Liechtenstein - Adjusted savings: net forest depletion (% of GNI)

Adjusted savings: net forest depletion (% of GNI) in Liechtenstein was 0.001 as of 2017. Its highest value over the past 25 years was 0.011 in 1994, while its lowest value was 0.001 in 1999.

Definition: Net forest depletion is calculated as the product of unit resource rents and the excess of roundwood harvest over natural growth. If growth exceeds harvest, this figure is zero.

Limitations and Exceptions: A positive net depletion figure for forest resources implies that the harvest rate exceeds the rate of natural growth; this is not the same as deforestation, which represents a change in land use. In principle, there should be an addition to savings in countries where growth exceeds harvest, but empirical estimates suggest that most of this net growth is in forested areas that cannot currently be exploited economically. Because the depletion estimates reflect only timber values, they ignore all the external and nontimber benefits associated with standing forests.
