The table illustrates the proportion of land area coverage by forest in Australia, Brazil, Chile and New Zealand in 1990 and 2005 as well as projected figures for 2015. The units are messured in percentage.
Overall, the countries, Australia and Brazil saw a downward trend in the area covered by forest between year 1990 and 2005. In addition, the same fall is estimated in the following year 2015. However, other two countries, Chile and New Zealand experienced an upsurge in the green cover area and are expected to follow the similar trend in 2015 as well.
Australia’s figure drop from 21.9% to 21.3% in 2005 while there was a drop from 62.2% to 57.2% in 2005. On the contrary, New Zealand and Chile managed to improve the score from 28.8% to 31.0% and 20.4% to 21.5% in 2005 respectively. It is projected to further increase in 2015.
All in all, land area covered by forest is expected to soar for New Zealand and Chile and slide for Brazil and Australia in coming years.

The given table provides us with data pertaining to the percentage of forest land covered in four different countries over the years 1990 and 2005, including estimated figures for 2015.

From the table, it is very conspicuous that the forest cover in Australia and Brazil decreased from 21.90 and 62.20 in 1990 to 21.03 and 57.20 in 2005 and the same trend was projected to be continued in 2015 with further dipping in their respective green cover i.e., 20.00 and 53.50.

Whereas, on the other hand, the countries, New Zealand and Chile, managed to improve their percentage share of forest land vis-à-vis their total territory from 28.80 and 20.40 in 1990 to 31.00 and 21.50 in 2005, and they were expected to further improve their green pasture in 2015 to 32.30 and 22.00.

Overall, the percentage of forest land vis-à-vis the total land of New Zealand and Chile was going northwards, and for Australia and Brazil, it was going southwards.

The table depicts information on the changes in the forest area of four countries (New Zealand, Brazil, Australia and Chile) in 1990, 2005 and 2015. The units were expressed in percentage.
Overall, Brazil and Australia were found with a considerable drop in the land covered by forest while, New Zealand and Chile had a markedly rise throughout the period in 1990, 2005 and 2015.
In 1990, Brazil had the largest land area under forest that accounts for 62.2%, which dwindled drastically over 25 years and reached about 53.5%. Likewise, Australia which was the second last in the list of forest area in 1990, moved to the least forest area cover by 2015 with a decrease of 1.9%.
In contrast, New Zealand and Chile strengthened with a marginal increase in their forest cover by 3.5% and 1.6% by the year 2015. By enhancing the forest area, Chile reduced the burden of being last in the list by 2015.

The table below provides us an information regarding the percentage of land covered by forest in various countries in the years 1990 and 2005 and forecasts an estimated figure for the year 2015.

In the era of 1990, we can say that the forest coverage over land was the highest in Brazil(62.2%), followed by New Zealand(28.8%), Australia(21.9%) and lastly Chile(20.4%). However, the figures changed by 2005.

In 2005, forest covered almost 57% of land area in Brazil, dropping it from 62%, yet keeping Brazil the dominating nation in the table, followed by New Zealand which rose to 31%, Chile and lastly Australia.

A forecasted figure is also presented in the table based on the data. It seems like, percentage of land covered by forests in Brazil will be around 53%, followed by New Zealand which will stand up to 32%, Chile’s 22% of land will be covered by forest and for Australia 20% is estimated.

Clearly, it can be concluded that, lands of Brazil will mostly be covered by the forest vegetations throughout, although the statistics of it is eventually decreasing. Similar with Australia but at a slow rate. Forest dominating more of the lands of New Zealand and Chile can be seen eventually.

The table makes an analogy between different countries to show data related to the woodlands area for the years 1990, 2005, and a prediction of future conditions in 2015.
At the first glance, what is interpretable from this table, Brazil is ranked at the top of them with most percentage, and Australia is at a rock-bottom percentage of land covered by forest. As time goes by, this percentage in Australia and Brazil decreases, while a reverse behavior is visible in Chile and New Zealand.
As illustrated by the table, Australia experienced a slight fall in the area of forests. The percentage of land covered by forest in 1990 was about 21.9%. Then, with a drop of 0.6%, it reached down to 21.3% in 2005, and finally, this amount for the year 2015 about 20 percent is being estimated. Brazil witnessed similar behavior. Regarding the table, 62.2, 57.2, and 53.5 percent for the years 1990, 2005, and 2015 are being assessed, respectively.
By contrast, New Zealand and Chile are showing growth in the area of forests. There was a negligible rise in Chile from 20.4% in 1990 to 22% in 2015. Similarly, for the year 1990 in New Zealand 28.8%, 31 percent in 2005, and Just over 32% is being estimated for the year 2015.

The given tables show the percentage of land covered by Forest in different countries between the years 1990 to 2005, and the assumed percentage of the Forest will be inclined and decline by the year 2015.

In the table, if we observe, the country New Zealand covered 28.8 per cent in 1990s and increased to 2.2% percentage in the year 2005 by covering a percentage of 31 as well as it showing the prediction percentage 1.3 will be increased by the year 2015 with the coverage of 32.3 percentage.
In the same way, Chile covered 20.4 per cent in 1990 and increased to 21.5 per cent in 2005 and showing the Forest will cover a forest inclination of 22.00 per cent of the land in 2015.
The above two countries, New Zealand and Chile show the positive result for the inclination of Forest.

However, countries like Australia and Brazil show that deforestation increased between the years 1990 to 2005 and predicted it would go to more deforestation by 2015.

In 1990, 21.9 per cent of the land was covered by the Forest and declined to 21.3 per cent in the year 2005, the result of 0.6 per cent of deforestation happened in Australia. It showed 1.3 Percentage Is going to be deforestation by 2015.

Accordingly, in Brazil in the year 1990, 62.00 per cent of land covered by the Forest and which is drastically fell to 57.2 per cent by 2005 and assuming it goes to 53.5 per cent by 2015. Tables refer to in this country; Deforestation is at a high level.

I hope to get a reply to my writing, to aid me to upgrade my skills. Thank you.
The table explains the proportion of land made of forests in different countries in 1990 and 2005 with projected figures for 2015.
Two countries showed an increase in forested land, including New Zealand at 28.8% in 1990, climbing to 31% in 2005 and will increase to 32.3% in 2015. Likewise, the proportion of Chile’s at 20.4% in 1990, inclined to 21.5% in 2005 and is predicted to rise to 22.5% in 2015.
However, there was a decline in the land space covered up with forests in Australia and Brazil. Australia’s figure in 1990 was at 21.9%, which reduced to 21.3% in 2005 and is projected to drop further to 20% in 2015. Brazil had a fall from 62.2% in 1990 to 57.2%in 2005 and is expected to continually decrease to 53.5% in 2015.
Overall, it is observed that New Zealand and Chile had an increase in forested lands, unlike Australia and brazil, whose land space was covered with forests reduced over time and are all going to follow this trend.
