A.
Rationale for use of the indicator
1.
Rationale from the Technical Advisor Committee (TAC)
This indicator measures the size and economic health of the wood products sector by identifying trends in the value and volume of wood and wood products production and allowing comparison of those trends against management objectives.
The ability to measure and provide support for sustainable forest management depends on the recognition of the full range of socioeconomic products derived from the forest, the value that local people place on these products, and the economic benefits and environmental costs of resource development. Some of the most direct and substantial socioeconomic contributions come from extractive activities, such as timber harvesting.
Approaches to measurement. Data that may be of use in measuring this indicator include the following:
• Volume and value of wood products both in the forest, at the mill or, if appropriate, at the wholesale market level.
•
Value of exports, measured FOB (Free on Board).
• Volume and value of domestic production that substitutes for imports.
• Gross value of product and value added (profitability) downstream.
• Total gross benefits to society as measured by the sum of total expenditures on wood products and consumer surplus.
Value added should be calculated within each nation, although additional value may be added outside the nation where wood products export occurs.
Data for this indicator may be provided by the following:
• Government agencies and industry sources.
• Methods that calculate value added at a national level.
• Estimating the wood traded outside formal market or consumed directly.

2.
Interpretation of the indicator as proposed by the TAC
The total value of wood products for a reporting period is the aggregate of the value added at each point in the chain of production. Each period’s measurement is susceptible to change from a number of possible sources. Value of wood products may fluctuate because of changes in general economic conditions or societal preferences. Interpretation of aggregate values and trends is based on the knowledge of the economic, social , and management environment, as measured in other indicators, at and preceding the time of measurement, and should be related to national objectives for supply or value adding in the wood and wood products sector.
Data should also be interpreted relative to national objectives for supply or value adding in the wood and wood products sector.
3.
U.S. Clarification from the Roundtable Workshops
The measurements suggested for the indicator do not measure economic health of the wood products sector. Additional information would be needed on prices, profits, employment, and other variables in addition to output. The Rationale should be rewritten to address this omission. While the TAC Rationale and Interpretation notes imply that there is a national supply (management) objective in the wood and wood products sector, there is no existing quantitative or qualitative national objective.
B. Data provided to quantify the indicator
The data provided for this indicator focuses on timber and wood products production volume, value, and value added, and an indicator of sector health, industry profitability. Selected data is shown over time, by
RPA Assessment Region, by land ownership, and by type of product produced.
Volume and value of production can be illustrated in several dimensions:
by market level – o production of roundwood (harvest) or production of primary products; o roundwood and primary products are sold for domestic use or for exports.
by region; and
over time.
We show a representative subset of available data that characterize volume and value in each of these dimensions.
The intent is to show data about production that may be compared to other indictors that characterize the capacity of forests to produce wood products (e.g., growth rates, management intensity), and efforts to maintain and enhance that productive capacity of forests and forest industries (e.g., investments, research, institutions). Where available projections are shown from the 5 th RPA Timber Assessment (Haynes, forthcoming) prepared by the Forest Service.
To illustrate the size and economic health of forest industries variables are shown that are available at least at the national, many times regional level, and are long-term time series that are continuing to be collected.

How should the data be interpreted relative to the rationale from the TAC
The variables on volume or weight of production meet the intent of the rational to indicate one aspect of the size of timber and forest products sectors over time and by region. They also indicate an aspect of economic health of forest management, and for forest industries to the extent that timber harvest is needed to provide income to support forest management, and roundwood is needed for production of the industries.
Note that Tables 1 and 11 show roundwood harvested from U.S. forests for products and energy. This includes both growing stock volume (used to measure timber inventory) and nongrowing stock volume.
Tables 2 through 4 shows growing stock volume removed from forests, which excludes nongrowing stock volume but does include growing stock cut down that may remain in forests as logging residue. The reason that growing stock removals are shown in Tables 2 through 4 is to allow comparison to growing stock growth and growing stock inventory to be show in other indicators.
Volume of production data (harvest) is shown by species group, RPA region, and ownership over time and per acre of timber land to allow comparison to (1) other indicators that characterize capacity of forests to produce timber products (e.g., areas by forest type, management intensity, growth rates, age class distribution), and (2) efforts to maintain and enhance that productive capacity of forests and forest industries (e.g., investments, research, institutions).
4

Weight of production of primary wood products and exports of logs, chips and recovered paper is shown to (1) indicate the relative size of various components of primary product production, and to (2) indicate the size of raw log and recovered paper exports compared to primary products production. They are intended as a partial answer the question “How important, in weight terms, are different components of production in supporting forest management, and supporting the economic health of forest industries.”
Energy production from wood is shown to indicate that it is a source of value that supports forest management and forest industries. Wood energy includes use of roundwood for burning, primarily by households of home heating, use of wood and bark residue from primary product manufacturing, and use of pulp liquor for burning. The roundwood equivalent of wood energy gives a rough indication of the amount of wood that is burned.
The variables on value of production meet the intent of the rational by showing the size of selected forest sector industries – industries that make solidwood, panels, paper, and furniture. They may overstate the value intended by the indicator to the extent that they include the value of all products produced by these industries even though they also produce some nonwood products.
The variables on value added, and after tax profit as a percent of shipments meet, to a limited degree, the intent of the indicator to measure economic health of the forest sector. Ability to add value and profitability for forest sector industries would be a necessary condition to maintain the industries and may be needed to support continued forest management activities. But they may not be sufficient economic conditions to provide all aspects needed for balanced forest management, or continued health of the industries in the long run. Other factors influencing continued economic health of the industry could include competition with overseas sources of forest products, competition with domestic or overseas substitutes for forest products, and institutions, policies, and investments that influence competitiveness.
The TAC notes ask for a measurement of “Volume and value of domestic production that substitutes for imports.” We show an estimate of the roundwood equivalent of imported products. This is an estimate of the harvest needed if products were made using roundwood in the United States. We do not have an estimate of the value of such products if they were produced in the United States, but the value of imported products may be an indicator of the value.
Since the United States does not have national goals for production of forest products it is not possible to meet the intent of the indicator to compare actual levels of production and value-added to the national objectives for supply or value adding in the wood and wood products sector.
D.
Limitations of data presented.
Data presented on value and value added for products are for industry sectors in total and not just for wood and paper products.
Data on value of timber harvested is not shown. Value of timber can be estimated but would not be based on the same type of comprehensive national survey as for industries.
Data on value and value added for industry production are available down to the State level for recent years. See http://www.census.gov/prod/www/abs/97ecmani.html
.
After tax profits are shown as a percentage of industry shipments but the profits would be derived from industry sales for a given year. The profit as a percentage of sales would be somewhat different to the
5

extent that sales were more or less than shipments. Long-run trends in the two percentages would be similar.
E.
If current data is not adequate to measure the indicator, what options are available for remedy?
Data is not presented on the value of timber harvest for the United States. Although estimates may be made using representative prices from various regions, there are no consistent comprehensive data sets for continuing estimates. Local and regional timber prices are now provided by a mixture of private reporting services for some regions, State agencies selling timber, and Federal agencies selling timber. An estimation protocol may be developed using these sources on the assumption that comparable data would be available in the future.
III. Cross-cutting issues/relationships with other indicators
Data from this indicator is being constructed to be consistent with indicators on consumption (31), GDP contribution (32), recycling (33), employment (44), and injury rates (45) by using consistent data sources and data categories to allow comparisons.
Data on production in terms of growing stock removals is provided to allow comparison to growing stock growth and growing stock inventory in other indicators.
