The table represents the land used for forest in millions of hectares in 6 areas of the planet in the years 1990, 2000 and 2005.
It is clear that while the figures for Africa, North America, Oceania and South America, the opposite was true for two remaining parts. It is noticeable that Europe had the largest forested land in three years.
In 1990, the amount of land used for forest in Europe and South America was highest, with 989 hectares and 946 hectares respectively, roughly four times as much as that of Oceania at 199 hectares. During 15 years, the figure for Oceania witnessed a steady decrease about 1 hectares. A grown was seen in the amount of forested land in Europe, whereas, that in South America dropped to 882 hectares.
In the year 1990, Asia had 576 hectares of forested land, which was two-thirds as less as Africa and North America at 749 for the former and 707 for the latter. The next 15 year seen a fall to 691 hectares in the figure for Africa, while a rise to 584 was witnessed in that for Asia. From 2000 to 2005, the amount of forested land declined and stablized at 705 hectares.
