softwood reproduction old growth pulpwood |
| Organisms: | hemlock |
| Location: | Paul Smith Experimental Forest |
| Description: | There was more advance softwood reproduction here. The large hemlocks exceed 250 years in age and contained too much shake and rot to be cut. Hemlock pulpwood could not be marketed and many sound, pole-size trees also were left by the cutters. |

eastern spruce beetle red spruce |
| Location: | Paul Smith Experimental Forest |
| Description: | Some of the oldest and largest red spruce in this area. On a similar, nearby area, two hurricanes within an 8-year period destroyed 20 sq. feet of basal area of spruce. The eastern spruce beetle population probably built up in the windfall and they now are attacking and killing some large spruce like these. |

shortleaf pine blackgum |
| Location: | Irons Creek, Ouachita National Forest, Arkansas |
| Description: | 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 Unpublished USFS report dated April 25, 1931, on file with SRS. |
