Seedling production from Auburn University is more revealing, albeit without acreage statistics

• Bareroot and container• Hardwood and conifer
Other groups augment some information
Occasional studies, such as the SJAF 2002 26(2), don’t provide a continual perspective of tree planting
I like the annual update used in Brazil to quickly convey the current status and change of planted forests
Yearly changes by state and species in hectares
Other university sites use the same data and help synthesize the information
Price of forest land/ha
Pine - price of cut and stacked large sawtimber
Useful data for industry
Nursery production by species and stock FIA assumptions used for acreage
computations (by state or physiographic region)
Genetic value of seedlings (generation, clonal, etc.)
Spatial distribution graphics Export features that facilitate 3rd party use
