Missouri’s Forest Resources In 2004
The Forest Service conducted and reported on
periodic, statewide forest inventories of
Missouri in 1947, 1959, 1972, and 1989
(Gansner 1965, Spencer and Essex 1976,
Spencer et al. 1992, USDA 1948). In 1999, field
work for the fifth inventory of Missouri began
and a new nationwide annual forest inventory
system was initiated. The inventory is being
conducted by the North Central Research
Station’s Forest Inventory and Analysis program
(NCFIA) and consists of a set of field plots systematically located across the entire State. Each
year, a panel that consists of one-fifth of the
field plots is measured. A complete inventory
consists of measuring, compiling, and reporting
the data for all plots (or five panels). By 2003,
all five panels had been measured, and results
of those measurements (considered the fifth
statewide inventory) were reported in Moser et
al. 2004. A more extensive issue-oriented report
is in preparation at this time.
In 2004, NCFIA continued the annual inventory effort with the first (annual) panel of the
sixth Missouri forest inventory. This sixth inventory of Missouri’s forest resources will be completed in 2008. Information presented in this
report is based on moving average estimates
that use the latest measurements of every field
plot (five panels: 2000-2004) for estimates of
current conditions such as area, number of
trees, volume, and biomass. Estimates of change
(growth, removals, and mortality) are based on
remeasured plots, so for this report only the
plots measured in 1999 and then remeasured in
2004 (one panel) provide the estimate of
change. In 2005, another panel will be remeasured and estimates of change will be based on
two panels of remeasured plots; by 2008 all five
panels will have been remeasured. The results
in this report are estimates based on sampling
techniques presented by Bechtold and Patterson
(2005).
Estimates from new inventories are often compared with estimates from earlier inventories to
determine trends in forest resources. However,
for the comparisons to be valid, the procedures
used in the two inventories must be similar. As
a result of our ongoing efforts to improve the
efficiency and reliability of the inventory, several
changes in procedures and definitions have
been made since the last Missouri periodic
inventory in 1989 (Hahn and Spencer 1991,
Spencer et al. 1992). Although these changes
will have little impact on statewide estimates of
forest area, timber volume, and tree biomass,
they may have significant impacts on plot classification variables such as forest type and standsize class. Some of these changes make it inappropriate to directly compare portions of the
2000–2004 estimates with those published for
earlier inventories. Only comparisons that are
appropriate and not impacted by changes in
procedures are discussed in this report. All of
the tables in this report and many others can be
generated at our Web site
(http://ncrs2.fs.fed.us/4801/fiadb/index.htm).

RESULTS
Area
Total area of forest land1 in Missouri consisted
of 14.7 million acres in 2004 (table 1). Eighteen
percent of this area is owned by public agencies
and 82 percent is owned by private landowners.
In 2004, 4 1/2 percent of total forest land area
was dominated by softwoods and 95 percent
was dominated by hardwoods. Oak/hickory
forests made up 83 percent of the total hardwood area. The pinyon/juniper forest type
group (primarily eastern redcedar)2 constituted
more than 70 percent of forest land dominated
by softwoods.

Forest land has three components:
(1) Timberland3—forest land that is not restricted from harvesting by statute, administrative
regulation, or designation and is capable of
growing trees at a rate of 20 cubic feet per
acre per year
(2) Reserved forest land—land that is restricted
from harvesting by statute, administrative
regulation, or designation (e.g., state parks,
national parks and lakeshores, and Federal
wilderness areas)
(3) Other forest land land that is not capable of
growing trees at a rate of 20 cubic feet per
acre per year and not restricted from harvesting
1 Forest land is land that is at least 10 percent
stocked with trees of any size, or that formerly had
such tree cover and is not currently developed for a
nonforest use. The minimum area for classification of
forest land is one acre.
2 In inventories before 1999, eastern redcedar was
distinguished from pinyon/juniper.
3 Timberland may not be equivalent to the area
actually available for commercial timber harvesting
or other access. The actual availability of land for
various uses depends upon owner decisions that
consider economic, environment, and social factors.
Similar to forest land, timberland area has continued to increase since its low point in the 1972
inventory (fig. 1); however, the total area of 14.2
million acres (table 2) in 2000-2004 was still less
than the 15 million acres estimated in the 1947
survey (USDA 1948).
Timberland area was dominated by hardwoods,
particularly oak/hickory (11.2 million acres)
(table 3 and fig. 2). Hardwoods made up 95.1
percent of the total acreage (table 2), 94 percent
of all public land acreage, and 95.3 percent of all
private landholdings. The oak-dominant component has increased over the last 50-plus years.
The oak/pine, oak/hickory, and white oak forest
type groups together constituted 77.6 percent of
the total timberland area in 1947, and oak/pine
and oak/hickory groups made up 85.8 percent in
2000-2004. For most of the forest type groups,
the preponderance of acreage was classified as
sawtimber stand-size. The exceptions were pinyon/juniper and oak/pine.
The acreage of timberland in the sawtimber class
has increased by over 5 million acres since 1947
(fig. 3). When we combine the sawtimber
acreage with the poletimber acreage, it appears
that Missouri’s forests are composed of many
large-diameter and, presumably, old trees.

Volume
The net volume of all live trees on forest land,
which includes growing stock, rough trees, and
rotten trees, was 18.5 billion cubic feet in 20002004 (table 4). Hardwoods constituted 17.1 billion cubic feet and softwoods made up 1.4 billion cubic feet. The net volume of all oaks was
11.4 billion cubic feet or 67 percent of all hardwoods. The net volume of select oaks (red and
white) was 5.4 billion cubic feet or 47.0 percent
of all oaks and 31.4 percent of all hardwoods.
This represents a large increase over the 1972
inventory, which listed the total cubic foot volume of all live trees as 9 billion cubic feet, all
hardwoods as 8.6 billion cubic feet, all oaks as
6.4 billion cubic feet, and all select oaks as 2.6
billion cubic feet (Spencer and Essex 1976).
4 Nonstocked land is timberland that is less than 10
percent stocked with all live trees.

Net volume of all live trees and salvable dead
trees on timberland was 18.1 billion cubic feet
in 2000-2004 (table 5 and fig. 4). All live trees
made up 17.9 billion cubic feet or 99.3 percent.
Of the 15.0 billion cubic feet of growing-stock
trees, 10.0 billion cubic feet or 66.4 percent was
sawtimber. Sawtimber constituted 66.7 percent
of softwood growing-stock volume and 66.1
percent of hardwood growing-stock volume
(table 5).
Cull tree volume (2.6 billion cubic feet) made up
14.3 percent of all live trees (table 5). The softwood cull tree volume of 82.6 million cubic feet
represented only 6.1 percent of the total softwood live tree volume, whereas hardwood culls
represented 14.9 percent of the total hardwood
volume. Given the phototropic (sun-following)
growth habit of hardwoods, the poor stem form
resulting from inadequate self-pruning, and the
history of high grading in hardwood stands, the
disparity in the cull percentage is not surprising.
Growing-stock volume has steadily increased in
Missouri over the last 55 years (fig. 5). The net
volume of growing stock on timberland totaled
15.4 billion cubic feet in 2000-2004 (table 6).
Softwood
Ninety-six percent of growing stock volume
(14.8 billion cubic feet) was in hardwood forest
types and 3.7 percent (573 million cubic feet)
was in softwood forest types (fig. 6). Table 6
shows volume estimates for softwoods and hardwoods for each forest type group. For example,
the oak/pine forest type group had 423 million
cubic feet of softwoods and 460 million cubic
feet of hardwoods.
Table 7 shows net volume of growing stock on
timberland by species group, species, and diameter class. The totals for softwood and hardwood
volumes, 1.3 billion cubic feet and 14.1 billion
cubic feet, respectively, are the same as the totals
at the bottom of the species columns in table 6.
The net volume of sawtimber on timberland was
49.0 billion board feet (table 8). As with many
other measures of coverage and abundance in
Missouri, hardwoods constituted the preponderance of the volume (91 percent or 44.6 billion
board feet). Red and white oaks totaled 32.3 billion board feet or 72.5 percent of the hardwood
sawtimber total. Trees that were 19 or more
inches in diameter were 5.6 percent of the softwood volume (246.7 million board feet) and

23.1 percent of the hardwood volume (10.3 billion board feet) (table 8). In 1989, the proportions were 3.6 percent and 16.8 percent, respectively (Spencer et al. 1992).
Biomass
All live aboveground biomass on timberland in
Missouri totaled 566.4 million dry tons in 20002004 (table 9). Almost 9 percent of that total, or
48.9 million dry tons, was in trees 1 to 5 inches

in d.b.h.; 75.9 percent, or 429.9 million tons,
was in growing-stock trees; and 15.5 percent, or

trees. Private landowners held 82.2 percent or
465.8 million tons of total biomass, and public
owners held 17.8 percent (100.7 million dry
tons). Of the 429.9 million dry tons in growingstock trees, 81.4 percent was on private land
and 18.6 percent was on public land. Among
non-growing-stock trees, 87.3 percent of the

biomass was on private land and 12.7 percent
was on public land (fig. 7).
Almost 72 percent of the total biomass of the
growing-stock trees was in the boles of trees,
while the remaining 28 percent was in stumps,
tops, and limbs (table 9). Approximately the
same proportions existed for the 87.7 million dry
tons of non-growing-stock trees: 72.8 percent
was in bolewood and 27.2 percent was in
stumps, tops, and limbs. The only apparent deviation was the percentage of biomass in publicly
owned growing-stock softwoods: 83.3 percent of
the biomass was made up of tree boles, and the
remaining 16.7 percent constituted the stumps,
tops, and limbs. Non-growing-stock softwoods
on public land, where there is a relatively small
amount of total biomass (187.1 thousand dry
tons), also had a slightly higher percentage in the
boles, 74.9 percent, than did the total ownership, non-growing-stock percentage of 72.8 percent (table 9).
Growth, Removals, and Mortality
Growth, removals, and mortality5 estimates are
based on comparisons of one panel of data from
the previous inventory (1999) to one panel of
data from the current inventory (2004). The net
growth of growing stock on Missouri’s timberland increased, on average, by 919.1 million
cubic feet per year from 1999 to 2004 (table 10).
Average annual softwood growth was 70.2 million cubic feet per year and average annual hardwood growth was 849.0 million cubic feet per
year. Hardwood growth made up 92.4 percent of
the total average annual growth in the latest
inventory; hardwood growing stock in the 1989
inventory was 90.4 percent of the total volume.
Select oaks (white and red) had a net average
increase of 239.8 million cubic feet per year.
Some of the other species groups with the greatest growth included other soft hardwoods, with a
net increase of 104.4 million cubic feet per year,
and hickory at 91.1 million cubic feet per year.
Average annual removals of growing stock on
timberland (table 11) totaled 167.9 million cubic
feet per year from 1999 to 2004. Softwood
removals were 8.4 million cubic feet per year or

growth, “removals” refers to estimated average annual removals, and “mortality” refers to estimated average annual mortality.

5.0 percent of the total average annual
removals. Hardwood removals were 159.5 million cubic feet per year. Average annual
removals from private property totaled 149.2
million cubic feet per year, 88.9 percent of all
removals. Public land removals averaged 18.7
million cubic feet per year (table 11). The
species group category “other red oaks” had the
highest average annual removals, at 46.7 million
cubic feet per year or 29.3 percent of the total
average hardwood removals. The next highest
oak species group was “select white oaks,” at
37.4 million cubic feet per year (23.5 percent of
total hardwood removals), followed by “select
red oaks” at 11.4 million cubic feet per year and
“other white oaks” at 9.4 million cubic feet per.
Average annual mortality of all growing stock on
timberland, 1999 through 2004, was 148.5 million cubic feet per year (table 12). More than 96
percent of the total mortality, or 144 million
cubic feet per year, was from hardwoods, while
the remaining 4.5 million cubic feet per year
was from softwoods. Across all species groups,
13.8 percent of average annual mortality, or
20.5 million cubic feet per year, occurred on
public lands. For hardwoods alone, 12.3 percent, or 17.7 million cubic feet per year of average annual mortality, was on public lands; for
softwoods alone, 61.8 percent, or 2.8 million
cubic feet per year of average annual mortality,
was on public land (table 12). Among hardwood species groups, the “other red oaks” category had the highest average annual mortality at
70.4 million cubic feet per year or 48.9 percent
of all hardwood mortality. This species group
also had the highest average annual mortality on
public lands, 12.1 million cubic feet per year.
The 17.1 percent of “other red oak” mortality
that occurred on public lands was the highest
percentage for all hardwoods and undoubtedly
reflects the impact of the oak decline complex
on the dense, overmature timber disproportionately represented on such lands (Lawrence et al.
2002).
Forest Health Update
The following information about pathogens and
insects affecting Missouri forests was excerpted
from the National Forest Health Monitoring
Program (FHM) Web site at:
http://fhm.fs.fed.us/fhh/fhh-04/mo/mo_04.pdf.
Weather Effects—Above average rainfall in the
spring of 2004 ended the 2 1/2-year drought in
northwestern Missouri. With the rain came
severe storms during late May and reports of
hail, wind, flood, and tornado damage at many
locations across the State. The wet spring was
followed by the seventh coolest summer (JuneJuly-August) on record with above average precipitation in much of the State during July and
August. Drier conditions returned in the fall,
especially in northern Missouri, resulting again
in below normal soil moisture conditions in the
northwest corner of the State by late November.
Oak Wilt—In 2004, there were 18 confirmed
cases of oak wilt caused by Ceratocystis
fagacearum out of 45 samples sent to the
Missouri Department of Conservation forest
health diagnostic lab (similar to 18 of 34 samples confirmed in 2003). Positives for 2004
were obtained from Audrain, Bates, Boone,
Callaway, Clay, Green, Harrison, Henry,
Johnson, Monroe, Montgomery, St. Charles, and
St. Louis Counties. The greatest number of positives were taken from pin oak (10), followed by
shingle oak (3), northern red oak (3), black oak
(1), and Shumard oak (1). Bacterial leaf scorch
is most likely to blame for the high number of
false positives obtained this growing season
because its diagnostic symptoms look the same
as those observed for oak wilt.
Disease Research and Surveys—Missouri forest
health specialists collaborated on the baseline
Phytophthora study conducted by the North
Central Research Station in 2004. Four study
sites were selected in the State. Preliminary
results yielded positives for Phytophthora spp.
and are awaiting identification. Phytophthora
species are responsible for a large number of
7
plant and tree diseases. Recent attention has been
centered around Phytophthora ramorum, the
causal agent of sudden oak death (SOD). SOD
nursery surveys were conducted by the Missouri
Department of Agriculture, but no SOD was
identified. In addition, the University of Missouri
conducted a Forest Service-sponsored survey for
SOD at 32 forest sites across the State, and again
no SOD was detected. These surveys will be conducted again in 2006.
Wood Borers and Oak Decline—Reports of
wood borer activity and oak decline remained
relatively stable compared to recent years’
reports. No large increases in wood borer activity
were observed. The abundant rainfall of 2004
may have played a role in limiting wood borer
activity in previously drought-stressed areas.
Oak Galls—In recent years, the horned oak gall
wasp, gouty oak gall wasp, and jumping oak gall
wasp have caused noticeable damage to oaks.
Horned oak galls and gouty oak galls continued
to be reported at high levels on pin oaks and
shingle oaks in Missouri, especially in the St.
Louis area. These branch galls can build up in
numbers over time resulting in increasing branch
dieback and tree decline. Leaf damage on white
oaks from the jumping oak gall wasp was very
minimal in 2004, reported only from isolated
locations around the State.
Gypsy Moth—In 2004, the Missouri Cooperative
Gypsy Moth Survey continued its annual effort
to detect the presence of gypsy moths by placing
and monitoring more than 11,800 traps throughout the State. A total of 18 moths were captured
statewide. Continuing the pattern of the past several years, the highest number of moths were
captured in the St. Louis area (8 moths in St.
Louis County and one moth in St. Charles
County). This was followed by captures in
southwestern Missouri (Barry, Stone, and Taney
Counties), where six moths were found, largely
near popular recreational areas. Additionally, two
moths were caught in Kansas City (Jackson
County) and one in Columbia (Boone County).
In spite of repeated moth captures in some areas,
there are no known populations of gypsy moths
in Missouri at this time. Sites where gypsy moths
have been captured are surveyed with an
increased trap density in the following year. In
many cases, survey results in the vicinity of past
captures have been negative within 1 or 2 years
following the original capture. Despite these
favorable past results, the risk of gypsy moths
establishing in Missouri continues to increase as
infested areas in nearby States expand. Statewide
gypsy moth monitoring efforts will continue
annually in Missouri.

Accuracy of the Inventory
Sampling errors measure the uncertainty in estimates derived from a portion of a population
rather than from the population as a whole. In
the case of the 2000-2004 Missouri forest inventory, a total sample of 9,598 plots were observed
over the entire State. Sampling errors for the estimates of statewide totals in this report are

the results would have been within the limits
indicated. For example, the estimated growingstock volume in the State is 15,377.8 million
cubic feet with a sampling error of +/- 1.34 percent (+/- 206.1 million cubic feet).
Inventory Methods
Since the 1989 inventory of Missouri, several
changes have been made to NCFIA inventory
methods to improve the quality of the inventory
as well as to meet increasing demands for timely
forest resource information. The most significant
difference between inventories is the change
from periodic to annual inventories. Historically,
NCFIA periodically inventoried each State on a
cycle that averaged about 12 years. However, the
need for timely and consistent data across large
regions, combined with national legislative mandates, resulted in NCFIA’s implementation of an
annual inventory system. Missouri was one of
the first States in the North Central region, and
in the Nation, to be inventoried with this new
system, which in Missouri began with plots
measured in 1999.
With the NCFIA annual inventory system, about
one-fifth of all field plots are measured each year.
In 2003, the entire inventory cycle was completed and all of the plots in Missouri had been
measured under the annual system. These measurements (1999-2003) are summarized in a previous report (Moser et al. 2004) and a more
detailed analysis of the data is currently being
prepared (Moser et al. in prep. ). With the completion of the 2004 measurements, we now have
measurements from all 9,598 plots taken over a
5-year period, 2000 to 2004; this includes the
2004 remeasurement of the 1,388 plots that
were measured in 1999. All of the plots provide
information for estimates of current conditions

but only the remeasured plots provide information for estimates of change (growth, removals,
and mortality) from 1999 to 2004. Over the next
4 years (2005-2008), all of the panels will be
remeasured and current information will be
updated each year with new measurements. The
number of plots used to calculate change estimates will increase with additional panels of
remeasured plots. The smaller number of sample
plots available for change estimation is reflected
in the estimates presented in this report.
Sampling errors for growing-stock growth,
removals, and mortality on timberland (6.02 percent, 19.51 percent, and 12.05 percent, respectively) are considerably higher than those for
timberland area and growing-stock volume on
timberland (0.86 percent and 1.34 percent,
respectively). There are other differences between
the current and change estimates because of the
smaller sample size for change estimation. For
example, table 7 reports growing-stock volume
in the “other yellow pines” species group; however, table 10 shows no growth in this species
group. The “other yellow pines” species group is
relatively uncommon in Missouri, and the plots
where it was measured have not yet been remeasured.
Other significant changes between the annual
inventory system and past periodic inventories
include the implementation of new remote sensing technology, a new sampling design and plot
configuration, and additional remotely sensed
and field data. The advent of remote sensing
technology since the 1989 inventory has allowed
NCFIA to use classifications of Multi-Resolution
Land Characterization (MRLC) data and other
available remote sensing and GIS products to
stratify the total area of the State and to improve
the precision of estimates.
Under the annual inventory system, new algorithms are being used to assign forest type and
stand-size class to each condition observed on a
plot. These algorithms are being used nationwide
by FIA to increase consistency among States. The
list of recognized forest types, grouping of these
forest types for reporting purposes, models used
to assign stocking values to individual trees, definition of nonstocked, and names given to the
forest types changed with the new algorithms. As
a result, comparisons between the published
2004 inventory results and those published for
the 1989 inventory may not be valid. For additional details about algorithms used in both
inventories, please contact NCFIA.
Sampling Phases
The annual inventory system is based on a threephase inventory. In the first phase, classified
satellite images and ancillary data are used to
stratify the State, while aerial photographs are
used to determine if plots could contain forest
land and need to be measured. The second
phase measures a traditional FIA suite of mensurational variables (basic tree and stand attributes), while the third phase focuses on suite of
variables related to the health of the forest.
The only land that could not be sampled was (1)
private land where field personnel could not
obtain permission from the owner to measure
the field plot and (2) plots that could not be
accessed because of a hazard or danger to field
personnel. The methods used in the preparation
of this report make the necessary adjustments to
account for sites where access was denied or hazardous.
Phase 1
This inventory used a classification of satellite
imagery and ancillary data for stratification. FIA
used the imagery to form two initial strata—forest and nonforest. Pixels within 60 m (2 pixel
widths) of a forest/nonforest boundary formed
two additional strata—forest edge and nonforest
edge. Forest pixels within 60 m on the forest
side of a forest/nonforest boundary were classified into a forest edge stratum. Pixels within 60
m of the boundary on the nonforest side were
classified into a nonforest edge stratum. In addition, all strata were divided into public or private
ownership based on information available in the
Protected Lands Database (DellaSala et al. 2001).
The estimated population total for a variable is
the sum across all strata of the product of each
10
stratum’s area (from the pixel count) and the
variable’s mean per unit area (from plot measurements) for the stratum.
Phase 2
Phase 2 of the inventory consisted of the measurement of 9,598 field plots throughout
Missouri. Current FIA precision standards for
annual inventories require a sampling intensity
of one plot for approximately every 6,000 acres.
FIA has divided the entire area of the United
States into nonoverlapping hexagons, each of
which contains 5,937 acres (McRoberts 1999).
An array of field plots was established by selecting one plot from each hexagon based on the following rules: (1) if a Forest Health Monitoring
(FHM) plot (Mangold 1998) fell within a hexagon, it was selected; (2) if no FHM plot fell within a hexagon, the existing NCFIA plot from the
most recent periodic inventory nearest the hexagon center was selected; and (3) if neither FHM
nor existing NCFIA plots fell within the hexagon,
a new NCFIA plot was established in the hexagon (McRoberts 1999). This array of plots is designated the Federal base sample and is considered an equal probability sample; its measurement is funded by the Federal government. The
State of Missouri and the Mark Twain National
Forest provided additional funds to increase the
sampling intensity in some portions of the State.
The 2000-2004 annual inventories collected data
from 9,598 phase 2 field plots, of which 3,822
contained forest land.
The total Federal base sample was systematically
divided into five interpenetrating, nonoverlapping subsamples or panels. Plots selected for
intensification are similarly divided into panels.
Each year, the plots in a single panel are measured, and panels are selected on a 5-year, rotating basis (McRoberts 1999). For estimation purposes, the measurement of each panel of plots
may be considered an independent systematic
sample of all land in a State. Field crews measure
vegetation on plots forested at the time of the last
inventory and on plots currently classified as forest by trained photointerpreters using aerial photos or digital orthoquads.
Phase 3
NCFIA has two categories of field plot measurements—phase 2 field plots (standard FIA plots)
and phase 3 plots (forest health plots). Both types
of plot are uniformly distributed both geographically and temporally. Phase 3 plots are measured
with the full suite of FHM vegetative and health
variables (Mangold 1998) collected as well as the
full suite of measures associated with phase 2
plots. Phase 3 plots must be measured between
June 1 and August 30 to accommodate the additional measurement of nonwoody understory
vegetation, ground cover, soils, and other variables. The five panels of measurements that make
up this inventory in Missouri include 462 phase
3 plots. Of these phase 3 plots, 179 contained
forest land.
The new national FIA plot configuration (fig. 8)
was first used for data collection in Missouri in
1999, the first annual inventory year. This configuration will be used in subsequent years. The
national plot configuration requires mapping forest conditions on each plot.
The overall plot layout for the new configuration
consists of four subplots. The centers of subplots
2, 3, and 4 are located 120 feet from the center
of subplot 1. The azimuths to subplots 2, 3, and
4 are 0, 120, and 240 degrees, respectively, from
the center of subplot 1. The center of the new
plot is located at the same point as the center of
the previous plot if a previous plot existed at the
same location. Trees with a d.b.h. of 5 inches
and larger are measured on a 24-foot-radius
(1/24 acre) circular subplot. Trees with a d.b.h.
1 inch and larger but less than 5 inches are
Figure 8.—Current
NCFIA field plot
design.

measured on a 6.8-foot-radius (1/300 acre) circular microplot located 12 feet east of the center
of each of the four subplots. Seedlings (trees less
than 1 inch d.b.h. and at least 6 inches tall (softwood species) or 12 inches tall (hardwood
species) are counted but not individually measured on this same microplot. Forest conditions
that occur on any of the four subplots are
recorded. Factors that differentiate forest conditions are changes in forest type, stand-size class,
land use, ownership, and density. Each condition
that occurs anywhere on any of the subplots is
identified, described, and mapped if the area of
the condition meets or exceeds 1 acre in size.
