This report presents Iowa's annual inventory results for 2005. Estimates show that Iowa has more than 2.8 million acres of forest land. Total live-tree volume on forest land is 4.0 billion cubic feet (ft3). Ninety-eight percent of forest land is classified as timberland. Oak/hickory is the predominant forest-type group, representing 54 percent of timberland area. Growing-stock volume has risen to an estimated 3.1 billion ft3. Livetree aboveground biomass is 112 million dry tons. In general, Iowa's forests are healthy. However, diseases, including white oak decline and Dutch elm disease, and the threat of invasion from exotic species such as emerald ash borer and nonnative plants are a concern when assessing the health of Iowa's forests.

Excerpt from Iowa's Forests, 1999-2003: Part A The demands placed on forest resources will continue to increase, as will biological threats from nonnative plants and insects. The challenge is to maintain Iowa's forests in such a way that they are available for use and enjoyment today and for future generations. Reporting on trends in the condition and status of forest resources is critical in determining whether they are being used or maintained in a sustainable way. The usda Forest Service's Forest Inventory and Analysis program in partnership with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources' Bureau of Forestry inventoried Iowa's forest resources in 1954, 1970, and 1990. Beginning in 1999, annual inventories were conducted such that a portion of field plots was inventoried each year.
