Description

Sustainable forest management practices have become increasingly important given the worldwide increase in demand for planted forest resources. In this paper, I review changes in forest resources in the Asian region and analyze the relationship between forest resources and the development of wood manufacturing industries in China and South Korea. I found that (1) planted forest areas increased in China, Vietnam, and South Korea from 1990 to 2005, contributing to an overall increase in forest areas in this region; (2) China has been a net exporter of plywood and fiberboard since 2001 and 2005, respectively, and these wood manufacturing industries have been developed using wood products from planted forests; and (3) the use of planted forest resources in South Korea has contributed to the development of the particle board and fiberboard industries in that country. The development of wood manufacturing industries in China and South Korea and the promotion of traceability in the timber trade will increase future demand for planted forest resources. To meet this demand, sustainable forest management practices must be promoted under a zoning scheme that incorporates the use of both planted and natural forest resources.
