This publication provides current and historical information on primary and secondary hardwood product production, prices, international trade, and employment.

Adequately predicting the sampling errors of tabular data can reduce printing costs by eliminating the need to publish separate sampling error tables. Two generalized variance functions (GVFs) found in the literature and three GVFs derived for this study were evaluated for their ability to predict the sampling error of tabular forestry estimates. The recommended GVFs for most tables are either a GVF which incorporated the sampling errors of the row and column totals or a nonlinear GVF when the sampling errors are not published. Tables composed with one sampling intensity and containing...

Evaluates timber output of Delaware. Results are based on a survey of the primary processing mills located in the state, and on mills in other states that used wood from Delaware. Contains statistics on industrial timber production and mill receipts, number of sawmills and lumber production, and the production and final end use of manufacturing residues. Comparisons are made between historical and current data, and trends in industrial wood output are noted. Contains graphics and statistical tables.

This annual report contains 1989 information compiled from a canvass of all pulpmills that use pulpwood produced in the 14 Northeastern states. Contains data about pulpwood production and consumption from roundwood by county and species groups, and pulpwood chip production from manufacturing residues by state. Comparisons are made with the previous year's data. Trends in pulpwood production are shown graphically.

A modified Richards growth model is used to develop species-specific coefficients for equations estimating the merchantable sawlog and bole lengths of trees from 25 species groups common to the Northeastern United States. These regression coefficients have been incorporated into the growth-and-yield simulation software, NE-TWIGS.

To assess the impact of grocery pallet production on future hardwood resources, better information is needed on the current use of reusable pallets by the grocery and related products industry. A spatial model of pallet use in the grocery distribution system that identifies the locational aspects of grocery pallet production and distribution, determines how these aspects influence the demand and supply of grocery pallets, and assesses the overall impact of grocery pallet consumption on the forest resource is described. Also presented is a method for estimating the overall quantity of new...

Explains how earlier estimates of hardwood-lumber exports were in error, discusses the procedures used to develop a new set of hardwood-lumber export estimates, and presents a detailed set of new hardwood-lumber export estimates for European and Asian markets.

Describes socioeconomic characteristics of residents of northern New Hampshire and northeastern Vermont; their level of participation in outdoor recreational activities; perceptions of community problems; and attitudes concerning local versus regional planning, public ownership of northern forest lands, and other pertinent issues with respect to changes in patterns of land ownership that are potentially significant. Responses by state and by size of respondents' communites are compared.
