2 million acres by 2060 (about 560,000 acres per year). Under this Cornerstone, 34% of forests would be planted pine in 2060. 8 million acres by 2060 (24% of forest area). The remaining Cornerstone Futures have projections that are intermediate to these results. 23 Forecasted forest area in the Southern United States by management type, 1952–2060, for (a) Cornerstone E, which is characterized by high urbanization, high timber prices, and more planting; and (b) Cornerstone F, which is characterized by low urbanization, low timber prices, and less planting.
Among the five southern subregions, the highest percentage loss of cropland would be in the Piedmont (28% under Cornerstone B and 51% under Cornerstone A), followed by large areas in the Coastal Plain and the Appalachian-Cumberland highlands. Pasture—The pattern of pasture losses across the Cornerstone Futures would be similar to forests, with the highest losses forecasted under Cornerstone B (about 7 million acres) and the lowest under Cornerstone C. Similar to the pattern of cropland forecasts, pasture area change is more heavily affected by timber price projections than by the economic growth forecasts.
