Old growth timber is the most valuable kind of timber for logging, and the ban shut down logging in the Northwest, put thousands of loggers out of work, and killed towns that depended on the logging industry. It added nearly 5,000 to the price of an average new home. 

OSB was developed explicitly as an alternative to plywood, at a time when that industry was faced with falling availability of modestly priced, large diameter logs for traditional construction plywood. OSB capacity has increased rapidly and now provides a competitive alternative to plywood sheathing over the timber frame of a North American house. While most OSB production is in North America, capacity is increasing elsewhere, particularly in Europe but also in South America. While initial growth was as a replacement for plywood, it has evolved to fill new market niches. 

Oriented Strandboard (OSB). Oriented strandboard (OSB) panels have been developed as an alternative to plywood in building construction. The emergence of OSB was driven in part by a decreased supply of large diameter logs suitable for veneer production, and by innovation and productivity changes in the North American wood products industry over the past few decades as well as the structural performance of OSB products, which are suitable for use in most plywood applications but at a much lower cost. In addition, OSB manufacture allows small, low grade timber resources to be processed into a marketable product. This effectively saves raw materials that are in short supply and promotes efficient utilization of wood (3,5,6). 

Tree plantations are not a natural ecosystem and they are, therefore, also sometimes known as man-made forests or tree farms. Tree plantations generally utilize fast-growing trees either to replace already logged forest trees or to substitute their absence. The plantations include hybrid trees or genetically modified trees. They involve trees of industrial importance, for example, pine, spruces, and eucalyptus, because of their fast growth rate and good properties for paper and timber production. Eucalyptus plantations have been developed vastly for the last 30 years in subtropical and tropical zones [66-68].
