I put the 'citation' tag on the statement,There is a growing body of evidence that paper production would be better served by growing herbaceous crops -- largely annuals, but also possibly perennials -- for paper fiber production, I feel that an assertion of this type could do with a reference.

I hope you'll forgive my fairly major revision of this page. I felt it could do with a rather more international perspective, with greater emphasis on plantation grown pulpwood which outside the northern hemisphere is the most rapidly expanding source, mostly because the tress grow about ten times faster, literally.
Also I removed the comment about herbaceous crops since I would argue that it is inaccurate. Certainly there is research being undertaken in this area, and there are examples of non-wood fibres being used in papermaking (there always have been), but it is a small niche and of limited commercial relevance.

Major edits
editI made many edits to this page to hopefully raise the grade from t start class to maybe a C or B class. I focused on types of pulpwood and its main uses and kept it mainly factual about pulpwood in general instead of focussing on certain regions and countries. Sam ERTH (talk) 21:54, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
