(11.2%) Likewise, there was a negligible difference between the shares of forests in Europe and the wood production, with the former comprising a mere 5% and the latter being 4.2% higher. Meanwhile, the identical 9.2% of timber output in Europe was true for that of forests in Asia/Oceania, whereas its timber production stood at 14.3%.
