Abstract

In 2007, roundwood output from Alabamaâ€™s forests totaled 1.10 billion cubic feet. Mill byproducts generated from primary manufacturers amounted to 379 million cubic feet. Almost all plant residues were used primarily for fuel and fiber products. Pulpwood was the leading roundwood product at 574 million cubic feet; saw logs ranked second at 413 million cubic feet; veneer logs were third at 75 million cubic feet. The number of primary processing plants was 144. Total receipts amounted to 1.12 billion cubic feet.
