What countries have the majority of world timberland supply?
A. The Chart below shows the total timberland supply around the globe. The United States accounts for only 8% of global forest reserves, but 25% of total global production. This is because the United States has some of the best tree-growing land to be found anywhere in the world. On a per-acre basis, net annual growth in the United States is 47 cubic feet compared with 37 cubic feet in Canada and just 19 cubic feet in Russia. U.S. commercial timberland is concentrated in the Northwest, South and Northeast regions of the nation.
