Information on forest increment in international forestry statistics collected by FAO and UN-ECE/FAO is based on estimates provided by the countries. The terms and definitions related to the statistics may or may not be consistent in different countries and they may have changed over the years. This paper illustrates the estimated forest increment in Europe and compares the available definitions in order to describe the growth trends of the forests in Europe.
