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

 net inventory volume cut or killed in logging and converted to timber prod- 

 ucts or left as logging residues. 



2 Less than 0.5 million cubic feet. 



3 The considerable e.vccss of cut over growth for the principal softwoods in 

 the Pacific Xorthwest 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. 



< E-\cludes 4 million cubic feet net growth of ponderosa pine in the Plains 

 Region. Total net annual growth of ponderosa and Jeffrey pine in the 

 United States is 483 million cubic feet.
