MFRIC: List of Tables

List of Tables

Note: Some forest types recognized in the current tabulation were not recognized in past surveys (i.e., 1977 and 1990). As a result, the 2005 results column in trend Tables 5-9 will not sum exactly to the current area or volume estimates. For current survey breakdowns by type, see Tables 1- 4 and 10 - 13.

FOREST AREA
(Guided interpretation of Tables 1-4)

Table 1. Area of forest land by forest survey unit and major land-use class
Table 2. Area of forest land by ownership group
Table 3. Area of forest land by forest type
Table 4. Number of plots by forest type

MINNESOTA FOREST TRENDS
(Guided interpretation of Tables 5 - 8)

Table 5. Trends in average stand age by forest type, timberland
Table 6. Trends in timberland area by forest type
Table 7. Trends in number of live stems by forest type, timberland
Table 8. Conifer vs. hardwood area and number of stems, timberland

Table 9: Age class acreage by forest type for timberland, reserved, and other forest, Minnesota 1977-2005. (Guided interpretation of the following tables).

Note: 1977 and 1990 inventories did not separate out the forest type groups: exotic hardwoods, exotic softwoods, eastern red cedar and oak-pine. As a result, the tables for these forest type groups listed below will have zero values for 1977 and 1990 inventories. To group current types in a manner comparable to 1977 and 1990, we suggest combining types as follows:

Exotic softwood --> red pine
Eastern red cedar --> oak-hickory
Oak-pine --> oak hickory
Exotic hardwoods --> elm, ash and cottonwood
