| Description: | Caption reads: "An even-aged stand of shortleaf pine, Irons Creek, Ouachita National Forest. Man boring tree 10.5 inches d.b.h., 48 feet tall and 70 years old. Here, there are 292 pines per acre ranging from 4 to 14 inches in diameter and 20 hardwoods from 10 to 14 inches in diameter. Although such stands exist over relatively small areas, studies of methods of commercial thinning by the sample plot method would be advisable in stands of this kind before many years have passed." Plate #11 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 Unpublished USFS report dated April 25, 1931, on file with SRS. |
