This report contains the findings of a 2007 canvass of all primary wood-using plants in Alabama, and presents changes in product output and residue use since 2005. It complements the Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) periodic inventory of volume and removals from the State's timberland. The canvass was conducted to determine the amount and source of wood receipts and annual timber product drain, by county, in 2007 and to determine interstate and cross-regional movement of industrial roundwood. Only primary wood-using mills were canvassed. Primary mills are those that process roundwood in log or bolt form or as chipped roundwood. Examples of industrial roundwood products are saw logs, pulpwood, veneer logs, poles, and logs used for composite board products. Mills producing products from residues generated at primary and secondary processors were not canvassed. Trees chipped in the woods were included in the estimate of timber drain only if they were delivered to a primary domestic manufacturer.
In 2007, roundwood output from Alabama's forests totaled 1.10 billion cubic feet. Mill byproducts generated from primary manufacturers amounted to 379 million cubic feet. Almost all plant residues were used primarily for fuel and fiber products. Pulpwood was the leading roundwood product at 574 million cubic feet; saw logs ranked second at 413 million cubic feet; veneer logs were third at 75 million cubic feet. The number of primary processing plants was 144. Total receipts amounted to 1.12 billion cubic feet.
In 1999, roundwood output from Alabamagass forests totaled 1.2 billion cubic feet. Mill byproducts generated from primary manufacturers amounted to 469 million cubic feet. Almost all plant residues were used primarily for fuel and fiber products. Pulpwood was the leading roundwood product at 641 million cubic feet; saw logs ranked second at 426 million cubic feet; veneer logs were third at 109 million cubic feet. The number of primary processing plants was 181. Total receipts amounted to 1.3 billion cubic feet.
In 1997, roundwood output from Alabama's forests totaled 1.3 billion cubic feet. Mill byproducts generated from primary manufacturers amounted to 477 million cubic feet. Almost all plant residues were used primarily for fuel and fiber products. Pulpwood was the leading roundwood product at 765 million cubic feet; saw logs ranked second at 450 million cubic feet; veneer logs were third at 93 million cubic feet. The number of primary processing plants was 210. Total receipts amounted to 1.4 billion cubic feet.
The Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) Research Work Unit of the USDA Forest Service developed the Timber Product Output (TPO) Database Retrieval System to help customers answer questions about timber harvesting and use in the Southern Region. This system acts as an interface to a standard set of consistently coded TPO data for each State and county in the region and Nation. This regional and national set of TPO data consists of 11 variables that describe for each county the roundwood products harvested, logging residues left in the woods, other timber removals (i.e. land clearing and reserved timber removals), and wood and bark residues generated by the county's primary wood-using mills. The system is available through the FIA Web site: http: //srsfia2.fs.fed.us/
