Abstract

This article analyzes the impact of the expansion of forest plantations on the world forestry sector. The transition process from a resource-base to a science-base wood production system is described and the main factors conditioning actual wood production world wide are also identified. A simple analytical framework is used to analyze the potential contribution of intensive plantations and technical change to world wood supply and the conservation of forest resources.
