APPENDIX II - SOME WORLD ESTIMATES

In the following four tables, attempt has been made to estimate world totals for some of the more important elements of the inventory. These estimates, since they are based mainly on reported data, encompass all those defects in the information submitted which have already been referred to. Further possibilities of error are introduced in grossing up figures for those countries and regions where response was low, although some adjustments have been made in cases where the reported data were clearly unrepresentative. Nevertheless it is believed that these figures will be of interest, as indicating orders of magnitude.

Table A. - Distribution of the world's forests Secretariat Estimates

Table B. - Growing stock in the world's forests in use Secretariat Estimates

Table C. - Removals and gross increment in the world's forests in use Secretariat Estimates

Table D. - Percentage distribution by regions of forests, growing stock, growth and removals Secretariat Estimates
