Results of the 2005 annual inventory of South Dakota show 1.7 million acres of forest land in the State. Timberland accounted for more than 90 percent of the forest land area. More than 70 percent of the timberland is publicly owned. Eighty percent (1.2 billion cubic feet) of the growing-stock volume on timberland came from ponderosa pine. All live aboveground tree biomass on timberland totaled 30.3 million dry tons. Major insect problems in South Dakota's forests were mountain pine beetle and the pine engraver beetle.
In this bulletin we discuss recent South Dakota forest industry trends and report the results of a detailed study of the forest industry, industrial roundwood production, and associated primary mill wood and bark residue in South Dakota in 2004. Such detailed information is necessary for intelligent planning and decisionmaking in wood procurement, forest resources management, and forest industry development. Likewise, researchers need current forest industry and industrial roundwood information for planning projects.
