Abstract

The total output of industrial timber products in Georgia amounted to almost 986 million cubic feet in 1974, 7 percent more than in 1971. Production of all major roundwood products and plant byproducts from softwood and hardwood species increased. Of the five Forest survey Regions in the State, the Southeast Region had the largest total output, the Southwest Region had the greatest percentage increase, and the Central Region had the greatest volume increase. The volume of unused plant residues produced in the state declined by 38 percent between 1971 and 1974, and the volume of unused bark dropped by 85 percent
