Introduced species hold 3.0 % of the reported growing stock. FAO ranks the ten largest native and five largest introduced species, together 77.0 % of the total.
The facilities on this page report Larch (4), Pine (4), Spruce (2), Fir (1), Poplar (1) and Beech (1) as furnish. The species matching that demand hold 44.8 % of the growing stock. Removals by species are not reported internationally, so this is a comparison of demand and standing forest, not a balance.
