dollar terms) was driven in part by the NZ$/US$ exchange rate (US$0.71 per NZ$1.00 versus US$0.65 per NZ$1.00).

OUTLOOK FOR 2022
In 2022, we expect to achieve full-year harvest volumes in our Southern Timber segment of 6.3 to 6.6 million tons.
−Removed: We expect a modest improvement in weighted average pricing relative to full-year 2020 driven by strong sawtimber demand and a higher mix of sawtimber, partially offset by an increased proportion of planned harvest volume from relatively lower-priced markets.
−Removed: In our Pacific Northwest Timber segment, we expect to achieve harvest volumes of 1.7 to 1.8 million tons, bolstered by a full-year contribution from the Pope Resources acquisition.
−Removed: We also anticipate higher average sawtimber prices as compared to full-year 2020 given strong domestic demand trends and favorable lumber pricing.
−Removed: In our New Zealand Timber segment, we expect to achieve harvest volumes of 2.6 to 2.8 million tons, up modestly year-over-year following the operational disruptions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
−Removed: We further expect that strong demand from China coupled with strong local markets will lead to improved export and domestic pricing.
+Added: T he anticipated increase relative to 2021 reflects a rebound in harvest activity following the wet weather conditions and supply chain constraints that negatively impacted full-year 2021 volumes, as well as the expected contribution from recent acquisitions.
+Added: We also anticipate an improvement in weighted average stumpage realizations relative to full-year 2021 driven by strong sawtimber and pulpwood demand, partially offset by higher harvest and transportation costs.
+Added: In our Pacific Northwest Timber segment, we expect to achieve harvest volumes of 1.7 to 1.8 million tons.
+Added: We anticipate weighted average pricing to increase modestly relative to full-year 2021 driven by continued strong demand.
+Added: However, we expect that higher prices will be largely offset by increased harvest and transportation costs.
+Added: In our New Zealand Timber segment, we expect to achieve harvest volumes of 2.6 to 2.8 million tons.
+Added: For the full-year, we anticipate modestly lower export pricing relative to the full-year pricing achieved in 2021.
+Added: However, as log inventories in China normalize and demand picks up following the Lunar New Year, we anticipate export pricing to increase from current levels.
+Added: Seasonally lower volumes, supply chain disruptions and lower pricing are generally expected to produce lower operating results from this segment in the first half versus the second half of the year.
In the Real Estate segment, we remain focused on opportunistically unlocking the long-term value of our HBU development and rural property portfolio.
Following exceptionally strong Real Estate results in 2021, we currently anticipate more normalized transaction activity in 2022.
−Removed: We further anticipate that real estate activity will be heavily weighted to the second half of the year, with relatively limited activity in the first quarter in particular.
Our 2022 outlook is subject to a number of variables and uncertainties, including those discussed at Item 1A — Risk Factors .
