Abstract

Projections of Alaska timber products output, the derived demand for raw material, and timber harvest by owner are developed from a trend-based analysis. By using a spread-sheet model, material flows in the Alaska forest sectorare fully accounted for. Demand for Alaska national forest timber is projected and depends on product output and harvest by other owners. Key assumptions are made explicit, and the sensitivity of the model output to changes in assumptions is examined.

Keywords

National forest (Alaska), forest sector models, dissolving pulp
