ABSTRACT. _ The second forest inventory of North Dak0tashows growing-stock volume reaching 207 million cubic feet in 1980. Hardwoods make up more than 99 percent of this total, softwoods, KEY WORDS: 'hardwoOds. Growing stock, sawtimber,
percent of the growing stock volume is in the elm-ashcottonwood' forest type (bottomland hardwoods). North Dakota is divided into East and West inventory units. Eighty-six percent of growing-stock volume is in the eastern unit. The sampling _rror of volume
for the survey was +_
North Dakota's 300,000 acres of commercial forest land supported 207 million cubic feet in growing-stock trees in 1980. Included in the total volume of growing stock are 510 million board feet of saw log material, Additional volume in live rough, rotten, and shortlog trees (nongrowing stock) is 89 million cubic feet. Hardwoods make up more than 99 percent of the gr0wing-stock volume North Dakota. Quaking aspen accounts for 29 percent of the total. More than 40
8.17 percent for 207 million cubic feet of growing stock in the State. The second forest inventory of North Dakota was conducted in 1978 and 1979 by the North Central Forest Experiment Station with cooperation from the North Dakota Forest Service.
