Global Forest Cover and Changes: Year- and Country-wise Extent of Area under Naturally Regenerating, Planted, and Plantation Forests
The dataset contains year- and country-wise global data on extent of land under forest, wood and other lands in the world
Note:
The UN defines types of forests as under:
Naturally Regenerating Forest: Forest predominantly composed of trees established though natural regeneration.
Planted Forest: Forest predominantly composed of trees established through planting and/or deliberate seeding
Plantation Forest: Planted Forest that is intensively managed and meet all the following criteria at planting and stand maturity: one or two species, even age class, and regular spacing.
Other Planted Forest: Planted forest which is not classified as plantation forest.: Planted forest which is not classified as plantation forest.
