A forest stand simulator, PTAEDA2, was developed to model growth in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantations on cutover, site-prepared areas. Individual trees were used as the basic growth units. In PTAEDA2, trees are assigned coordinate locations in a stand and 'grown' annually as a function of their size, the site quality, and the competition from neighbors. Growth increments are adjusted by stochastic elements representing genetic and microsite variability. Mortality is generated stochastically through Bernouli trials, Subroutines were developed to simulate the effects of hardwood competition, thinning, and fertilization on tree and stand development. Options for varying the spatial location of trees to mimic randomness in machine and hand planting operations are also included.

A diameter distribution yield model was developed based upon measurements of 117 0.1-acre temporary plots located in naturally regenerated loblolly pine stands in the Piedmont and Coastal Plain of Virginia and the Coastal Plain of North Carolina. Diameter distributions were derived using the Weibull density function by requiring that the distribution's arithmetic and quadratic means matched those predicted from stand-level attributes using regression equations. Software was written in FORTRAN and BASIC implementing the model and an existing basal area projection equation. Stand and stock tables are presented for 30-year projections from age 20 for various combinations of site index and initial basal area.

RootReport is a project of the Department of Forest Resources and Environmental Conservation at Virginia Tech. We study the medicinal plant trade as part of our mission to provide research and extension services for non-timber forest products. From 2013-2016 we sent out a confidential, voluntary questionnaire to ginseng dealers about the other products they may have purchased. Our goal was to be able to estimate the annual output of some of the more commonly traded medicinal forest products and better understand their value and where they come from. As we prepare for our next survey to begin in this summer, we wanted to thank the buyers who participated, and share our results from the previous round.

Forest regeneration decisions are among the most important that foresters make. In many instances, the cost of regeneration may be the largest cost item incurred in producing a timber crop. Accordingly, information on the cost of establishing satisfactorily stocked stands is a necessary ingredient for effective forestry decision making. This report presents a method for obtaining such information and provides cost estimates for establishing loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantations in Virginia.

The Virginia Commission of Outdoor Recreation coordinated through the Planning District Commissions an inventory of statewide recreation resources between April, 1977 and September, 1977. The School of Forestry and Wildlife Resources, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, transferred the data into a computerized retrieval system from which this summary booklet was derived.
This inventory is an integral part of the Virginia Outdoors Plan Information System. Its primary purpose is to provide information enabling the Commission to formulate and write the statewide comprehensive outdoor recreation plan. It is also envisaged that this data be used for other planning activities, such as those conducted by federal and state agencies or the 22 Planning District Commissions in Virginia, as well as for various research activities, special studies, and teaching.
The purpose of this publication is threefold. The first is to encourage further use of the data it contains by informing the public of the specific type of information available. The second is to present a comprehensive set of data which can be used to answer general inquiries about the nature and distribution of recreation resources in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Finally, it is to advise that this data is available in other forms which may better suit individual needs but which would be too numerous to publish in this bulletin.

This manual has a twofold purpose: (1) to provide operating information for the game administrator, and (2) to provide documentation of the FORTRAN IV program which is the basis of the Wildlife Management Planning Game. It is assumed that the reader is already familiar with the manual entitled 11 Instructions to Participants." It provides the player with an introduction to computer simulation and describes the game itself.
The Wildlife Management Planning Game provides the participant with an opportunity to make decisions in an environment of complex relationships and uncertainties. Enthusiasm and motivation in the learning experience are enhanced when the player can view the future outcome of his policy decisions and revise them with the aid of his increased "experience." Players should be allowed opportunities for policy revision and reruns during the gaming session. This allows the player to fully interpret results and formulate policy variations in an effort to improve his plan. After each play of the game, group discussions should be encouraged so that the player can benefit from the experiences of fellow students.

Much attention has been directed in recent years to finding ways of increasing the productivity of private non-industrial forest land ownerships in the South. Justification for the interest directed towards this ownership lies in its collective size, physical accessibility, potential for intensive management and the annual erosion of land base and growing stock of southern forests.
Non-industrial private owners collectively are a most influential group, in position to shape the future posture of forestry and the quantity and quality of bbenefits to be obtained from forest lands. The manner in which these landowners husband their ownerships will determine progress made in arresting soil erosion, providing adequate supplies of potable water, maintaining a wildlife resource for consumptive and non-consumptive uses, continuing forest environments as a locale for recreational uses, and assuring a continuing supply of timber at reasonable costs for an expanding population.
There is little doubt concerning the need to encourage greater production from these lands. By its sheer size, the non-industrial private ownership is the key to achieving gains in forest production. This ownership controls more than 70 percent of the forest land in the South. These owners must provide the major means of meeting projected increased needs in the goods and services derived from forest lands. As later paragraphs show, anticipated future needs surpass present productivity for southern pine. The productive potential exists tor the South to meet anticipated future needs, but to do so the non-industrial private ownerships must increase the amount of forest land supporting southern pines and must husband more intensively the southern pine forest.
Non-industrial private landowners are a diverse group. They vary widely in their methods and reasons for acquiring forest properties, objectives of ownership, knowledge of forest management, financial capabilities and interests in enhancing the productive and financial values of their properties. Motivation is often lacking for them to enhance the value of their ownerships by increasing production.
To define research priorities to assist these owners, a cooperative effort was initiated by the Southeastern Forest Experiment Station of the U.S. Forest Service, the Virginia Division of Forestry and the School of Forestry and Wildlife Resources at Virginia Tech. Some funding was provided by the Station and a Problem Analysis Team organized. This team met three times during 1981, planned the approach taken, reviewed and made suggestions on the sequence of manuscript revisions, and participated in the ranking of research priorities. Suggestions, preliminary manuscript review, and research priority ranking were solicited from a Technical Review Panel (See Appendix A). The resulting analysis presented here is a synthesis of the viewpoints of individuals representing governmental agencies, associations, wood-using industry, private landowners and forestry educators throughout the southern pine region. The prime objective is to assure an adequate supply lo southern pine to meet projected needs, while assuring non-industrial private landowners that investments in forest production are financially sound.

RootReport is an ongoing project of the Department of Forest Resources and Environmental Conservation at Virginia Tech. We do market assessment and create extension resources for nontimber forest products. For the last three years we have sent questionnaires to medicinal plant buyers about what products they purchase, how much is being produced and how harvests are distributed around the region. At this stage, we are focusing on medicinal plants in eastern deciduous forests. The data presented here were collected in 2015 and represent products purchased in 2014.

Knowledge of the present and projected public demand for outdoor recreation is a key element in the planning of a comprehensive system of outdoor recreation opportunities throughout Virginia. Public preferences for outdoor recreation experiences have changed dramatically in recent years, and formal measures of demand at any point in time remain only approximate. Nevertheless, demand analyses that are based upon the premise of satisfying public needs--as the public defines them--have a solid basis in the traditions and policies of governmental service agencies, and do provide a general guide for the planning, acquisition and development of outdoor recreation lands and facilities.
This outdoor recreation demand booklet, published by the School of Forestry and Wildlife Resources, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, in cooperation with the Virginia Commission of Outdoor Recreation, has three general purposes. The first is to provide federal, state and local agencies and organizations with responsibilities for the provision of outdoor recreation services with guidelines on current and projected demand for recreation activities by state, region, and locality. The second is to make the demand estimates easily available to agencies and organizations whose responsibilities do not include outdoor recreation but whose activities may impinge upon that system. Finally, the data contained here should be useful in various research activities, special studies, and teaching regarding the Virginia outdoor recreation system.

Wildlife's social value has long been known. Early attempts to place dollar values on wildlife were crude (Stains and Barkalow, 1951; Collins, 1959) and often incomprehensible. For example, Collins found that each deer killed by bow hunters was worth $5,280 based on hunter expenditures. However, these early researchers were aware that it is important to consider wildlife's social value in forest management decisions. These include pest management dee is ions generally and Southern Pine Beetle ( Dendroctonus frontal is Zimm) (SPB) management decisions specifically.
Wildlife has three basic values in the Southeast: recreational, aesthetic, and scientific. The recreational value is realized by the more than 30 million people who spend billions of dollars each year pursuing fish and game species. These people partially support the sporting arms and ammunition, camping equipment, campground, and restaurant industries.

A basic job of fisheries management agencies is to forecast the demand and produce the necessary supply of fishing opportunities. Present day angling consumption rates often exceed managers' ability to supply fishing opportunities of the desired quality. Therefore, a primary means for improving fisheries management may be to regulate angling consumption. Operations research techniques are well suited for handling the complexities involved with planning multiple action policies for regulating angler consumption.
PISCES is a computer-implemented simulator of the inland fisheries management system of Tennessee, but is adaptable for use in any state. The purpose of PISCES is to aid in planning fisheries management decision policies at the macro-level. PISCES generates predictions of how fisheries management agency activities will affect angler use for a fiscal year. Subjective probability distributions for random variables and Monte Carlo simulation techniques are employed to produce an expected value and standard deviation for each prediction. Test runs under realistic hypothetical situations and discussions with personnel of Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency suggest that PISCES may help fisheries management agencies to improve budget allocation decisions, to formulate multiple action policies for regulating angler use, and to enhance fisheries development. A hypothetical application of PISCES in Tennessee is given.

Recent studies (e.g. Southern Forest Resource Analysis Committee, 1969; U. S. Forest Service, 1972) indicate that wood requirements may exceed available supplies by the end of this century. The latest forest survey of Virginia (Knight and McClure, 1967) indicated a 15 percent excess of pine cut over pine growth As a result of this latter finding, Virginia's General Assembly passed a 1970 Reforestation of Timberlands Act. This Act provides financial assistance to private landowners to restore former pine growing lands to pine production.
Virginia has clearly established a state policy of encouraging investment in forest production. However, individual landowners may have alternative uses for their land and/or capital, or they may not be fully aware of their land's potential for timber. The specific objective of this study was to develop a means for making economic data on using their land for loblolly pine production available to Virginia's individual forest landowners. The study was limited to loblolly pine for several reasons. Loblolly pine is perhaps the most important of the. timber species currently grown in Virginia, and it is expected to increase in importance.Of the 67.5 million tree seedlings planted in Virginia in 1972, 62.0 million were loblolly pine and 36.5 million of these were planted by farmers and other individuals (Virginia Forests, 1972). Loblolly pine accounts for over 90 per cent of the approximately 85 thousand acres artificially regenerated in Virginia each year (Shores, 1970). In addition, new information on the physical yields of natural stands of loblolly pine and loblolly pine plantations in Virginia has recently become available (Burkhart, et al., 1972a; Burkhart, et al., 1972b).

In this report, we develop a general theory of the relationship between life history and population structure for largemouth bass. In its most usable form the model is represented by a stochastic integral equation that is analogous to the classical Lotka model for age structure of populations. The corresponding differential equations can also be used successfully when closed-form solutions are available or when the phenotype dimension is low enough to permit numerical solution.
Three general conclusions are presented. First, population dynamics may be appropriately viewed as a consequence of life history phenomena. This view suggests that, at least where prediction of population structure or where explanation of the phenomena is desired, such phenomena as density-dependence may be most appropriately described by analyzing effects of population structure and density on life history in the population. The second conclusion is that variation in life history may be important in determining population structure. Terms describing effects of variation are explicitly included in the model equations. The magnitude of these terms, however, is completely unknown for any life histories with which we are familiar. The third conclusion to be drawn is that population structure, at least averaged over time, should be fairly stable in large populations. Effects of variation in small populations, on the other hand, have not been analyzed and might be important.

The Weibull distribution has been used in many areas of forestry research. Complete Weibull distributions have been used to describe individual tree mortality (Glover and Hool 1979), stand level mortality (Somers et al. 1980), seed germination (Bonner and Dell 1976, Rink et tl, 1979), and tree height and diameter distribution in forest stands (Bailey and Dell 1973, Hafley and Schreuder 1977, and others). Computer programs to estimate parameters of the complete Weibull distribution when the data are complete are readily available (Bailey 1974, Schreuder et al. 1978). Sample data for some applications may be censored or truncated rather than complete.
The program WEIBUL was prepared to allow estimation of complete or truncated Weibull distribution parameters from several types of censored or truncated data.

New emphasis has been placed on the weight of whole trees and portions of trees. Weight inventories and purchase of wood by weight are becoming increasingly common for saw logs as well as pulpwood. More information needs to be gathered on the weight of portions of tree stems, however, before weight can be a standard measurement unit. This information must also be flexible enough to be used with varying utilization standards so that new inventories will not be required when a standard changes.
The objective of this study was to develop main stem green and dry weights with and without bark to various top diameters inside and outside bark for red oak, white oak, and maple in the Appalachian region of Virginia.

Southern pine seed orchards covering more than 10,000 acres currently produce over 160,000 pounds of improved seed having a potential of 1 billion seedlings annually. By the year 2000, annual seed production · is expected to reach 500,000 pounds. Seed orchards not only represent potential for improved growth, wood quality and pest resistance, but they also represent a large capital investment in orchard establishment and equipment and the ~ignificant annual costs of orchard maintenance, protection and harvesting. Since the immediate goal of the seed orchard investment is the annual production of cones and seed, the task of the seed orchard manager could be greatly lightened by a system that will forecast annual cone and seed crops and monitor production efficiency. Such a system has been developed by Bramlett and Godbee (1982). In the Inventory- Moni taring System (IMS) a set of sample trees are chosen from the seed orchard population. Then, based on the survival of cones on tagged sample branches in each sample tree, the expected number of cones and seed from the orchard can be predicted as early as 18 months prior to cone harvest. Bramlett and Godbee (1982) detailed various procedures for the selection of sample trees as well as methods for choosing sample branches and conducting flower, cone let and cone counts. Besides providing guidelines for data collection in the orchard, the authors also defined the variables used in the calculation of predicted cone and seed yields, including cone efficiency, seed potential, seed efficiency, extraction efficiency and germination efficiency. They showed how to compute (or update) the values of these variables and how to apply them in models to calculate predicted bushels of cones, predicted pounds of seed, predicted number of seedlings and other predicted values for the orchard. In addition to these predicted values, Bramlett and Godbee (1982) also demonstrated how the IMS can be used by the orchard manager to evaluate orchard productivity, identify the factors reducing yields, and formulate corrective action, including fertilization and pest management.
Because a great deal of record-keeping and repetitive mathematical operations are involved in the IMS, it is ideally suited to computerization. A computerized version of the IMS not only has the advantage of efficient data storage and manipulation, but it also makes possible the application of more sophisticated mathematical models as they become available, and facilitates the utilization of productivity data accumulated from year to year to improve the accuracy
of the system.

Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) is one of the most important commercial species to the forest industries in the South, with a range extending through the Piedmont and the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains from Maryland to eastern Texas. Although there is a great deal of published information on the growth and yield of loblolly pine, much of the data for these studies has been collected in the southeastern part of the natural loblolly pine range and published results have generally involved only volume units such as board feet, cubic feet, or cords. Consequently, a cooperative yield study between the Division of Forestry and Wildlife Resources at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and several industrial forestry organizations was initiated to gather yield information which would be primarily applicable to the Virginia area. The scope of this study included per-tree and peracre data for the various volume units as well as for green and dry weight. This paper presents per-acre yield information in volume and weight units for old-field loblolly pine plantations.

Data from plots established in unthinned loblolly pine plantations on cutover site-prepared lands were used to develop size class distribution and yield predictions. The data come from plantations of loblolly pine established over much of its natural range and represent a wide variety of stand conditions and site-preparation treatments. A three parameter Weibull density function was used to model diameter distributions, and a computer program, COYIELD, was developed to predict yields from stand attributes. The predicted yields should satisfactorily represent many sites in the Piedmont and Coastal Plain regions of the Southern United States.

Ranked set sampling was introduced by McIntyre (1952) in estimating pasture yields. As described by McIntyre, the ranked set sampling procedure is implemented by first selecting a set of n elements at random from a population, and then raking those elements from lowest to highest by inspection of the variable of interest. The lowest ranked element is then measured. A second set of n elements is selected and ranked, and the second lowest element is measured. This process is continued until n such sets have been selected and n elements have been measured. The entire procedure can be repeated as many times as deemed necessary.
McIntyre claimed that the ranked set estimator of the population mean was unbiased regardless of errors in ranking, and that with perfect ranking the variance of the mean from ranked set sampling would be less than that of random sampling when the number of measured elements is the same for both methods. Halls and Dell (1966) concluded that ranked set sampling was more efficient than simple random sampling in estimating pasture yields. A theoretical underpinning for ranked set sampling was provided by Dell and Clutter (1972), who also demonstrated that ranked set sampling is more efficient than random sampling even when errors in ranking are present.
Ranked set sampling is clearly advantageous when measurement of an element is time consuming or costly and sample elements can be reliably ranked. The effectiveness of this technique has already been demonstrated for estimating forage and pasture yields. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of ranked set sampling for estimating shrub phytomass in forest stands.

Regression equations were developed for estimating total aboveground phytomass for 17 tree and shrub species in the understory of second growth Appalachian oak forest stands in southwest Virginia. All possible combinations of three functional forms of the equation and three independent variables, singly and in combination, were tested. The linear model, with stem basal area as the independent variable, provided the best fit to the data for 15 of the 17 species. The exceptions were the blueberries (vaccinium stamineum and v. vacillans), where crown area performed better than basal area as the independent variable.

This outdoor recreation needs assessment booklet, published by the School of Forestry and Wildlife Resources, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, in cooperation with the Virginia Commission of Outdoor Recreation, has three general purposes. Its primary purpose is to provide guidelines on the amount and location of current and projected needs for additional outdoor recreational opportunities to federal, state, and local agencies and organizations with responsibilities for the provision of outdoor recreation services. The second is to make the needs estimates easily available to agencies and organizations whose responsibilities do not include outdoor recreation, but whose activities may impinge upon that system. Finally, the data contained here should be useful in various research activities, special studies, and teaching regarding the Virginia outdoor recreation system.
Need for outdoor recreation land and facilities, as defined in this booklet, represents the difference between demand for and supply of outdoor recreation opportunities. As such, a needs assessment requires the previous calculation of present and projected recreation demand and a thorough inventory of existing recreation supply. These analyses were accomplished in 1977 and have been published as the 1977 Virginia Outdoor Recreation Demand Survey and the 1977 Virginia Outdoor Recreation Inventory. Copies of these booklets are available from the Virginia Commission of Outdoor Recreation.
Since the needs estimates are dependent upon the ever-changing demand for and supply of outdoor recreation lands and facilities, the figures contained in this booklet are only approximate. The estimates should be viewed as providing general guidelines for decision-making, and not as precise measures of current deficiencies in the state's outdoor recreation system.

During the spring of 1971, a project was undertaken with the objective of constructing a unique simulation game that would be helpful in improving wildlife management planning. The game would be used primarily for inservice training of state game agency personnel and as a teaching aid in university courses. In addition, it could be used to familiarize those not acquainted with wildlife management planning with the significant decision variables of the system. Through the game, these people could become better acquainted with wildlife management planning and be able to understand and appreciate some of the unique problems involved.
The Wildlife Management Planning Game involves the planning processes of the wildlife management agency of an eastern state. The participant is placed in the position of a planner for a mountainous region. His primary responsibilities are scheduling management activities and setting hunting regulations. A five-year operating plan is formulated and then implemented on an annual basis. Each year, reports are issued that reflect public reaction to the planner's policies and provide information about man-days of hunting, population levels, estimates of legal and illegal harvests, and budget constraints for the following year. The planner is allowed to modify the operating plan after examination of the annual report if he feels changes are necessary or desirable. This process provides "on-the-job” learning experience by allowing the participant to see the results of his decisions at different points in time and, hopefully, of profiting from his mistakes.

A FORTRAN based simulator, PTAEDA, was developed to model growth in managed loblolly pine (Pin us taeda L.) plantations, using individual trees as the basic growth units. In PTAEDA, trees are assigned coordinate locations in a stand and "grown" annually as a function of their size, the site quality, and the competition from neighbors. Growth increments are adjusted by stochastic elements representing genetic and microsite variability. Mortality is generated stochastically through Bernouli trials. Subroutines were developed to simulate the effects of site preparation, thinning, and fertilization on tree and stand development. Comparisons with published yields showed close agreement for thinned and unthinned old-field plantations. Results indicated that, compared to stand-level models used in the past, the simulator is more flexible in terms of growth and yield estimation and evaluation of alternatives under a wide range of management regimes.

G-HAT (Growth of Hardwoods After Thinning) is a system of computer programs used to predict growth and yield of Appalachian mixed hardwoods after thinning. Given a tree list or stand table, along with inputs of stand age, site index, and stand basal area before thinning, G-HAT software uses species-specific individual tree equations to predict tree basal area increment and total height for the residual stand. Cubic foot volumes, based on desired merchantability standards, may be obtained for thinned trees, the residual stand, and the projected stand. G-HAT is available as a self-contained, interactive program (BASIC G-HAT) or as a library of FORTRAN subroutines (FORTRAN G-HAT). BASIC G-HAT, for personal computers, is designed for interactive, user-friendly sessions with keyboard input and screen output. Its use requires no programming ability. FORTRAN G-HAT is compatible with mainframe computers, minicomputers, and personal computers. It consists of modular subroutines which allow considerable flexibility in application, such as interface with computerized timber inventory systems and stand simulators.

This paper presents an analysis of some significant factors that should be evaluated when considering alternatives to oil burning boilers. Managers contemplating using or increasing the use of wood for energy should find the analysis particularly pertinent. A fundamental assumption of the analysis is that additional boiler capacity is to be added to an existing power generating facility. The method of analysis provides a yearly cash flow stream that tells how much better off the installation would be with an alternative to oil. A logical extension of this is the ran king of alternatives from most to least attractive.

In 1966 Virginia had a hardwood growing stock volume of 10.5 billion cubic feet and a hardwood sawtimber volume of almost 26. 3 billion board feet. Hardwood timber was distributed over more than 12.8 million acres of commercial forest land in the state (Knight and McClure, 1967).
This hardwood timber is converted into a multitude of finished products. Hardwoods comprise well over one-half of the total volume in Virginia's multi-million dollar forest products industry each year. Thus the hardwood resource is very important to the welfare of the citizens of the Old Dominion.
Despite the importance of hardwoods in Virginia's timber industry, most hardwood stands have not been placed under intensive forest management. An essential ingredient of a forest management program is information on the yields of timber products which can be achieved by the various tree species on different sites. Yield and site data which can be applied to Virginia's hardwoods are still relatively scarce. The purpose of this paper is to survey the primary works on the yields of hardwood species found in Virginia and to present results from studies on the relations of hardwood growth to various site conditions.

We here at Virginia Tech’s RootReport are excited to release data on the 2015 native medicinal plant harvest, and would like to thank everyone who participated in our study. We are preparing to publish these results and a summary of our 3 years of data collection in greater detail, but thought it would be useful to make preliminary figures available for the many people who work with non-timber forest products. Our numbers for 14 of the more commonly traded native forest medicinal species were collected through a survey of 131 registered ginseng buyers in 15 states.
Wild-harvested material accounts for the vast majority of current output for the products we surveyed. The one exception is goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis). A survey by the American Herbal Products Association of its members found that 24 percent of goldenseal purchased from 2005-2010 was cultivated (AHPA 2012). By comparison, the next most commonly cultivated of our surveyed products in the same period was false unicorn (Chamaelirium lutem) (4%) and black cohosh (Actaea racemosa) (2%).

A growth and yield model for thinned loblolly pine plantations was developed using data from 128 0.2-acre permanent plots in the Virginia Piedmont and Coastal Plain. The Weibull function, used to characterize stand diameter distributions, was searched to insure that the resulting total basal area and average dbh estimates were identical to those predicted from stand variables using regression equations. Program WTHIN was written in standard FORTRAN to provide stand and stock tables for thinned old-field loblolly pine plantations.
Trials with different thinning intensities indicated reasonable trends, as compared with published studies.

Methods were developed to model growth and development of seeded loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) stands, using individual trees as the basic growth units. Aggregated spatial patterns and individual tree sizes are generated at age 10. Tree diameters and heights are then incremented annually as a function of their size, site quality, competition from neighbors, and stochastic components representing genetic and microsite variability. Individual tree mortality is determined stochastically through Bernouli trials. Subroutines were developed to simulate the effects of hardwood competition and control, thinning, and fertilization. The overall model was programmed in FORTRAN and initial tests were made with published yields. The initial stand generation components were calibrated using a comprehensive set of data from young seeded stands of loblolly pine, but individual tree growth and mortality components relied on previously published relationships developed for plantations. Results indicated that, in order to accurately model stand structure, the growth and mortality relationships must be calibrated for seeded stands. Data collection procedures, calibration methods, and recommendations for further work are discussed.

A model was developed to predict pine survival, growth and yield for unthinned loblolly pine plantations with varying levels of hardwood competition in the main canopy. Inputs for the model are number of loblolly pine trees per acre planted, site index for loblolly pine, percent of hardwood basal area in the main canopy of the stand, and age(s) at which output is desired. From these inputs the model computes, by 1-inch dbh classes, the number of trees surviving, basal area, and volumes per acre.
The model, which was constructed using sample plot data from old-field and cutover-site plantations, was validated with independent data from a hardwood conversion/site preparation study. Overall, there was close agreement between the observed values and the model predictions.

The Virginia Commission of Outdoor Recreation coordinated the inventorying of outdoor recreation facilities in the state between June and December, 1972. The inventory is an integral part of the Virginia Outdoors Plan Information System. Its primary purpose was to provide data for the Commission to formulate and write the statewide comprehensive outdoor recreation plan. However, the intended use of these data was much broader. It was envisaged that they would be useful for other planning activities, such as those conducted by federal and state agencies or the 22 Planning District Commissions in Virginia, as well as for various research activities, special studies, and teaching.
The purpose of this publication is threefold. The first is to encourage further use of the data by informing the public of its existence and the specific variables contained therein. The second is to present a limited but comprehensive set of data which can be used to answer general inquiries and which will save interested parties the trouble of writing to obtain it. Finally, we wish to inform the public of the availability of the data in other forms which may better suit individual needs but which would be too numerous to publish in this bulletin.
