Based on data compiled by the USDA Forest Service, the USDI Geological Survey produced a forest cover types map of the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii. Forest cover in general refers to the relative (in percent) or sure (in square kilometers/square miles) land area that is covered by forests.. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, a forest is defined as land spanning more than hectares with trees higher than 5 meters and a canopy cover of more than 10 percent, or trees able to reach these thresholds in situ. Forests cover almost 4 thousand million ha in the world in , which correspond to 31% of the terrestrial land of the earth (without inland water, FAO, b).South America, with 48%, and Europe (including Russia), with 46%, are the continents with the highest share of forest cover, as opposed to Asia, with 19% forest variability can be explained by natural factors such as .
