Definition
• Forest is a minimum area of land of 0.5-1.0 hectares with tree
crown cover (or equivalent stocking level) of more than 10-30
percent with the potential to reach the minimum height of 2-5
meter at maturity in situ (UNFCCC, 2001).
• Forest use natural forest and forest plantations. It is used to
refer to land with a tree canopy cover more than 10 percent and
the area should be more than 0.5 hectares. Forests are
determined by both presence of trees and absence of other
predominant land uses. The trees should be able to reach a
minimum height of 5 meter. Young stands that have not yet but
are expected to reach a crown density of 10 percent and tree
height of 5 m are included under forest, as are temporarily
unstocked areas (FAO, 2000a).
What is Forest Cover?
• Forest Cover refers to all lands more than
one hectare in area, with a tree canopy
density of more than 10 percent irrespective
of ownership and legal status. Such lands
may not necessarily be a recorded forest
area. It also includes orchards, bamboo and
palm.
