Abstract

Reviews the nature and history of Missouri forests, private and public, and considers the status and prospects for ecological, watershed, and socioeconomic sustainability, and sustainable balance among timber growth, non-timber resources, harvest, and consumption. Discusses sustainable silviculture, including Pioneer Forest, and trends in demands, citizen attitudes, and policy development, with a case study on chip mills.
