* The report contains both 1983 tables and updated 1973 tables.

AREA

* New Hampshire, with 4,987.2 thousand acres of forest land, is 8'7 percent forested. Forest land has increased 1.9 percent since 1960.

* Ninety-six percent of New Hampshire's forest land, 4,812.1 thousand acres, is classified as timberland (formerly known as commercial

* Area of timberland has remained fairly stable between inventories.

* Sawtimber stands dominate with 61 percent of timberland area or 2,934 thousand acres. This is an increase of 23 percent since 1973. The forest is continuing to mature.

* Eighty-six percent of New Hampshire's timberland is privately owned.

BIOMASS

* The net green weight of all live trees on timberland is 488.9 million tons or l01.6 tons per acre. Softwoods account for 190.2 million tons or 39.5 tons per acre and hardwoods account for 298.6 million tons or 62.1 tons per acre.

* Growing-stock material is 275 million tons or 55 percent of the net green weight of all trees.

* Nongrowing-stock material is 227 million tons or 45 percent of the net green weight of all trees. Fifteen percent of this material is in rough and rotten culls, 45 percent is in growing-stock tops, 25 percent is in saplings, and the other 15 percent is in stumps, salvable dead trees, and rough and rotten tops.

* Growing-stock volume increased 16 percent since 1973 to 8.0 billion cubic feet, an average of 1,667 cubic feet per acre.

* Sawtimber volume increased 26 percent to 18.0 billion board feet, an average of 3,748 board feet per acre.

* White pine continues to be the number one species in New Hampshire's forest. It accounts for 19 percent of the growing-stock volume and 29 percent of the sawtimber volume.

* Red maple has increased by more than 137 percent since 1960 and has risen from an eighth-place volume ranking to second place in 1983 and now accounts for 13 percent of the growing-stock volume.

* Sawlog quality is improving; grade 1 and 2 sawlogs make up 27 percent of pine sawtimber and 36 percent of hardwood sawtimber.

TIbdBER PRODUCTS OUTPUT

* Sawlog production is up 33 percent to 242.6 million board feet per year.

* Total pulpwood production is up 68 percent to nearly 523,000 cords.

Recovery began wi th t h e expansion of t h e r a i l r o a d i n t h e mid-1800's.

Under t h e a u t h o r i t y of t h e McSweeney-McNary F o r e s t Research Act of 1928 and subsequent a c t s inc lud ing t h e Renewable Resources Planning Act of 1974 and t h e Renewable Resources Research Act of 1978, t h e USDA F o r e s t S e r v i c e conducts p e r i o d i c f o r e s t i n v e n t o r i e s of a l l s t a t e s t o provide up-to-date in f ormat ion on t h e f o r e s t resource of t h e Nation.

The d a t a i n t h i s r e p o r t were based on a c a r e f u l l y designed sample of f o r e s t c o n d i t i o n s throughout New Hampshire.

The r e l i a b i l i t y of t h e e s t i m a t i n g procedure c a n b e judged by two important s t a t i s t i c a l measures: accuracy and prec i s ion. h o n g s t a t i s t i c i a n s , accuracy r e f e r s t o t h e success of e s t i m a t i n g t h e t r u e va lue , p r e c i s i o n r e f e r s t o t h e c l u s t e r i n g of sample v a l u e s about t h e i r own averages o r t o t h e v a r i a t i o n among repea ted samples. We a r e mainly i n t e r e s t e d i n t h e accuracy of t h e inventory, b u t i n most i n s t a n c e s we can on ly measure i t s p r e c i s ion.

Although accuracy cannot be measured e x a c t l y , i t can b e checked.

After the tentative fog grade is established from above, the log will be degraded one grade for each of the following, except that no log can be degraded below grade 3.

1. Sweep. t)egrade any tentative 1 or 2 Iog one grade if sweep amounts to 3 or more inches and equals or exceeds one third (113) the diameter inside bark at small end. This is the final grade if there is no evidence of heart rot.

2. Mearr rot. &grade any tentative 1 or 2 Iog one grade if conk, massed hyphae, or other evidence of advanced heart rot is found anywhere in it.

' A face is one-fourth of the circumference in width extending full length of the log. Clear faces are those free of: knots measur- ing more than one-half inch in diameter, overgrown knots of any size, holes more than one-fourth inch in diameter. The faces may be rotated if necessary to obtain the maximum number of clear ones.
