Best answer: harvest rates are surpassed by net annual tree growth.
Explanation: In most industrialized countries, forest growth (net annual increment) exceeds removals, so overall tree stocks are stable or increasing rather than diminishing. The statement that trees are cut because of an “overabundance” is incorrect — harvesting is driven by demand (timber, pulp, land use), not simply excess supply. Note there are regional exceptions and global tropical deforestation remains a major issue.
