Types and Areas 



The area of commercial forest land is character- 

 ized by a large proportion of old growth and a 

 small acreage deforested (table 2). The areas of 

 the individual forest-cover types recognized in the 

 survey are given in table 3 by ownership class and 

 summarized. Table 4 presents type areas by 

 forest-survey units. The national forests include 

 the largest area of pine saw timber and also the 

 largest area of noncommercial land (fig. 6).
