Age of average dominant tree, 20 years. 4,000 trees per acre. Rock Creek, Ouachita National Forest, Arkansas. Stands like this and those shown in Plates 19 and 20 are common in some districts on the Ouachita National Forest. As study of growth rates and possible thinnings in such stands would be well worth while." Plate #16 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 Unpublished USFS report dated April 25, 1931, on file with SRS.
