"Figure 7: Timber production in Scotland increased, caused primarily by a rise in private timber production","" "Timber production in Scotland, 1997 to 2017","" "","" "Notes","1. FC stands for Forestry Commission. 2. Hardwood - broadleaved trees such as oak, birch and beech. Softwood - coniferous trees such as spruce, pine and larch. 3. Hardwood production is proportionally much smaller than softwood production meaning it is difficult to see in this chart.
