Title:	Utilization of Southern Hardwoods
Author(s):	Koch, Peter
Date:	1978
Source:	In: Proc., Second Symposium on Southeastern Hardwoods: 17-39
Description:	During the rest of the century, hardwood supplies will likely be sufficient for the nation's rising needs for paper and for structural and architectural products; but sawlogs will be in short supply. Therefore, the products mix will incorportate increasing quantities of reconstituted and composite products. Using hardwoods on sites better suited to pine--the South's major utilization problem--will probably be solved by large-scale enterprises converting these low-quality hardwoods to various fiber and solid wood products. Some hardwood acreage may be intensively managed to yield fuel for generating electricity. Small private landholdings oculd be brought under intensive management by designing management systems that will provide increased remuneration to artisan-owners who manufacture some high-value product like furniture.
