Description: Caption reads: "Young mature stand of shortleaf pine showing group character of stand, Rock Creek, Ouachita National Forest. This picture illustrates a common condition on the Ouachita National Forest. Here, in order to clarify the proper policy in marking trees for cutting, the trees must be studied individually and in relation to small groups rather than in stands. The ordinary sample plot method is not well adapted to such a study." Plate #10 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 Unpublished USFS report dated April 25, 1931, on file with SRS.
