' Volumes are in net cubic feet excluding bark. Timber cut refers to net 

 inventory volume cut or killed in logging and converted to timber products 

 or left as logging residues. 



2 The considerable excess of cut over growth in the Pacific Northwest and 

 California is not entirely due to overcutting. Growth is at a low level 



partly because a comparatively high proportion of the commercial forest 

 area consists of old-growth timber which contributes little to net annual 

 growth.
