Tables for the North American regional synthesis on the State of the World Forest Genetic Resources: Please note that we are using the definition of priority species that the FAO has provided in the Guidelines for preparing the Country reports document. They are species for which each country has identified that are either, economic, social or of cultural importance or the species is threatened or invasive (priority for removal). We have included all priority species for each country. Table 1: Regional summary table of general information on forest and plant species in North America.

Checklist of US trees (native and naturalized). USDA Agriculture Handbook No. 541. 15 The number of species presented in this table is not the same as those identified in the Country Report on the State of Forest Genetic Resources-United States of America. This is due to Hawaiian species being included in the US country report but not in the tables for the regional report. Table 2: List of priority species and their main use in North America.
