red oak
Location: Irons Creek, Ouachita National Forest, Arkansas

Plate #7 in W.G. Wahlenberg, "Report on a trip for the tentative location of an experimental forest within the Ouachita National Forest, Arkansas." Unpublished USFS report dated April 25, 1931, on file with SRS.
Date: 1931

Caption reads: "Mature and over-mature stand of shortleaf pine showing typical flat top tree in foreground. 19.4 inches d.b.h., and 53 feet high. A 2-log tree rotten in the center. Irons Creek, Ouachita National Forest. These are 2 to 4-log trees averaging about 3 logs. Total hieghts probably range from 45 to 85 feet. 33 pines from 8 to 26 inches in diameter and 1 10-inch black gum were tallied on an acre. Permanent sample plots in such stands as this would be of most value in a study of the normal rates of mortality over a period of years. Such information is needed by the National Forest in order to judge the effective of withholding mature and over-mature trees because of relative inaccessibility of stands, the desire to maintain cover, or "fire insurance" seed trees, or for the purpose of spreading the allowable cut over the period required to bring the growing stock of the forest to normal." Plate #13 in W.G. Wahlenberg, "Report on a trip for the tentative location of an experimental forest within the Ouachita National Forest, Arkansas." Unpublished USFS report dated April 25, 1931, on file with SRS.
