Market prospects for Acadian forest products in the context of future energy availability
2005
Salonius, P.
As the peak of non-renewable energy production passes during the next forest rotation it is expected that markets, which have recently been driven by pulp and paper and dimension lumber exports, will shrink due to a general decrease in the affluence of the customer base and attrition in its numbers. An expected increase in demand for forest biomass fuels should begin to influence present silvicultural investment decisions now. Emphasis on the production of softwood fibre for commodity markets should yield to emphasis on the restoration of diverse Acadian temperate forest species assemblages. Means of encouraging a shift in harvesting practices in advance of changes in market demand are discussed.
