Annual change in forest area as a share of forest area

Annual net change in forest area measures forest expansion (the sum of afforestation and natural expansion) minus deforestation

Note: The UN FAO publish forest data as the annual average on 10- or 5-year timescales. The following year allocation applies: "1990" is the annual average from 1990 to 2000; "2000" for 2000 to 2010;"2010" for 2010 to 2015; and "2015" for 2015 to 2020.
