Evolution of forest surface in western Europe in the last 100 years: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2014/12/04/watch-how-europe-is-greener-now-than-100-years-ago/?utm_term=.7ac3636e49b1 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2014/12/04... US Forests History and trends (FAO): www.fao.org/docrep/meeting/x4995e.htm WorldBank has numbers for global trends but only with data starting in 1990 and for forest surface: https://data.worldbank.org https://data.worldbank.org It shows a slight decline, but as FAO points out, forest density (trees pr sqmt) is also growing so forest surface area numbers don't tell the whole story.
