Abstract

Alabama forests supplied 718 million cubic feet of roundwood to forest industries during 1971. Softwoods, mainly pine, made up over seven-tenths of the total. In terms of volume harvested, pulpwood was the leading product, with saw logs second. The two combined accounted for 91 percent of the roundwood produced. These are some of the major findings of a 1971 canvass of all primary forest industries using wood from Alabama.
