[Knowledge requirements group aimed at]: The Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV) wants to get insight into the development of supply and demand of timber from Dutch forests and from the borderland forests of Germany and Belgium. [Research objectives]: With insight into developments of supply and demand the ministry of LNV, the Dutch forest Management sector and the Dutch Timber sector can get insight into possible futural bottle-necks and chances related to supply (trees species, dimensions, qualities) and demand (species and products) of timber from the Dutch and borderland forests in the next 10-20 years. [Results and products]: Report, presentation, summary on Internet and journal article. In a Alterra report the developments in supply (based on model simulations) and demand of timber will be presented. Futural chances and bottle-necks related to supply and demand will be presented and discussed in the report also. Research results will be presented also for the OHH (a group of people working in the timber sector). When research results are promising, some articles for journals will be made. |
