Description:

Abstract:

These data are projections, 1995-2040, of timber growth, removals, and inventory, by species, by year, by Forest Inventory and Analysis Survey Unit (or by Ecoregion), by projection scenario, developed using the Subregional Timber Supply Model.

Purpose:

To project harvesting, growth, and timber volume in the South for the Southern Forest Resource Assessment.
