Forest

Forest accounts is a statistical framework that treats forests both as a natural resource and as an economic asset from a macroeconomic perspective. The forest accounting framework links physical indicators of forests (forest land area, timber stock, increment, and timber harvesting) with corresponding monetary indicators, as well as with economic indicators (output, costs, and value added). In calculating output and value added, the forest accounting methodology also takes into account the value of growing timber.

Methodology and information  can be found in reports"Description of the methodology and methodological issues for forest account" and “Developing of the forest accounts”.The development work  has been co-financed by Eurostat grant 101197994 — 2024-EE-EGD. Forest accounts tables are published here:  KK53, KK54 ja KK55

Administrative forestry statistics  is compiled by Estonain Environment Agency and it provides  long timeseries  about the size of Estonia’s forest resources, the annual increment of stands, the area of forest land in Estonia, the share of protected forest land or for example the annual volume of fellings.

Forest accounts and administrative forest statistics are based on different methodologies. Forest accounts indicators and their annual changes are displayed on dashboards. Below that are displayed time series based on administrative forest statistics

Forestry statistics tables based on administrative data are published here: KK509, KK51, KK513, KK514, MM03, MM04, MM05, MM10
