Abstract

Statistics on forest land use indicate that, although the total acreage in forest is not changing greatly, the quality of the land available for forest production is decreasing. Forestry is also facing other interesting challenges. Population increases, projected increases in wood and paper consumption, and the recent upswing in woods labor problems have resulted in greater interest in the intensive management of forest land. More forest managers are looking closely at possibilities of using genetically improved species, mechanized harvesting, fertilization, irrigation, and other methods of intensive forest management as ways of meeting future raw material requirements.
