Reading this correctly. Land under naturally regenerated or planted stands of trees of at least five meters in situ, as a share of total land area. Figures are in % of land area. Comparing this series with a different measure of the same concept (for example a nominal figure against a purchasing-power-parity figure) will give misleading results.
