Based on the findings of a survey, the table compares the zone of forested land in millions of hectares in six different regions of the world between 1990 and 2005, which are Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South America
Throughout the period shown, there was a marked decrease in the area of forested land in other regions features, particularly region South America. Europe had a higher zone of forested land in millions of hectares with six regions having difficulties in both years. By contrast, Ocean had a lower zone of forested land in millions of hectares with these categories in both years.
Looking at the table more closely, one can see that between 22 and 42 million hectares of the areas of forested land is the most noticeable decrease in South America. In comparison, Africa saw a total decrease from 749 to 691 million hectares of the areas of forested land. However, there are some slight shifts in North America and Oceania.
The trends for Asia and South America were noticeably different from those described above. The million hectares of the zone of forested land in Europe ascended continually in both years. On the other hand, a million hectares of the zone of forested land in Asia fluctuated over the 15 periods, beginning at 576 million hectares, then dropping to 570 million hectares, and rising to 584 million hectares.
