We found no significant differences between UVA and non-UVA plots for all live trees (≥ 5-in. DBH) for trees/ac, basal area/ac, gross and net sawtimber volume, and gross and net growing stock volume. The same result held when we tested subsets of the data based on the most predominant forest types—northern hardwoods, white/red pine, and spruce/fir. Similarly, there were no significant differences between UVA and non-UVA plots for harvested trees and mortality for trees/ac, basal area/ac, and volume by the three forest types. However, on plots that were recently harvested (since the 1983 inventory) it was clear that UVA plots had significantly greater basal area and volumes prior to harvest. Analysis of weighted tree grade also indicated significantly higher grade for white pine on UVA plots. Differences in species composition, although not tested, did reveal greater numbers of trees of desirable species that could be the result of active forest management. We conclude that forestland enrolled in the UVA property tax program in Vermont shows evidence of purposeful forest management activity.
