木材供需矛盾尖锐,已成为当前一个突出的问题。现在,由于木材供应不足,已经严重影响到造纸等轻工行业的正常生产和基本建设的发展。一方面,随着四化建设的不断发展,社会主义经济建设所需的木材量会日益增加;另一方面,因不断采伐,可采的天然林资源会越来越少。所以,木材供应紧缺将是一个相当长时期内存在的严重问题。按理说,森林是一种可再生的资源,只要加强迹地更新造林和扩大荒山造林,并且搞好现有森林的抚育管理,森林面积是可以扩大的,林木蓄积量也是可以逐渐增加的。但是,由于过去林业工作中的重 The sharp contradiction between supply and demand of timber has become a prominent issue at present. Now, due to insufficient supply of timber, the normal production and capital construction of the light industry such as paper-making industry have been severely affected. On the one hand, with the continuous development of the four modernizations, the amount of timber needed for socialist economic construction will increase day by day. On the other hand, due to continuous logging, the recoverable natural forest resources will be less and less. Therefore, the shortage of timber supply will be a serious problem existing for a long time. Logically speaking, the forest is a renewable resource. As long as the reforested land is expanded and afforestation is expanded and the afforestation management of the existing forest is done well, the area of ​​forest can be expanded and the volume of forest can be gradually increased. However, due to the heavy weight of past forestry work
