Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, the first of a multi-year project, is an invaluable cross-section of a critical juncture in the history of forestry in the United States. Its significance lies in the comprehensive survey of national forests in Alaska and their potential for development into a timber industry that will meet the needs of a growing nation. Forests in Alaska cover millions of acres, yet only a fraction is harvested each year. Alaskan timber is uniquely positioned to become a major provider of pulp and paper to the United States, which currently imports nearly 80 percent of its supply from Canada. The book brings together the work of multiple teams of experts from the Forest Service and industry, exploring the potential of Alaskan forests, as well as the challenges and opportunities for the development of the timber industry in the region. Economic, ecological, and logistical factors are investigated, setting the stage for future research and preparation for an industry that can support growing national needs for wood products while maintaining the health of Alaskan forests.
