In 1997, volume of roundwood output from Florida's forests totaled 517 million cubic feet, 2 percent less than in 1995. Mill byproducts generated from primary manufacturers remained stable at 162 million cubic feet. Almost all plant residues were used primarily for fuel and fiber products. Pulpwood was the leading roundwood product at 288 million cubic feet; saw logs ranked second at 162 million cubic feet; veneer logs were third at 30 million cubic feet. Total receipts declined 6 percent to 532 million cubic feet. The number of primary processing plants declined from 113 in 1995 to 101 in 1997.
In 1999, volume of roundwood output from Florida's forests totaled 499 million cubic feet, 4 percent less than in 1997. Mill byproducts generated from primary manufacturers decreased to 152 million cubic feet. Almost all plant residues were used primarily for fuel and fiber products. Pulpwood was the leading roundwood product at 261 million cubic feet; saw logs ranked second at 167 million cubic feet; veneer logs were third at 34 million cubic feet. Total receipts declined 7 percent to 494 million cubic feet. The number of primary processing plants declined from 101 in 1997 to 93 in 1999.
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/
Lumbermen and Log Sawyers examines the development of the north Florida lumber industry in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This book explores the social consequences of industrialization to determine how the north Florida experience fits into the larger pattern of regional and southern industrial development. The terms "life and labor" describe the chain of events accompanying the growth of the industry during this period. The events include rapid improvements in technology, concentrated land ownership, the formation of company towns, and the creation of a permanent wage-earning population.
