The table graph illustrates the change in the square of forest in six continentals in

the world.
Overall, there was a wide disparity in the area coverd by tree across the world.
While the figure for Europe took the lead of the whole table during the period of
15 years, that figure for Oceania experience at least. Moreover, there was a
downward trend in the forest land in all groups, except Europe and Asia.
Looking first at the forest area of Africa, it stood at 749 million hectares in 1990,
followed by a significant drop at 691 million hectares in 2005. In comparision, the
square of forest area in Asia showed a slight increase, from 576 in 1990 to 584
million hecters in 2005. Regarding North Ameria, little change could be seen with
a different of just 3 million hecters from 1990 to 2000 and then level off at 705
million hecter.
It is worth noticing that there was a surge in the forested land of Europe, with a
stable increase by 10 million hectar per 5 year. There was also a similar trend in
that of Oceania, declining by 1 million hectar per 5-years period, starting with 199
million hectar. Finally, the square of forest in South Ameria decreased form 946 to
882 million hecters between 1990 and 2005
