Introduced species hold 10.0 % of the reported growing stock. FAO ranks the ten largest native and five largest introduced species, together 73.3 % of the total.
The facilities on this page report Pine (5), Mixed Softwood (1), Poplar (1) and Willow (1) as furnish. The species matching that demand hold 8.0 % of the growing stock. Removals by species are not reported internationally, so this is a comparison of demand and standing forest, not a balance.
