T11. Wood Removal

The table provides information on actual supply of “Round Wood” from “Forests”, “Other Wooded Lands” and “Other Land with Trees” (including Trees Outside Forests). It indicates the economic and social potential and utility of forest tree species in national economy and dependent local communities. It helps to monitor sustained use of tree resources by comparing actual supply with sustainable potential.

A. Global Classification and Definitions

Industrial Round Wood Supply

The “round wood” removed (volume in round wood under-bark) from “Forest” or “Other Wooded Land” for production of goods and services other than source of “wood fuel” (“fuelwood”).

Wood Fuel (Fuelwood ) Supply

The “Wood Fuel” removed from “Forest” or “Other Wooded Land” (volume in round wood under-bark) both for industrial and domestic purposes.

E. Calibration

The calibration is the proportional adjustment of the national reported land area (the sum of all land classes) to the official land area as maintained by FAO. The Calibration step is not necessary for this National Reporting Table.

F. Estimation and forecasting

Estimation is the process of recalculating national information to the specified reference years 1990 and 2000. Forecasting refers to forecasting the global data for the last reference period 2005. The process of estimation is not needed since data is available for current years. Forecasting is not necessary for this table.

G. Reclassification into FRA 2005 Classes

Reclassification is basically the process of aggregation or dis-aggregation of original (national) classes into one or many global FRA 2005 variables/classes/categories based on respective definitions and specifications. The proportion of round wood removal belonging to Forest Land and Other Wooded Land and Other Land with Tree Cover is aggregated in the same class.

Estimation is the process of recalculating national information to the specified reference years 1990 and 2000. Forecasting refers to forecasting the global data for the last reference period 2005. The process of estimation is not needed since data is available for current years. The forecasting for 2005 was made taking into account trends and rounding off figures.

It also measures the extent to which forest management recognizes and respects social needs.

A. Global Classification and Definitions (FRA 2005)
