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.

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.

Timberland 


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.

Nearly three-quarters of the timberland acres support less than 5,000 board feet per acre, 
while some 83,000 acres, all in private ownership, contain more than 10,000 board feet per 
acre.

sidered salvable for wood products are on private land. Similarly, most of the trees that 
were culled are on private land, and nearly two-thirds are rotten.

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

(Abies concolor) and Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannit) account for an additional 25 
percent of the growing-stock volume, and aspen (Populus tremuloides) contributes 11 per- 
cent. Most of this volume is in private ownership.

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-

Volume on woodland acres amounted to 1.4 billion cubic feet, most of which is in P-J or 
oak (Quercus gambelii). A small amount, some 3 percent, is in the timber species of 
Douglas-fir, ponderosa pine, white fir, and cottonwood (Populus fremontii).

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.

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.

Logging residue—The unused portion of growing-stock trees cut or killed by logging. 


Low-risk old-growth stand—Timber stand over 100 years old in which the majority of the 
trees are expected to survive more than 10 years. 


Miscellaneous Federal land—Land administered by Federal agencies other than the U.S. 
Department of Agriculture, Forest Service or U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of 
Land Management. 


Mortality—The net volume of growing-stock trees that have died from natural causes dur-

stock trees, less deductions for cull volume. 


Net volume in cubic feet—Gross cubic-foot volume in the merchantable portion of trees less 
deductions for cull volume. For timber species, volume is computed for the merchantable 
stem from a 1-foot stump to a minimum 4-inch top diameter outside bark (d.o.b.), or to 
the point where the central stem breaks into limbs. For woodland species, volume is com- 
puted outside bark (0.b.) for all woody material above d.r.c. that is larger than 1.5 inches

mean annual growth attainable in fully stocked natural stands. 


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.

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)
