Wood and wood products on the world to the year 2000

The demands for wood and wood products to the year 2000 should be enormously increasing. There is an amount of 3.800 million m3, it makes threefold as in the year 1950. Remarkably would be changed the structure of wood products in industrial roundwoods. lt should come nearly to the equalization between raw logs and veneer logs with roundwood for pulp and chips. Enormously therefore might increase the paper and particleboard industries. The supply with the needed roundwood could be only satisfied, when the annual gross increments of the forests in use could meet the cuttings. On the contrary unfortunately the needed biologycal basis of supply should be diminished.
