Abstract

In 1995, volume of roundwood removed from Florida's forests totaled 527 million cubic feet, 2 percent more than in 1993. Mill byproducts generated from primary manufacturers declined 6 percent to 162 million cubic feet. Almost all plant residues were used, primarily for fuel and fiber products. Pulpwood was the leading roundwood product at 321 million cubic feet; saw logs ranked second at 153 million cubic feet; veneer logs were third with 26 million cubic feet. Total receipts increased 3 percent to 566 million cubic feet. The number of primary processing plants increased 113.
