Source: World Resources Database 1994-1995. Data on plantations were taken from World Resources 1996-1997.
Natural forest for the tropics includes closed forest and open forest with at least 10% tree cover; it does not include plantations (FAO).
Plantations refer to forest stands established artificially by afforestation and reforestation for industrial and nonindustrial usage.
