TY - JOUR AU - Skog, K.E. AB - Abstract For the past century, national assessments of supply-and-demand trends for timber have helped shape perceptions of future commodity consumption and have guided forest policy. Trends and projections since 1952 consistently have shown rising forest products consumption and changing sources of timber supplies. The current assessment envisions forest products consumption rising 42 percent by 2050 and marked shifts in the extent and location of domestic and imported supplies. Prospective shifts include a temporary near-term decline in US roundwood harvest and an increase in share of consumption from imports. economics, industry, sustainable forestry, environmental management, forest, forest management, forest resources, forestry, forestry research, forestry science, natural resources, natural resource management © 2002 Society of American Foresters TI - The Fifth Resources Planning Act Timber Assessment: A Critical Tool for Sound Stewardship JF - Journal of Forestry DO - 10.1093/jof/100.2.8 DA - 2002-03-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/the-fifth-resources-planning-act-timber-assessment-a-critical-tool-for-7dP0PViSRh SP - 8 EP - 12 VL - 100 IS - 2 DP - DeepDyve ER -
