How to read this table

The rows in the list are categorized by forest restoration methods. Artificial reforestation involves planting seedlings, while natural reforestation occurs through self-seeding and natural growth. Comparing these indicators allows for an assessment of the share of active human involvement in maintaining the country's forest cover. All data are annual and cover the territory of Russia as a whole

What is visible in these numbers

“Forest restoration” leads the table with 1,170 thousand hectares, “Creation on agricultural lands — protective forest strips” closes it with 0 thousand hectares.
