' Areas of adequate reproduction support a seedling stand of commer- 

 cial species of sulEcient density to develop a new hardwood stand capable 

 of producing saw timber. 



2 Areas of intermediate reproduction support a seedling stand of com- 

 mercial species of sufficient density to supplement adequately the partial 

 overstory characteristic of cut-over delta hardwood stands. 



3 Sparsely reproducing areas have either no seedlings of commercial 

 species or too few seedlings to supplement adequately the partial over- 

 story.

• Field men classified fire damage subjectively on the basis of number 

 of trees injured and extent of injury. 



1 Both woods cull and mill cull are removed from board-foot volumes, 

 but only woods cull is removed from cubic-foot volumes. 



2 Cubic-foot volume of trees under sawlog size includes the wood 

 of the main stem from stump to a usable top. The minimum allow- 

 able top was never less than 4 inches and seldom more than 8. The 

 cubic volume of sawlog-size trees includes the volume to a merchant- 

 able top for saw timber and does not include top wood or limb wood. 



3 Of the total elm volume, approximately 51 percent is cedar elm, 42 

 percent white elm, and 7 percent winged and red elm. 



* Approximately }4 of this volume is black gum. 

 ' Approximately 23 percent of this volume is hickory. 

 6 The volume of persimmon included here has been expressed in cubic 

 feet only, even though some trees were more than 13 inches in diameter.
