ANNEX 1
DEFINITIONS AND
ACRONYMS
137
Natural expansion of forest
Expansion of forest through natural succession on land that until
then was under another land use (e.g. forest succession on land
previously used for agriculture). It implies a transformation from
non-forest to forest.
Reforestation
Establishment of forest plantations on temporarily unstocked
lands that are considered forest.
Natural regeneration on forest lands
Natural succession of forest on temporarily unstocked lands that
are considered forest.
Deforestation
The conversion of forest to another land use or the long-term
reduction of the tree canopy cover below the minimum 10 per-
cent threshold (see the definition of forest and the following ex-
planatory note).
Explanatory note: Deforestation implies the long-term or per-
manent loss of forest cover and implies transformation into an-
other land use. Such a loss can only be caused and maintained
by a continued human-induced or natural perturbation. Defor-
estation includes areas of forest converted to agriculture, pas-
ture, water reservoirs and urban areas. The term specifically
excludes areas where the trees have been removed as a result of
harvesting or logging and where the forest is expected to regen-
erate naturally or with the aid of silvicultural measures. Unless
logging is followed by the clearing of the remaining logged-over
forest for the introduction of alternative land uses, or the clear-
ings are maintained through continued disturbance, forests com-
monly regenerate, although often to a different, secondary con-
dition. In areas of shifting agriculture, forest, forest fallow and
agricultural lands appear in a dynamic pattern where deforesta-
tion and the return of forest occur frequently in small patches. To
simplify reporting of such areas, the net change over a larger area
is typically used. Deforestation also includes areas where, for
example, the impact of disturbance, overutilization or changing
environmental conditions affects the forest to an extent that it
cannot sustain a tree cover above the 10 percent threshold.
Forest degradation
Changes within the forest that negatively affect the structure or
function of the stand or site, and thereby lower its capacity to
supply products and/or services.
FOREST AND RELATED LAND COVER
These terms have been adopted for use in the Global Forest
Resources Assessment 2000. Further information on definitions
has been published in FAO documents (FAO, 1998d; FAO, 2000f),
which are available on the FAO Web site at: www.fao.org/FOR-
ESTRY/FO/FRA/index.jsp.
Forest
Forest includes natural forests and forest plantations. The term is
used to refer to land with a tree canopy cover of more than 10
percent and area of more than 0.5 ha. Forests are determined both
by the presence of trees and the absence of other predominant
land uses. The trees should be able to reach a minimum height of
5 m. Young stands that have not yet reached, but are expected to
reach, a crown density of 10 percent and tree height of 5 m are
included under forest, as are temporarily unstocked areas. The
term includes forests used for purposes of production, protection,
multiple use or conservation (i.e. forest in national parks, nature
reserves and other protected areas), as well as forest stands on
agricultural lands (e.g. windbreaks and shelterbelts of trees with a
width of more than 20 m) and rubberwood plantations and cork
oak stands. The term specifically excludes stands of trees estab-
lished primarily for agricultural production, for example fruit tree
plantations. It also excludes trees planted in agroforestry systems.
Natural forest
A forest composed of indigenous trees, and not classified as forest
plantation.
Forest plantation
A forest established by planting and/or seeding in the process of
afforestation or reforestation. It consists of introduced species or,
in some cases, indigenous species.
Other wooded land
Land that has either a crown cover (or equivalent stocking level)
of 5 to10 percent of trees able to reach a height of 5 m at maturity;
or a crown cover (or equivalent stocking level) of more than 10
percent of trees not able to reach a height of 5 m at maturity; or
a shrub or bush cover of more than 10 percent.
Afforestation
Establishment of forest plantations on land that until then was not
classified as forest. It implies a transformation from non-forest to forest.
DEFINITIONS USED IN THE
STATE OF THE WORLD’S FORESTS
138
Forest improvement
Changes within the forest that positively affect the structure or
function of the stand or site, and thereby increase its capacity to
supply products and/or services.
FOREST PRODUCTS
These definitions are an abbreviated form of those used in the
FAO Yearbook of Forest Products, which includes full details
(FAO, 2000c).
Roundwood

ANNEX 2
DATA TABLES
143
TABLE 2 and TABLE 3
These figures for 2000 represent the most current global data
set available for forest area and forest area change. The source
of the data is the FAO Forest Resources Assessment 2000 Project.
Adjustments to the standard reference years 1990 and 2000
were made by FAO. “Total forest” is the sum of natural forest
plus forest plantations. Forest area change is the net change in
forests and includes expansion of forest plantations and losses
and gains in the area of natural forests.
In Table 2, “volume” refers to total volume over bark of living
trees above 10 cm diameter at breast height. “Biomass” refers to
above-ground mass of the woody part (stem, bark, branches, twigs)
of trees (alive or dead), shrubs and bushes. For industrialized
countries (i.e. Europe, CIS countries, Japan, Australia, New Zealand,
Canada and the United States), the stem volume for all living trees
has been used for the volume figure. Some variation as to the
minimum diameter applied is reported in UN-ECE/FAO (2000b).
TABLE 4
The table summarizes information collected for FRA 2000 on the
status and trends of forest management as of the end of 2000. It
includes information by country on membership of ecoregional
processes on criteria and indicators for sustainable forest man-
agement, the area of forest under management plans, the area of
forest under legal protection status and the area of forest certified
under various certification schemes.
Criteria and indicators for sustainable forest management
Criteria and indicators processes are abbreviated as follows:
ATO = African Timber Organization
DZAf = Dry-Zone Africa Process on Criteria and Indicators for
Sustainable Forest Management
DFAs = Regional Initiative for the Development and Implemen-
tation of National Level Criteria and Indicators for the Sustain-
able Management of Dry Forests in Asia
EUR = Pan-European Forest Process on Criteria and Indicators
for Sustainable Forest Management
ITTO = International Tropical Timber Organization
LEP = Lepaterique Process of Central America on Criteria and
Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management
MON = Montreal Process on Criteria and Indicators for the Con-
servation and Sustainable Management of Temperate and Bo-
real Forests
EXPLANATORY NOTES
GENERAL
Country/area nomenclature and regional groups used in the data
tables
The country/area names and order used in these tables
follow standard UN practice regarding nomenclature and al-
phabetical listing. Data for “China” incorporate values for China
(including Hong Kong Special Adminstrative Region and Macao
Special Administrative Region) and for Taiwan Province of
China. The regional groups used in these tables represent FAO’s
standardized regional breakdown of the world according to
geographic – not economic or political – criteria.
Totals
Numbers may not tally because of rounding.
Abbreviations
GDP = gross domestic product
GNP = gross national product
n.s. = not significant, indicating a very small value
n.a. = not available
- = not available
n.ap. = not applicable
TABLE 1
The “land area” figure refers to the total area of a country,
excluding areas under inland water bodies. The source of these
data is the FAO Production Yearbook 1998 (FAO, 1999b), except
in the case of 17 countries (marked in the table with an asterisk)
whose land areas have been amended to reflect data recently
provided to FAO by these countries. The forest cover figure for
each country has been calibrated to the country’s land area.
Population statistics on total population, population density
and annual rate of change are taken from World population
prospects – the 1998 revision (UN, 1999). The source of “Rural
population” data is World urbanization prospects – the 1996
revision (UN, 1997).
The source of the economic data is World Development
Indicators 1999 (World Bank, 2000c). The GNP per capita
figure represents the gross national product (GNP) divided by
the mid-year population. The data are in constant 1995
US dollars. The annual percentage growth rate figures of gross
domestic product (GDP) are based on constant local currency.
144
NE = Near East Process on Criteria and Indicators for Sustainable
Forest Management
TARA = Tarapoto Proposal of Criteria and Indicators for
Sustainability of the Amazon Forest
All 29 ITTO producer countries have been involved in the
development of the ITTO Criteria and Indicators; however, only
those countries implementing the ITTO criteria and indicators as
part of an ITTO project are included in the table. The remaining
ITTO producer countries are also members of other ongoing
international processes on criteria and indicators and are devel-
oping and implementing criteria and indicators under separate,
but linked, initiatives (e.g. Lepaterique, Tarapoto and ATO).
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Georgia, San Marino and Yugoslavia
were invited to join the Pan-European Forest Process as of De-
cember 2000 and have been included in the table.
Cuba and the Lao People’s Democratic Republic have devel-
oped national level criteria and indicators for sustainable forest
management without being members of any of the above pro-
cesses.
Area under forest management plans
Different definitions for the area of forest under management
plans were used for developing and industrialized countries.
The definition used for developing countries is “The area of
forest which is managed for various purposes (conservation,
production, other) in accordance with a formal, nationally ap-
proved management plan over a sufficiently long period (five
years or more)”. The definition used for industrialized countries
(Europe, Cyprus, Turkey, Israel, CIS countries, Japan, Australia,
New Zealand, Canada and the United States) also included ar-
eas with a regularly applied informal plan, and areas where a
decision has been made not to manage the forests at all (UN-
ECE/FAO, 2000b). For this reason, regional totals are not pro-
vided in the table.
The figures for area under forest management plans were
taken from national reports and calculated as a percentage of the
total forest area in 2000. Where national reports indicated that
all forests were under management, the percentage was set to
100 percent. Partial data were obtained from a variety of pub-
lished sources.
For Georgia, forests classified as “undisturbed” were not in-
cluded in the reported figure.
For the Philippines, the figure represents the aggregated area
covered by tenurial agreements for “forest land” and includes
areas that were not defined as forests according to the FRA 2000
definition. A forest management plan is required under these
agreements, but may not have been formally approved for all
areas.
For Australia, only forests managed for wood supply were
included.
For Finland, the original figure provided was 18.6 million ha.
However, a total of 21.9 million ha of forest had been certified
as of December 2000. As this implies the existence of a manage-
ment regime, the higher figure was used.
For Italy, only forests with specific management plans were
included. All other forests in the country are submitted to general
silvicultural prescriptions.
For Guyana, the figure represents the area under concession
agreements, as all concessionaires are required to prepare a forest
management plan as a prerequisite to government approval.
Numbers with an asterisk (*) represent partial data, as national
figures were not available.
Forest in protected areas
“Forest in protected areas” refers to areas within IUCN Catego-
ries I to VI for nature protection. The “Country report data” col-
umn gives figures provided in country submissions to FRA 2000
in which the term “protection” was interpreted broadly, particu-
larly for IUCN Categories V to VI, which may include areas
under general forest management. The “Global map data” col-
umn gives figures derived from an overlay of the FRA 2000
global maps of forest cover and the FRA 2000 (in partnership
with UNEP-WCMC) global mapping of protected areas with a
legal protection status. Percentages refer to the percentage of
total forest area under protected area status.
Forest areas certified
The cumulative area of forests certified under the following
schemes is listed.
ATFP = American Tree Farm Program (as of December 2000)
CSA = Canada’s National Sustainable Forest Management Sys-
tem Standard (as of 21 December 2000)
FSC = Forest Stewardship Council – Accredited Certification
Bodies (as of 31 December 2000)
GT = Green Tag (United States) (as of 31 December 2000)
PEFC = Pan-European Forest Certification (national schemes
endorsed by the PEFC Council) (as of December 2000)
SFI = Sustainable Forest Initiative Program – American Forest
and Paper Association (for Canada, as of 21 December 2000; for
the United States, as of October 2000)
Although more than 29 million ha of land were enrolled in SFI
in the United States and Canada, only those areas that were
independently certified are included.
Areas certified under the ISO 14001 Environmental Manage-
ment System Standard scheme (e.g. about 30 980 000 ha in
Canada and more than 300 000 ha in New Zealand) are in-
cluded only if also certified under specific forest certification
schemes.
Ghana, Malaysia and Indonesia, among others, are develop-
ing national certification schemes under which additional areas
