How this figure is calculated
Forest area, 1000 Hectares (Not Applicable) divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Forest area, 1000 Hectares (Not Applicable) ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Forest area, 1000 Hectares International Monetary Fund
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
