Wood from planted forests: global outlook to 2030.

This chapter summarizes the key findings of FAO's Global Planted Forests Outlook 2005-2030, which highlights that although planted forests cover less than 3% of land area, they contribute a significantly higher proportion of overall goods (wood, fibre, fuel) and environmental and social services, now, and increasingly in the future. It also seeks to estimate the industrial roundwood from planted forests globally.
