Análise espacial da produção madeireira nos anos de 2009 e 2018

The planted forest sector is important to Brazil's economy, one of the world's leading producers. The main products are roundwood, wood for charcoal, and firewood. Production shows spatial patterns. The study analyzed spatial aspects of wood production for firewood, roundwood, and charcoal in 2009 and 2018, using data from PEVS – IBGE. Exploratory spatial data analysis was used with Moran's I index. Results show production growth and positive spatial dependence for all variables. High/high clusters are related to regions with well-established production chains for pulp, charcoal, and agricultural production. Research suggests that large productive clusters of forestry are in major industrial hubs, meeting regional demand.
