' Volumes are in net board-feet log scale, International M-inch rule. Tim- 

 ber cut refers to net inventory volume cut or killed in logging and converted 

 to timber products or left as logging residues. 



- The considerable excess of cut over growth for most western softwoods is 



not entirely due to overcutting. Growth is at a low level partly because 40 

 percent of the commercial forest area consists of old-growth timber which 

 contributes little to net annual growth. 

 ' Less than 0.5 million board-feet.
