Tree Planting Overview – User needs BWG/FIA Meeting, Atlanta GA, May 21-22, 2013 John Paul McTague Rayonier Inc.
Seedling production from Auburn University is more revealing, albeit without acreage statistics
The Southern Forest Nursery Management Cooperative only had 71% response • Bareroot and container • Hardwood and conifer
Occasional studies, such as the SJAF 2002 26(2), don’t provide a continual perspective of tree planting
I like the annual update used in Brazil to quickly convey the current status and change of planted forests
Other university sites use the same data and help synthesize the information Price of forest land/ha Pine - price of cut and stacked large sawtimber
Useful data for industry • Nursery production by species and stock • FIA assumptions used for acreage computations (by state or physiographic region) • Genetic value of seedlings (generation, clonal, etc.) • Spatial distribution graphics • Export features that facilitate 3rd party use for economic analysis
