The regional groups used in this table represent FAO's standardized regional breakdown of the world according to geographical criteria. Forest is defined as landwith tree crown cover of more than 10 percent and area of more than 0.5 ha whose primary use is forestry. The trees should be able to reach a minimum height of 5 metres at maturity in situ. Numbers may not tally due to rounding. n.s. = not significant; indicating a very small value; n.a. = not available; * = not FAO Member State
