Lead
The lead is direct and to the point and it does a good job at outlining the different sections that will be discussed in the article, such as "Hardwood" and "Softwood." This also demonstrates that the lead has been updated to reflect my peer's content. The first sentence provides a direct definition of pulpwood which provides a clear explanation to better understand the information to follow later in the article.

Content
In terms of content, the information provided is relevant to pulpwood. There seems to be a good level of detail in regards to pulpwood. The additions of the "Products" heading is a really good idea; however, adding further information about how pulpwood is used in each would provide the reader with more information on these topics. The information that distinguishes "Hardwood" and "Softwood" is a good addition. I would suggest that information continue to be provided under the added subtitles "Wood-based minerals," "use after modification" and "Supplemental services". This would allow each of the four hardwood applications to have in specific information, rather than just one. Lastly, I would change the subtitle "Alternatives" to "Alternative Uses of Pulpwood" to provide a more specific subtitle. I would also consider providing a description to support the subtitle "Economically important pulpwoods." In your description, you could consider answering the following questions: why are the listed types of pulpwoods economically important? As well as: in what countries are these types of pulpwoods economically important? This may also help elaborate some ideas as to whether or not this topic relates to historically underrepresented populations. However, there is good mention of countries that have pulpwood plantations. The last edit I would make to the content would be to elaborate on the "Alternatives" section. I would try to include more examples of alternative uses of pulpwood.

Tone and Balance
In terms of the tone and balance of the article, the article seems to be unbiased and present neutral information that is informative. The article does a good job at not swaying the reader to one specific perspective. The information in presented in a factual manner and allows the reader to create their own interpretation of the provided facts.

Sources and Content
The sources added are good and up to date, such as "What is Pulpwood and What Is It Used For?". This source is relatively recent as it was published in 2022 and is a credible, peer reviewed source. I think that some of the sources could be updated to provide more recent information. For example, the statistics under "Applications" come from a source published in 2007. I would recommend updating these statistics with a more recent source, as any facts pertaining to our environment and forests are constantly changing and evolving with the rise of climate change, etc. I think there has been a good use of sources in the lead. All information seems to be well supported with academic sources.

Organization
As for the organization, the article has done a good job organizing the information into subtitles. As for spelling and grammar, the only corrections I would suggest is adding an apostrophe to "hardwoods value comes from..." and "softwoods value comes from..." as it indicates possession. The value belongs to the hardwood/softwood which would make the punctuation, "hardwood's value..."
