Several industries operate in georgia's coastal plain region. one of the biggest industries is the timber industry. georgia has 24.8
million acres of forest, and 24.4 million acres of this forest is available as timberland, which is more than any other state. timberland
is forest that can be harvested for commercial use. timber has a variety of uses, including in construction, furniture production, and in
the paper manufacturing process. loblolly and slash pine grow relatively quickly as commercial trees, and the longleaf pine is one of
the most valuable commercial pine woods in the world. since pine timberland forests need 25 years of growth before they can be
harvested, timberland farmers in georgia grow 38% more trees annually than they harvest. this allows them to be able to
continuously harvest the mature trees.
georgia's second largest manufacturing employer is the forest-related industry. forest-related industries provide over 108,000 jobs
each year in georgia. the pulp and paper production industry produces $20 billion in revenue every year in georgia. every acre of
pine timberland is worth an average of $97 per year, and soil that is not suitable for the development of farmland is often very
productive as timberland. since georgia's unemployment rate is 8.7% in the coastal plain region, compared to the average
unemployment rate of 10%, this industry is important for the livelihood of the people living in this region.
there are some concerns about protecting the natural resources in the coastal plains region, however. georgia's protected forest lands
are worth an estimated $37 billion annually to georgia by remaining undeveloped. the forests provide clean water, carbon storage,
wildlife habitats, and recreation sites for many people. furthermore, as the pulp and paper industry expands, the fishing industry
decreases due to pollution caused by paper mills. despite these concerns, it is clear that georgia's coastal plain region is critical to the
economy of the entire state.

[1] nothing that comes from the desert expresses its extremes better than the unhappy growth of the tree yuccas. tormented, thin forests of it stalk drearily in the high mesas, particularly in that triangular slip that fans out eastward from the meeting of the sierras and coastwise hills. the yucca bristles with bayonet-pointed leaves, dull green, growing shaggy with age like an old [5] man's tangled gray beard, tipped with panicles of foul, greenish blooms. after its death, which is slow, the ghostly hollow network of its woody skeleton, with hardly power to rot, makes even the moonlight fearful. but it isn't always this way. before the yucca has come to flower, while yet its bloom is a luxurious, creamy, cone-shaped bud of the size of a small cabbage, full of sugary sap. the indians twist it deftly out of its fence of daggers and roast the prize for their [10] own delectation why does the author use the words "bayonet-pointed" (line 4) and "fence of daggers" (line 9) to describe the leaves of the yucca tree? . to create an image of the sharp edges of the plant to emphasize how beautiful the plant's leaves are to explain when and where the plant grows to show how afraid the author is of the plant
