Abstract

In 2003, roundwood output from Alabama’s forests totaled 1.08 billion cubic feet. Mill byproducts generated from primary manufacturers amounted to 410 million cubic feet. Almost all plant residues were used primarily for fuel and fiber products. Pulpwood was the leading roundwood product at 521 million cubic feet; saw logs ranked second at 404 million cubic feet; veneer logs were third at 107 million cubic feet. The number of primary processing plants was 178. Total receipts amounted to 1.1 billion cubic feet.
