Pulpwood Production in the Northern Region, 2008.

摘要

In 2008, pulpwood production increased by 5 and 1 percent in the Lake States and New England States, respectively. In contrast, pulpwood production decreased by 3, 4, and 10 percent in the Mid-Atlantic, Plains, and Central States, respectively. In the Northern Region, pulpwood production from roundwood increased by 4 percent and pulpwood production from mill residues decreased by nearly 8 percent. Pulpwood production for use by pulp mills increased by only 1 percent while pulpwood production for use by composite product mills decreased by 10 percent. The downturn in the pulp and composite product industry led to the idling or closing of five mills in 2007, five mills in 2008, and three mills in 2009.
