Notes: 1987 data for National Forests in Oregon and Washington were underreported in several forest types and stand-size classes and may not be reliable for regional trend analysis. Native American lands are included exclusively in the Nonindustrial Private owner group for 1997; for earlier years, these lands may be included in the Other Public owner group. Totals may not agree with sum of components due to independent rounding.
