The table provides data about changes in hectares of forested land in five parts of the world in three periods from 1990 to 2005.
It is evident that while Europe has ranked the first position among the remaining regions, it is opposite to Oceania. Besides, table also shows upwards and downwards trend of expanding forest square of these parts.
To begin with, Europe is the highest regions with more or less 1000 hectares of woodland, and it had a upwards trend over time. This trend is similar to Asia when the square of forest increased from 576 to 584 hectares after 25 years. Conversely, the forest land of Africa and South America had been decreased gradually. Particularly, Africa reduced by 58 hectares (from 749 to 691 hectares) and South America is also similar with reduction by 64 hectares (from 946 to 882 hectares).
Moreover, there are still some regions sustaining square of forest during three periods, they are North America and Oceania. Where North America witnessed a little change, in particular, it owned 708 hectares in 1990 and decreased to 705 hectares in 2000 and 2005. Oceania also reduced only by 1 hectare in every period, where this region exhibited 199 hectares in 1990.
