1 rtheast Field Guide, Version 1.7 APPENDIX 2 -- EASTERN U.S. SITE-TREE SELECTION CRITERIA AND FIA FOREST TYPE ALGORITHM FOR THE U.S. EASTERN U.S. SITE-TREE SELECTION CRITERIA Ideally, site trees in the eastern U.S. should be between years old. If preferred trees cannot be found in this age range, expand the age range to years. Reject trees outside the year age range, trees that exhibit signs of damage, trees with ring patterns that show signs of suppression, trees less than 5.0 inches DBH, trees with abnormalities at DBH, and trees with rotten cores. A list of preferred site-tree species are provided below. Site trees should be selected in the following order of preference: 1st Choice: representative of the stand, on the list below for your region. 2nd Choice: representative of the stand, on the list below for an adjoining eastern region. 3rd Choice: not representative of the stand, on the list below for your region. 4th Choice: not representative of the stand, on the list below for an adjoining eastern region. Last Choice: any suitable non-woodland tree on the general tree list. te: NE = rtheast, NC = rth Central, SO = Southern Code Common Name Region Softwood Species balsam fir NE, NC 043 Atlantic white-cedar NE 068 eastern redcedar NE, NC 070 larch (introduced) NE 071 tamarack (native) NE, NC 091 rway spruce NE 094 white spruce NE, NC 095 black spruce NE, NC 097 Red spruce NE 105 jack pine NE, NC 110 shortleaf pine NE, SO 125 red pine NE, NC 128 pond pine NE, SO 129 eastern white pine NE, NC, SO 130 Scotch pine NE, NC 131 loblolly pine NE, SO 132 Virginia pine NE, SO 241 northern white cedar NE, NC 261 eastern hemlock NE 195

Aspen reproduces by root suckers. They are highly susceptible of transmitting disease from open wounds caused by boring and scribing, which may cause damage to other trees in the stand. Veneer quality trees should also be avoided, if there are other acceptable trees in the plot area for site index and stand age. *762 can only be cored on public land. 196
