“…Alabama timberland increased by 273,100 acres (McWilliams 1992). Louisiana was the only State recently surveyed that showed a loss of timberland area, and that loss was very small, 89,600 acres (Rosson 1995a).…”

“…Since the 1988 survey, basal area has increased, from 80.1 to 84.6 square feet per acre. Only one recently surveyed Midsouth State exceeded Arkansas' basal area, and that was Louisiana with 85.4 square feet per acre (Rosson 1995a). Basal areas of other recent State surveys were 75.6, 75.1, and 74.4 square feet per acre for east Texas (Rosson 2000), east Oklahoma (Rosson 2001a), and Mississippi (Rosson 2001b), respectively.…”

“…22,649.2 million cubic feet live-tree volume and 77,189.9 million board feet (Rosson 2001b); Louisiana had 20,738.3 million cubic feet of live-tree volume and 75,525.6 million board feet of sawtimber (Rosson 1995a).…”

“…A total of 5.6 million acres were in stands of 1,500 to 5,000 board feet per acre and 6.7 million acres were in stands with less than 1,500 board feet per acre. Of the States recently surveyed, Arkansas had the most timberland in the largest sawtimber class, only slightly edging out Louisiana (6.0 million acres) (Rosson 1995a). However, when analyzing the proportion of a State's timberland with more than 5,000 board feet per acre, Arkansas was second behind Louisiana, 33 percent for the former versus 44 percent for the latter (Rosson 1995a).…”

Cover photograph by Dr. James F. Rosson, Jr.-In the foreground is a 15-inch American beech (Fagus grandifolia) growing on shallow soils but near the lower section of the slope, where soil conditions are more mesic. This site is in Madison County, Arkansas, near the western limit of the natural range of beech. Although not common in Arkansas (only 8 trees ≥ 5.0 inches d.b.h. were tallied on FIA sample plots in Madison County, and only 255 trees ≥ 5.0 inches d.b.h. were tallied on FIA sample plots across the State) American beech adds much to the diversity of tree flora and provides important mast for wildlife. The large tree behind and slightly to the left of the beech is white oak (Quercus alba

Hurricane Katrina-induced forest damage in relation to ecological factors at landscape scale

Forest stand stability to strong winds such as hurricanes has been found to be associated with a number of forest, soil and topography factors. In this study, through applying geographic information system (GIS) and logit regression, we assessed effects of forest characteristics and site conditions on pattern, severity and probability of Hurricane Katrina disturbance to forests in the Lower Pearl River Valley, USA. The factors included forest type, forest coverage, stand density, soil great group, elevation, slope, aspect, and stream buffer zone. Results showed that Hurricane Katrina damaged 60% of the total forested land in the region. The distribution and intensity of the hurricane disturbance varied across the landscape, with the bottomland hardwood forests on river floodplains most severely affected. All these factors had a variety of effects on vulnerability of the forests to the hurricane disturbance and thereby spatial patterns of the disturbance. Soil groups and stand factors including forest types, forest coverage and stand density contributed to 85% of accuracy in modeling the probability of the hurricane disturbance to forests in this region. Besides assessment of Katrina's damage, this study elucidates the great usefulness of remote sensing and GIS techniques combined with statistics modeling in assessment of large-scale risks of hurricane damage to coastal forests.
