In the absence of additional forest policies, the area of productive plantations is assumed to increase only slightly in the baseline between 2000 and 2050 (from 1.1 to 1.2 million km2). As a result, the total forest area in use for wood production increases from 9.5 to 14.5 million km2 (see left panel figure ). In 2050, just over a third of the global forest area will be in use for production. As a consequence of the increasing area for forestry, the area of primary and restored (=unused) forest decreases with more than 6 million km2, starting from almost 30 million km2 in 2000. | In the absence of additional forest policies, the area of productive plantations is assumed to increase only slightly in the baseline between 2000 and 2050 (from 1.1 to 1.2 million km2).
