1 There has been no change in the categories of coppice forest and wetland forest as these are under protection since the year 1977. (Forestry Department, 2003) | |||||
2 Data for the year 1990 was estimated using linear interpolation of the data from 1986 and 1992. Similarly, data for years 2000 and 2005 were forecasted using the same linear trend. | |||||
