Stumpage price surveys and analysis in southern New England between 1988 and 1993 recorded data in a different way. Instead of collecting prices on a species basis (e.g., $100/Mbf for red oak, $45/Mbf for red maple), data were collected  on a lump sum basis, based on the predominant species in a sale. Categories during this time period for data were:

• Oak 90% or more (i.e., 90% of the total timber sale was oak)
• Oak 66 - 90% (i.e., between 66 and 90% of the volume of a timber sale was in oak)
• Mixed hardwoods: Maple, Beech, Birch
• White ash, Cherry
• Other hardwoods
• White pine
• Red pine
• Hemlock
• Spruce
• Fuelwood
• Pulp
