Abstract
Aspen is an important resource to the northern United States and in Quebec and Ontario. Roundwood use for pulp in the Lake States has remained stable at 2 million cords since 1981, while use for flakeboard has increased five-fold. Despite the near doubling of use in this decade, real stumpage prices for aspen have remained stable, and the mill delivered prices have declined. The pulp industry is less cost and supply sensitive than the flakeboard industries. Substitutions of other species will occur when aspen supply declines. Resource decisions in the future will be driven by both markets and politics.
