“…The eighth survey of South Carolina's forests marks an important shift from its predecessors, both in the scope of its measurements and in its timeliness. The first seven surveys provided valuable information about timberland-area, volumes, and growth-to-removal relationships (Conner 1998, Tansey andHutchins 1988)-but only a cursory assessment of the ecological relationships that influence forest health. Previous survey cycles ranged from 6 to 10 years, depending on fluctuations in Federal budgets and staffing.…”

“…Procedures we developed after Hurricane Hugo struck South Carolina on September 21, 1989, were significantly different from those we followed to conduct the Hurricane Camille assessment. In assessing damage from Hurricane Hugo (Sheffield and Thompson 1992), we used permanent FIA plots in 23 South Carolina counties and corresponding data from the 1986 field survey (Tansey and Hutchins 1988).…”
