Australia’s forests and forestry glossary

A National Forest Inventory forest category that principally comprises non-commercial plantations and planted forests that are not reported through the National Plantation Inventory but that satisfy the definition of forest.

‘Other forest’ includes agroforestry plantations, sandalwood plantations, environmental plantings, plantations within the reserve system, and plantations regarded as not commercially viable. Non-planted forests dominated by introduced species are also included in this category.

‘Other forest’ does not include forest reported in the other two national forest categories, ‘Commercial plantation’ and ‘Native forest’.
