Introduced species hold 29.2 % of the reported growing stock. FAO ranks the ten largest native and five largest introduced species, together 84.0 % of the total.
The facilities on this page report Spruce (5), Douglas Fir (4), Oak (4), Beech (3), Larch (3) and Sitka Spruce (1) as furnish. The species matching that demand hold 76.7 % of the growing stock. Removals by species are not reported internationally, so this is a comparison of demand and standing forest, not a balance.
Forest, species and production figures: FAO FRA 2025 and FAOSTAT (2024-2025). Increment and fellings: Eurostat European Forest Accounts (2023), forest available for wood supply, over bark.
