Technical Notes
"Definition:"
"Total area is the total area of a country, including the area under inland water bodies. Data are given in thousands of hectares."
""
"Years Covered and Frequency of Update:"
"The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) provides data for the years 1961-2005. However, due to the relative constancy of these data, only the most recent totals are provided here. Data are updated annually by FAO. The most recent updates occurred in 2007."
""
"Methodology:"
"Data on land area were provided to FAO from the United Nations Statistical Division, New York. For more information on these data, please refer to the FAO Production Yearbook. Possible annual variations in the data may be due to updating and revisions of the country data and not necessarily to any change of area. Due to the use of different data sources and overlaps in definitions and classifications, the sum of individual land use category data for some countries may exceed those countries' ""total land area"". "
""
"Data Reliability:"
"This dataset is updated annually and should be considered accurate."
