Abstract

Michigan's aspen resource has come under increased pressure in the last decade. USDA Forest Service survey and output data and Michigan Department of Natural Resources stumpage price and industry data were compiled and analyzed to determine the current and possible future state of the resource. Significant declines in acreage of 20- to 40-year-old aspen type were found. Analysis of real prices for aspen pulpwood showed significant increases for the decade 1978-1988. North. J. Appl. For. 9(1):10-14.
