thinning, and inventory losses resulting from the diversion of timberland to other uses such as cropland, pastureland, parks, and urban uses. 
3 All projections at equilibrium prices, i.e., the stumpage prices at which projected timber demands and supplies are equal (see appendix table 4.1). Data 
are averages for 5 years centered on the projection year. 
* Data for 1952 and 1962 are as of December 31. Data for 1970 and all projection years are as of January 1. Data for 1976 and 1984 are as of January 1, 
1977, and January 1, 1985.
