resources for the forest lands of the Nation. Fundamental to the accomplishment of the objective are the periodic State-by-State resource inventories. Originally, Forest Survey was authorized by the McSweeney-McNary Act of 1928. The current authorization is through the Renewable Resources Research Act of 1978.

The Intermountain Research Station with headquarters in Ogden, UT, conducts the forest resource inventories for the Rocky Mountain States of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, western South Dakota, Utah, Wyoming, western Texas, and Oklahoma’s Pan- handle. These inventories provide information on the ex- tent and condition of the forests—its volume of wood and stand dynamics as expressed by growth, removals, and mortality for State, privately owned, and most other forest lands not in the National Forest System. These data, when combined with similar information on National Forest lands, provide a basis for forming forest policies and pro- grams and for the orderly development and use of the resources.

RESEARCH SUMMARY

The forest land base outside the National Forests in northwestern New Mexico totals more than 4 million acres. Three-quarters of these forests are owned by private in- dividuals or companies. Acres supporting stands of timber species total 917,000, while the woodland resources typified by stands of pinyon-juniper account for more than 3 million acres. These areas contain wood volumes of 936 million cubic feet and 1.5 billion cubic feet, respectively. This report presents additional information on the land base, timberland and woodland area, and associated in- ventory volume, growth, and mortality.

INTRODUCTION

This report presents the principal findings of the most recent Forest Survey of the timberland and woodland resources outside the National Forests in northwestern New Mex- ico. Phase I of the survey began in 1985 with the collection and reconciliation of area infor- mation and aerial photo interpretation. The field phase began in early June 1986 and was completed in mid-November of the same year.

Northwestern New Mexico counties.

The resource statistics in this report include estimates for those lands in private owner- ship and those public lands administered by the USDI Bureau of Land Management, other Federal agencies, the State of New Mexico, and county and municipal governments. Reserved areas, such as those lands administered by the USDI National Park Service, are not field sampled but are included in the total area summaries (table 1). Resource estimates for those lands administered by the USDA Forest Service in the National Forest System are not included in this report but will be combined with the estimates presented here and in other sample area reports to form the basis for a comprehensive statewide analysis of New Mexico’s forest resource situation.

HIGHLIGHTS

Area The total land area of northwestern New Mexico is 20.2 million acres. Some 7.3 million of it is publicly owned. Those lands outside the National Forests, about which this report is concerned, amount to 17 million acres. Of these, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) administers nearly 3 million acres, the State of New Mexico controls over 1.1 million acres, and the remaining area—nearly 13 million acres—is in private ownership.

Area—Of the 917,800 acres of timberland a substantial portion is in private holdings. Only 5 percent is administered by public agencies.

Well over half the timberland acres support stands in which ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) predominates. Another 25 percent of the area is about evenly divided between the spruce-fir and Douglas-fir types. The remaining area supports stands of white fir, spruce, aspen, or cottonwood.

Volume—Growing-stock volume amounts to 936 million cubic feet and includes 3.6 billion board feet of sawtimber. Rough, rotten, and salvable dead trees account for an additional 83 million cubic feet of volume.

Of the growing-stock volume, 80 percent is contained in sawtimber-size stands. Less than 1 percent of total growing stock is in sapling/seedling or nonstocked stands.

The bulk of the growing-stock and sawtimber volume is in private ownership.

Two-thirds of the growing-stock volume is in trees less than 17 inches diameter at breast height (d.b.h.). About 50 percent of the sawtimber volume is in trees less than 17 inches d.b.h.

Components of Change—On an average annual basis, gross growth of growing stock is increasing the standing inventory by about 238 million cubic feet or 2.5 percent. When mor- tality is deducted, however, the annual rate of change in the absence of harvest is 22 million cubic feet.

Mortality of growing stock is low, amounting to a tenth of 1 percent of inventory. The specific cause of death for most trees was unknown. Disease, however, was the major agent where a cause of death could be determined.

Area—More than three-quarters of the forested area is in the woodland types. Over two- thirds is privately owned. The BLM administers almost a fourth of the woodland area.

The woodland area is composed of three forest types, but the pinyon-juniper complex (P-J) is by far the most extensive. Although stands of pure juniper, either Rocky Mountain (Juniperus scopulorum), Utah (J. osteosperma), or oneseed (J. monosperma), exist they are rather insignificant in relation to P-J, as is the Gambel oak type.

Slightly more than three-fourths of the woodland acres are capable of producing crops of wood such as fuelwood and fenceposts on a more or less sustained basis. The 743,000 acres classed as low site usually occupy the more harsh sites where vigorous growth and success- ful natural regeneration are difficult if not impossible to attain.

DIAMETER CLASS

Distribution of cubic foot volume on woodland outside National Forests by d.r.c. class.

Because merchantability standards are nonexistent for woodland species, all of this material is potentially usable for fiber products such as fuelwood and fenceposts. An addi- tional 254 million cubic feet of dead material was also tallied, most of which is contained in live trees.

Slightly more than 10 percent of all the pinyon tallied qualified as potential Christmas trees. Of these, some 2.9 million or 7 percent are classed as premium grade, 33 percent are standard, and the rest are utility grade. The bulk of these trees are in the 6- to 10-foot class, which is the most desirable for household use.

Of the juniper and oak trees tallied, 18 percent met minimum criteria for fenceposts. Slightly more than two-thirds of the qualifying segments were classed as line posts with the remainder meeting the criteria for the more valuable corner post. More than three-quarters of the fenceposts were juniper.

Components of Change—The woodland inventory is increasing at an annual rate of 1.5 percent. In total, 21 million cubic feet of wood was added to the standing volume in 1986. Consumption of products from woodlands will reduce this increment somewhat.

Overall, net annual growth per acre for woodland amounts to about 7 cubic feet. By type, the most productive is the oak averaging just over 20 cubic feet per acre in annual increment.

HOW THE INVENTORY WAS CONDUCTED

The inventory was designed to provide reliable statistics primarily at the State and sam- ple area levels.

Initial area estimates were based on the classification of 69,032 sample points systema- tically placed on the latest aerial photographs available. The sample points were summar- ized and grouped into strata for subsequent field sampling. The photo points, adjusted to meet known land areas, were used to compute area expansion factors for the sampling strata means.

Field

Compilation

Land classification and estimates for timberland and woodland characteristics and volume were based on observations and measurements recorded at 2,657 field sample locations, of which 632 were forested.

T= TIMBERLAND W=WOODLAND- °. = NATIONAL FOREST

Distribution of timberland and woodland field locations outside National Forests in northwestern New Mexico.

Sample trees for timberland were selected using a 5-point cluster. Trees less than 5 inches d.b.h. were measured on a 1/300-acre fixed radius plot. Trees 5 inches d.b.h. or larger were selected using a variable radius plot. A 20 basal area factor was used for ponderosa pine locations. Other timberland locations were measured using a 40 basal area factor. Sample trees for woodland were selected using a 1/10-acre or a 1/5-acre fixed radius plot for trees 3 inches d.r.c. and larger. Trees less than 3 inches d.r.c. were tallied on 1/300-acre subplots.

All photo and field data were loaded onto tape and stored for computer editing, computa- tion, and tabulation. Final estimates from these data were based on statistical summaries, a portion of which is included in this bulletin. Volume and defect were computed using equa- tions developed by Edminster and others (1980, 1981), Kemp (1958), Chojnacky (1985), Meyers (1964), and Meyers and others (1972).

DATA RELIABILITY

Individual cells within tables should be used with caution. Some are based on very small sample sizes, which may result in high sampling errors. The standard error percentages shown in tables 2 and 8 were calculated at the 67 percent confidence level.

TERMINOLOGY

Acceptable tree—Growing-stock tree meeting specified standards of size and quality, but not qualifying as a desirable tree.

Area condition class—A classification of timberland reflecting the degree to which the site is being utilized by growing-stock trees and other conditions affecting current and prospective timber growth (see Stocking):

Class 10—Areas fully stocked with desirable trees and not overstocked.

Class 20—Areas fully stocked with desirable trees, but overstocked with all live trees. Class 30—Areas medium to fully stocked with desirable trees and with less than 30 per- cent of the area controlled by other trees and/or inhibiting vegetation or surface condi- tions that will prevent occupancy by desirable trees.

Class 40—Areas medium to fully stocked with desirable trees and with 30 percent or more of the area controlled by other trees, or conditions that ordinarily prevent oc- cupancy by desirable trees, or both.

Class 50—Areas poorly stocked with desirable trees, but fully stocked with growing- stock trees.

Class 60—Areas poorly stocked with desirable trees, but with medium to full stocking of growing-stock trees.

Class 70—Areas nonstocked or poorly stocked with desirable trees, and poorly stocked with growing-stock trees.

Class 80—Low-risk old-growth stands.

Class 90—High-risk old-growth stands.

Nonstocked—Areas less than 10 percent stocked with growing-stock trees.

Basal area—The cross-sectional area of a tree expressed in square feet. For timber species the calculation is based on diameter at breast height (d.b.h.); for woodland species it is based on diameter at root collar (d.r.c.).

Christmas tree grade—Pinyon species are classified as Christmas trees using the following guidelines:

Premium—Excellent conical form with no gaps in branches and a straight bole. Standard—Good conical form with small gaps in branches and bole slightly malformed. Utility—Conical in form with branches missing and bole bent or malformed.

Cull—Not meeting one of the above classifications.

Cord—A pile of stacked wood equivalent to 128 cubic feet of wood and air space having standard dimensions of 4 by 4 by 8 feet.

Cull tree—Live tree that is unmerchantable now or prospectively (see Rough tree and Rotten tree).

Cull volume—Portions of a tree’s volume that are not usable for wood products because of rot, form, missing material, or other cubic-foot defect. Form and sound defects include severe sweep and crook, forks, extreme form reduction, large deformities, and dead material.

Deferred forest land—Forest lands within the National Forest System that are under study for possible inclusion in the Wilderness System.

Desirable tree—Growing-stock tree (1) having no serious defect in quality to limit present or prospective use for timber products, (2) of relatively high vigor, and (3) containing no pathogens that may result in death or serious deterioration within the next decade.

Diameter at breast height (d.b.h.)—Diameter of the stem measured at 4.5 feet above the ground.

Diameter at root collar (d.r.c.)—Diameter equivalent at the point nearest the ground line that represents the basal area of the tree stem or stems.

Diameter classes—Tree diameters, either d.b.h. or d.r.c., grouped into 2-inch classes labeled by the midpoint of the class.

Farmer/rancher-owned land—Land owned by a person who operates a farm or a ranch and who either does the work or directly supervises the work.

Forest industry land—Land owned by companies or individuals operating a primary wood- processing plant.

a

Forest land—Land at least 10 percent stocked by forest trees of any size, including land that formerly had such tree cover and that will be naturally or artificially regenerated. The minimum area for classification of forest land is 1 acre. Roadside, streamside, and shelterbelt strips of timber must have a crown width at least 120 feet wide to qualify as forest land. Unimproved roads and trails, streams, and clearings in forest areas are classified as forest if less than 120 feet wide.

12

Other public land—Public land administered by agencies other than the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service.

Other removal—The net volume of growing-stock trees removed from the inventory by cultural operations such as timber-stand improvement, by land clearing, and by changes in land use, such as a shift to wilderness.

Poletimber stand—Stand at least 10 percent stocked with growing-stock trees, in which half or more of the stocking is sawtimber or poletimber trees or both, with poletimber stock- ing exceeding that of sawtimber (see definition for Stocking).

Poletimber tree—Live tree of timber species at least 5 inches d.b.h. but smaller than saw- timber size.

Post—Juniper and oak species are evaluated for post potential using the following criteria: Line post—A 7-foot minimum length with 5 to 7 inches diameter at the butt, 2.5-inch minimum small end diameter, and reasonably straight and solid.

Primary wood-processing plant—Plant using roundwood products such as sawlogs, pulp- wood bolts, veneer logs, and so forth.

Productivity class—A classification of forest land that reflects biological potential. For timberland the potential net annual growth at culmination of mean annual increment in fully stocked natural stands is the index used. For woodland, characteristics that affect the land’s ability to produce wood, such as soil depth and aspect, are used. Furthermore, woodland is classified as high site where sustained wood production is likely, or low site where the continuous production of wood is unlikely.

Removal—The net volume of growing-stock trees removed from the inventory by harvest- ing, cultural operations, land clearings, or changes in land use.

Reserved forest land—Forest land withdrawn from tree utilization through statute or ad- ministrative designation.

Residue: Coarse residue—Plant residue suitable for chipping, such as slabs, edgings, and ends. Fine residue—Plant residue not suitable for chipping, such as sawdust, shavings, and veneer clippings. Plant residue—Wood material from primary manufacturing plants that is not used for any product.

INTERMOUNTAIN RESEARCH STATION

The Intermountain Research Station provides scientific knowledge and technology to improve management, protection, and use of the forests and rangelands of the Intermountain West. Research is de- signed to meet.the needs of National Forest managers, Federal and State agencies, industry, academic institutions, public and private or- ganizations, and individuals. Results of research are made available through publications, symposia, workshops, training sessions, and personal contacts.

The Intermountain Research Station territory includes Montana, idaho, Utah, Nevada, and western Wyoming. Eighty-five percent of the lands in the Station area, about 231 million acres, are classified as forest or rangeland. They include grasslands, deserts, shrublands, alpine areas, and forests. They provide fiber for forest industries, minerals and fossil fuels for energy and industrial development, water for domestic and industrial consumption, forage for livestock and wildlife, and recreation opportunities for millions of visitors.

Several Station units conduct research in additional western States, or have missions that are national or international in scope.

Station laboratories are located in:

Boise, Idaho

Bozeman, Montana (in cooperation with Montana State University) Logan, Utah (in cooperation with Utah State University)

Missoula, Montana (in cooperation with the University of Montana) Moscow, Idaho (in cooperation with the University of Idaho) Ogden, Utah

Provo, Utah (in cooperation with Brigham Young University)

Reno, Nevada (in cooperation with the University of Nevada)
