Abstract
The United States and the world have undergone immense economic, social, and economic change over the 10 years since the last Resources Planning Act (RPA) Assessment, all of which have impacts on production and consumption of forest products. This chapter describes recent trends in global and U.S. forest product consumption, production, and net trade and also explores economic projections of production, consumption, net trade, timber harvest levels, and timber prices, as influenced by four future scenarios regarding economic and population growth and changing biomass energy demand through 2070.
