The Forest Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture is dedicated to the principle of multiple use management of the Nation’s forest resources for sustained

yields of wood, water, forage, wildlife, and recreation. Through forestry research,

cooperation with the States and private forest owners, and management of the

national forests and national grasslands, it strives—as directed by Congress—to

provide increasingly greater service to a growing Nation.

This publication provides estimates of total softwood and hardwood harvests

by region and owner for the United States from 1950 to 2002. These data are

generally not available in a consistent fashion and have to be estimated from

state-level data, forest resource inventory statistics, and production of forest

products. This publication describes the estimation process and documents

the various assumptions. These estimates have been used for the past three

decades in the periodic USDA Forest Service timber assessments.

Estimated Timber Harvest by U.S. Region and Ownership, 1950-2002

Introduction

Data on timber harvest are fundamental to analyses of timber resource use and

timber markets. In simpler resource studies or discussions of sustainability, for

example, it is customary to compare harvest and growth as a gauge of “resource sufficiency” and to explain recent inventory trends. In more complex

studies, harvest data are the basis for empirical modeling of timber supply

behavior. With the exception of a few states, harvest data are generally not

available for most U.S. regions or owners except in the periodic USDA Forest

Service timber assessments and forest resource inventory reviews (Powell et al.

1993; Smith et al. 2001, 2004; USDA FS 1958, 1965, 1974, 1982; Waddell et

al. 1989). This document reports the results of efforts to generate historical

annual estimates of total timber harvest by U.S. region and ownership as part

of the Forest Service’s 2000 timber assessment update process (Haynes 2003).

U.S. Timber harvests have increased by nearly one-third over the past 50

years. The following sections describe the methods used to obtain harvest

estimates, display some of the primary results from the estimation process for

nine forest service assessment regions and four owner classes, and illustrate

the results in a series of tables and graphs included in the main paper and the

appendix. Estimates cover the period from 1950 to 2002, and the data and

methods described here are documented in a set of Excel1

 spreadsheet files

available from the Pacific Northwest Research Station.2

 These spreadsheets,

called TCUT, have been used for the past two decades to construct estimates

of timber harvest in the United States.

Most of the data are displayed as tables (3 through 19) in the appendix in

this document. Some of these data have been published in earlier reports on

the data used to estimate various relations used in the timber assessments

(Adams et al. 1979, 1988), but this is the first time the estimation process has

been documented.

Definitions and Methods

In this analysis, “timber harvest” refers specifically to the narrower term

roundwood supply: the total volume of wood removed from a forest site for

the purposes of conversion to products or direct use by consumers from both

growing stock and “non-growing stock” sources.3 Estimates in this document

include saw and veneer logs for domestic processing; logs of all types for

export; logs for conversion to miscellaneous products;4

 pulpwood and logs for

use in pulping and reconstituted panels; and fuelwood. Estimates do not

include timber cut but not removed from the site for use, timber excluded from

inventory accounting owing to change in land use designation, or logging

residues. Note that supply estimates are for volumes harvested arising from

any forest land, not just timberland,5

 that are used as forest products.

The data are divided into the nine regions shown in figure 1. These

regions are the same as the “Assessment” regions used in the Forest Service’s

decennial renewable resource assessments. Note that the regions only include

the contiguous states.

Four ownership categories are used for calculating total regional timber

harvest: (1) forest industry including all private land held by owners who are

engaged in the processing of logs and timber into products of some type, (2)

nonindustrial private comprising all remaining private lands not integrated to

some form of forest products processing, (3) national forest, and (4) other

government constituting all other lands held by government agencies at any

level, including those administered by Native American groups and the

Bureau of Indian Affairs. Note that as a result of recent changes in inventory

conventions, Native American lands are commonly included in the nonindustrial private group. We employ the earlier convention of including these lands

with “other government” to allow the construction of the longest possible

historical series.

The basic approach to supply estimation is to use regional reports of

product output volumes and convert them to their roundwood or log equivalents, then apportion these regional volumes to owners. Methods differ slightly

for softwoods and hardwoods and are explained in detail below. The main

differences are based on the various forms of regional data available for

hardwoods and softwoods.

3

 Growing stock is a classification of timber inventory that includes live trees of commercial

species meeting specific standards of vigor and quality. Cull trees are excluded. When

associated with volume, only trees 5.0 in diameter at breast height (d.b.h.) and larger are

included.

4

 Miscellaneous products include posts, poles, pilings, shingles, etc.

5

 Forest land is at least 10 percent stocked by forest trees of any size, including land that

formerly had such tree cover and that will be naturally or artificially regenerated, and includes

transition zones and afforested areas. Timberland is defined as forest land that is producing or

capable of producing crops of industrial wood in excess of 20 ft3

 per acre per year and not

withdrawn from timber use by statute or administrative regulation.

Softwoods

Supply estimates begin with the volumes of product outputs (lumber, plywood, etc.). Data for the most important products are generally available by

year on a regional or state basis for the entire United States. Output data are

assembled for lumber (including ties), plywood, pulpwood (this includes use

for both pulping and oriented strand board [OSB]), miscellaneous products,

fuelwood, and log trade. Product categories, volume units by softwood or

hardwood, and notes on data sources are listed in table 1. Miscellaneous

products and fuelwood output were only available on a national level. For

these products, estimates of regional output were obtained from the “timber

products output” tables in past timber assessments and resource summaries

for 1952, 1962, 1970, 1976, 1986, 1991, 1996, and 2001 (Powell et al. 1993;

Smith et al. 2001, 2004; USDA FS 1958, 1965, 1974, 1982; Waddell et al.

1989). Estimates for gaps between these years, and the years prior to 1952,

were approximated by using linear interpolation.

Because the product output data are listed in various metrics (board feet,

square feet, cords, etc.), the quantities were converted to standard roundwood

equivalents (in million cubic feet) from units noted in table 1. These units are

shown in appendix tables 3a through 3c. The conversion factors for lumber

and plywood differ by region and vary over time, whereas those for pulpwood

only differ by region. The softwood saw-log trade conversion factors do not

vary over time or region. The historical values of the “cubic recovery factors”

used for lumber and plywood are derived from other parts of the assessment

database. The values are estimates of log volumes required to produce one

unit of product (board-foot lumber tally or square foot, 3/8 in, plywood).

Values listed in appendix tables 3a through 3c represent regional averages

and vary over time reflecting changes in technology and the mix of processing

techniques used in the regions. The “cubic foot per cord” conversions were

also derived from past assessment studies. Conversions for log trade involve

the translation of board feet log rule volumes to cubic feet volumes. These

conversion factors are quite sensitive to average diameter of logs processed,

but in this case where there is an absence of data on log dimensions, we

assume a constant conversion at a judgment based “typical” log diameter. A

more detailed explanation and discussion of these conversions and the conversion process in general is given in Haynes (1990: app. B). The original product output data were multiplied by these conversion factors and the resulting

total softwood roundwood supply, differentiated by product and region, is

displayed in appendix table 6.

The total regional log volumes are allocated across ownerships by using

estimates of ownership proportions. Development and application of these

proportions vary by geographic region and are discussed below. The regional

log volumes of softwood harvested by national forest, other government,

forest industry, and nonindustrial owners, are listed in appendix tables 7

through10.

Western Region

Harvest volumes from the national forests were derived from timber harvest

reports of the agency by forest and state for the Pacific Northwest West

(PNWW), Pacific Northwest East (PNWE), Pacific Southwest (PSW), Northern

Rocky Mountain (NR), and Southern Rocky Mountain (SR) regions. These

reports are generally titled “Timber Cut and Sold from National Forests in

Region X” and are issued for both calendar and federal fiscal year (OctoberSeptember). The TCUT spreadsheets used the total convertible harvest volumes including sawtimber, pulpwood, fuelwood, and other products permitting volumetric measurement. Over the period 1950-2002, these volumes were

reported in units of board feet, Scribner log rule. The regional scaling conversions listed in appendix table 4, titled “National forest board feet/cubic feet

conversions for Western regions,” were used to transform the Scribner to cubic

log scale. The resulting cubic-foot volumes were then taken directly as national forest roundwood supplies, and are shown in appendix table 7.

For Oregon, Washington, California, Idaho, and Montana (corresponding

to the PNWW, PNWE, PSW, and NR regions), annual estimates of timber

harvest by owner are available from reports prepared by state and federal

agencies.6

 The bases of data in these reports vary over the period since 1950.

In earlier years, private volumes were generally reported by logging contractors or landowners in the process of obtaining timber harvest permits, thus, in

advance of, or as much as a year after, actual cutting. In later years, some of

the states shifted to a yield tax system, and harvest volumes were derived from

the tax reporting system with varying standards of merchantability. In light of

this variability, and for consistency with estimates in the Eastern regions, these

harvest reports were used only to derive the proportions of nonnational forest

harvest attributable to the industrial, nonindustrial, and other government

owners. A summary of the fraction of the regional total cut by owner group is

shown in appendix table 5.

Two major problems were encountered, however, in applying the state

harvest reports in this fashion. First, there are, in some cases, missing years

in the state data series. These were filled by linear interpolations between

adjacent data points. Second, in all of the state reports, the private ownership

category is not differentiated further by forest industry and nonindustrial

private categories prior to the mid-1960s. In these instances, we supplemented

the state data with estimates of harvest by owner derived from timber assessment documents or other reports and studies relating to timber harvest. Data

for the western regions include 1952, 1962, 1970, and 1976. Estimates for

gaps between these years, between these and the earliest available state estimates, and the years prior to 1952 were filled by using linear interpolation.

No state reports were available for the SR region. In this case, the timber

assessment resource summary harvest estimates by owner were used for 1952,

1962, 1970, 1976, 1986, 1991, 1996, and 2001. The gaps between these

years and the years prior to 1952 were approximated by using linear interpolation. The resulting fractions were then applied to the difference between total

regional harvest and national forest supply to estimate the harvest volumes for

the nonnational forest owner classes. These results are listed in appendix

tables 8 through 10. A diagram explaining how the original product outputs

are converted to regional total harvests by landowner with a specific application to the PNWW for 2002 is displayed in figure 2.

Eastern Region

The states east of the Rockies lack consistent harvest reports by ownership.

As a result, we had to employ essentially the same method used for the SR

in these regions. Difficulties arose in obtaining calendar year national forest

harvest data for all but the most recent years, and therefore we used the timber

assessment and resource summary harvest estimates (1952, 1962, 1970, 1976,

1986, 1991, 1996, and 2001) to establish harvest proportions for all ownerships. We filled the gaps between these years, and approximated the years

prior to 1952, by using linear interpolation. The resulting total roundwood

supply estimates for the eastern regions are also displayed in appendix table 5.

Hardwoods

Because of the small volumes involved, the earlier years of the Western States

harvest reports often did not include data on hardwoods, and there are no

consistent harvest reports by ownership for the states east of the Rockies.

Consequently, we applied similar methods as in the case of the Eastern softwoods. Preliminary supply estimates were derived from the timber assessment

or resource summary harvest estimates for 1952, 1962, 1970, 1976, 1986,

1991, 1996, and 2001. The gaps between these years and the years prior to

1952 were approximated by using linear interpolation. These supply estimates

were then used to determine the annual percentage of total regional hardwood

harvests by owner group, shown in appendix table 11.

The conversion factors used for hardwoods were derived in a fashion

similar to that used to derive the softwood recovery factors and are listed in

appendix table 3c. The original output data, described in table 1, were multiplied by these regional conversion factors. Resulting total hardwood roundwood supply estimates are displayed in appendix table 12 and differentiated

by region and product in appendix table 13. The total roundwood supply

results are then multiplied by the regional percentage of total cut figures to

determine cut by ownership, listed in appendix tables 14 through 17.

Roundwood Supply by Product Category

Because the initial output data are differentiated by product, subsets of total

roundwood supply by product and owner can be derived from the basic

methods described above. The major assumption in this approach is that the

ownership proportions developed for total supply remain constant across

product categories or groupings. That is, if the national forest in the PNWE

only accounts for 12 percent of the total harvest amount for 2002, then the

assumption is that the national forest will also only account for 12 percent

each of the total sawtimber (saw and veneer logs, miscellaneous products,

and log trade) and nonsawtimber (pulpwood and fuelwood) harvested in that

region. Regional aggregates by product grouping and composite public and

private owner classes are shown in appendix tables 18 and 19.

Results and Analysis

To better understand how the timber supply today relates to that of the previous 50 years, it is useful to employ time trend analyses. These trends use the

functional form:
GENERAL TECHNICAL REPORT PNW-GTR-659

10

ln(HARVEST)t = ao + a1TIME (1)

where the dependent variable is the natural log of total harvest at time t, a0 is

a constant, a1

 is the slope of the trend line (rate of change of harvest divided

by rate of change of time), and TIME is the number of years since the start of

the sample (current year less t0 the date of the initial year). Trend lineswere

obtained for total harvest, softwood harvests only, hardwood harvest only,

public harvest only, and private harvest only. Estimation was conducted by

using ordinary least squares. The results of these estimates are listed in table 2.

Note that the initial period (t0) differs for the softwood and total harvests as

information for the hardwoods was only available for 1957 through 2002.

Plotting these trends against the actual data shows that production for the

most recent years, 2002, was below the trend line for all five harvest groups.

Growth in domestic log production has slowed over the last decade, and log

input requirements by processors are being met increasingly by imports. This

can be seen in figure 3, which shows the log trade gap7

 for total hardwood and

softwood harvests from 1951 to 2002. In 2002, the U.S. timber market experienced the smallest surplus in the timber trade since 1964, which was the last

time that there was a deficit. It is also interesting to note that in the trend line

estimates (table 2), all of the trends are upward sloping (a1 is positive) with the

exception of the total public harvest, which was influenced by the dramatic

decline in timber cut from national forests after 1990. The following pages

examine these trends in further detail looking at end products and supply

regions.

Figure 4 displays the breakdown of total softwood harvest by the product

in which the logs were consumed. Note that these log consumption volumes

include imported as well as domestic logs, because we are unable to determine

the specific product destination of imported logs. Net log trade (exports–

imports), which may assume negative values, is also shown on the chart. The

breakdown is shown only for assessment years as these were the only dates

with complete data that did not require explicit estimation or linear interpolation. Total log use in lumber and plywood has remained relatively stable since

1970. The plywood use peaked around 1987, totaling 1.5 billion ft3

 and has

subsequently declined to about half of that volume. Use of logs in miscellaneous products (e.g., poles, posts, etc.) has remained constant over time,

averaging 257 million ft3

 per year. Fuelwood supply was high in 1952 as it

 The trade gap is defined as saw-log exports + pulplog exports–saw-log imports–pulplog

imports, and is measured in million cubic feet per year.

was an important input for energy production, and also had peak production

in 1986 and 1991. Saw-log exports were greatest from 1970 to 1991, averaging 582 million ft3

 per year. As a result of a number of products having peak

production in 1986, this assessment year had the highest total softwood supply

for the United States, totaling approximately 11 billion ft3.

Figure 5 shows the product breakdown of total hardwood log consumption

for all assessment years. Log use in hardwood lumber and plywood production has been relatively stable over the last 40 years. Pulpwood production,

however, increased nearly twofold from 1976 to 1986 and has remained constant at 1.8 billion ft3

 per year since then. The use of hardwood fuelwood also

showed a large jump between 1976 and 1986, averaging 2.9 billion ft3 annually between 1986 and 1991, before a sharp decline in 1996 and 2001. The

production of OSB has steadily grown since its introduction in 1973, using

528 million ft3

 of pulpwood in 2001. Pulpwood and saw-log trade (exportimports) has run a deficit since 1970, with the highest deficit of over 340

million ft3 occurring in 1996. Total hardwood harvest peaked in 1991 at

approximately 7.6 billion ft3

, when fuelwood accounted for nearly 40 percent of the total supply.

Summing the total hardwood and softwood supply for the assessment

years, we see that the peak harvest for all timber products occurred in 1991,

Figure 5—Total hardwood cut, by product, for selected assessment years.

totaling 18.7 billion ft3, which was fueled by record production of pulpwood

and fuelwood (fig. 6). Total harvest has slowly declined since then, which was

apparent in our trend analysis that showed all four owner types well below the

trend line in 2002. Total harvest broken down by end product for all the

assessment years is shown in figure 6.

Figure 7 shows the total harvest of timber (both hardwood and softwood)

from public lands by supply region. Nearly all regions have experienced

reductions in public harvests over the last decade. The region that has experienced the largest decline is the PNWW, which was subject to logging restrictions imposed on old-growth forests as a result of the listing of the northern

spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) as an endangered species. Other

regions have since experienced declines as a result of the Forest Service

reducing its role in the timber market and placing more emphasis on resource

protection and environmental sustainability. This can be confirmed by looking

at figure 8, which shows that the percentage of total harvests by owner for the

national forest was the lowest in 2002, with less than 3 percent of total U.S.

harvest.

Figure 9 displays the total private harvest by region from 1957 to 2002 by

supply region. Harvests have declined slightly since peaking in 1992, but not

nearly as dramatically as the case of the public forests. Harvests from private

lands appear to be expanding mostly in the South, with other regions maintaining a relatively steady supply over the last 40 years. A look at the percentage of total cut by owner indicates that nonindustrial private forests are historically the largest suppliers of timber, producing about 50 to 60 percent of the

total cut.

The total softwood harvest by region from 1950 to 2002 is shown in

figure 10. Softwood harvests have expanded on private lands in the South and

declined in the West, with the greatest decline on federal lands in the PNWW

region. On a regional basis, the concentration of harvest has shifted from the

West to the South, most likely as a result of the restrictions on logging on

federal lands in western Oregon and Washington. As a result of this shift,

timber harvest has shifted from public lands to privately owned forests.

Figure 11 displays total hardwood harvest by region. Hardwood production peaked in 1992 and has slowly declined for the last 10 years. Reductions

have occurred mostly in the North. The logging restrictions on the national

forests have had a minimal effect on the total hardwood supply in the United

States as there is relatively little hardwood harvest on public or private lands in

the Western regions.

Figure 12 displays the total of all species harvest by region. U.S. timber

harvest peaked in 1989 at 18.8 billion ft3

 and has slowly declined for the last

15 years. Production has declined in all Western regions and in the North,

whereas most of the expansion in the U.S. timber industry has occurred in the

South owing to increases in supply from nonindustrial private forests and fastgrowing tree plantations. Growth in hardwood harvests for lower value products has kept harvests up in the Northeast and North Central regions. The drop

in roundwood pulpwood consumption has contributed to the very recent

decrease in the eastern regions.
