The annualized system was implemented in Vermont in 2003 and in New Hampshire in 2002 to provide updated forest inventory information every year based on a 5-year cycle.…”

The first full remeasurement of the annual inventory of the forests of Vermont and New Hampshire was completed in 2012 and covers nearly 9.5 million acres of forest land, with an average volume of nearly 2,300 cubic feet per acre. The data in this report are based on visits to 1,100 plots located across Vermont and 1,091 plots located across New Hampshire. Forest land is dominated by the maple/beech/birch forest-type group, which occupies 60 percent of total forest land area. Of the forest land, 64 percent consists of large diameter trees, 27 percent contains medium diameter trees, and 9 percent contains small diameter trees. The volume of growing stock on timberland has continued to increase since the 1980s and currently totals nearly 19 billion cubic feet. The average annual net growth of growing stock on timberland from 2007 to 2012 is approximately 380 million cubic feet per year. Important species compositional changes include increases in the number of red maple trees and American beech saplings which coincide with decreases in the number of eastern white pine and sugar maple trees as well as eastern white pine and northern red oak saplings. Additional information is presented on forest attributes, land use change, carbon, timber products, species composition, regeneration, and forest health. Detailed information on forest inventory methods and data quality estimates is included on the DVD accompanying this report. Tables of population estimates and a glossary are also included. AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to thank inventory crew members from Vermont and New Hampshire for their help:

The second full annual inventory of New Jersey's forests reports more than 2.0 million acres of forest land and 77 tree species. Forest land is dominated by oak/hickory forest types in the north and pitch pine forest types in the south. The volume of growing stock on timberland has been rising since 1956 and currently totals 3.3 billion cubic feet. Average annual net growth of growing stock from 2008 to 2013 was about 65.7 million cubic feet per year. This report includes additional information on forest attributes, land-use change, carbon, timber products, and forest health. The following information is available online at https://doi.org/10.2737/NRS-RB-109: 1) detailed information on forest inventory statistics, methods, and quality assurance of data collection, 2) a glossary of terms, 3) tables that summarize quality assurance, 4) a core set of tabular estimates for a variety of forest resources, and 5) a Microsoft ® Access database that represents an archive of data used in this report, with tools that allow users to produce customized estimates.

“…In 1971, some of this area may have been classified as nonforest land with tree cover (Ferguson and Mayer, 1974, Table 1). Thus the current area of timberland may be raised due to this definitional change.…”

A statistical report on the third forest survey of New Jersey conducted in 1986-1 987 by the Forest Inventory and Analysis Unit, Northeastern Forest Experiment Station. Statistics for forest area, numbers of trees, timber volume, tree biomass, average annual growth, and timber products output are displayed at the state, and when appropriate county levels. The current inventory indicates that the state has approximately 2.3 billion cubic feet of growing-stock volume, or 127.8 million tons of net green weight of live trees, on 1.9 million acres of timberland.
