Quality
Data remarks
- The cell gives 0.03: the value does not match the unit (thousand ha)
- The area from item III.1 (63.2 thousand ha) is inconsistent with item I.7 (425 thousand ha of forest for production) and with forest cover of 3% (≈420 thousand ha)
Methodology
Indicator metadata
- Definition
- Land covered by forest — land occupied by forest stands of natural and artificial origin (forest plantations), as well as by shrubs. The main criterion for classifying stands and shrubs as land covered by forest is the stocking density (the degree of density of trees in a stand, characterizing the share of the occupied space that they use), which must be 0.4 or higher in young stands and shrub thickets, and 0.3 or higher in older stands.
- Calculation method
- The calculation of the area covered by forest is based on the forest cover formula: L = (Sles/Stot) × 100% where: L — forest cover (%), Sles — area covered by forest vegetation, Stot — total area of the territory. The indicator is calculated annually.
- Institution responsible for calculation
- Forestry Agency under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan
