The 1988 Forest Survey of Arkansas revealed new trends in forest resources. After decades of decline, forest area increased 3 percent. Pine plantation acreage increased substantially while acreage in natural pine stands decreased. Softwood inventory was down 5 percent, with growth also declining. Loblolly pine volume exceeded that of shortleaf pine for the first time in Arkansas history. The outlook for hardwood resources is positive. Inventory and growth have increased, and loss of bottomland hardwood acreage appeared to be at a standstill.Front cover: Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) image of Arkansas produced from data collected by the NOAA-11 satellite of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on April 11, 1991. In general, forest land is dark red; nonforest land is light red or blue; water is dark blue.l Some 8.0 million acres of timberland supported young, well-stocked stands where no obvious treatment was needed to improve prospective growth. On the remaining 9.3 million acres, the forest survey identified management opportunities that would increase prospective growth.
