The underlying input data are usually household budget surveys conducted by government agencies that track spending of selected households over a given period.The data is shown in nominal terms which means that monetary data is valued at prices of the respective year and has not been adjusted for inflation. For future years the price level has been projected as well. The data has been converted from local currencies to US$ using the average exchange rate of the respective year. For forecast years, the exchange rate has been projected as well. The timelines therefore incorporate currency effects.Find more key insights for the total consumer spending on communication in countries like Caribbean and Worldwide.

This dataset considers information from 3,243 ICP-Forests Level I plots collected between 2006 and 2008 in 19 European Countries: France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, Ireland, Denmark, Spain, Sweden, Austria, Finland, Hungary, Poland, Slovak Republic, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Latvia, Cyprus. The dataset provides standardized estimates of deadwood volume distinguished in five different deadwood components: standing and lying dead trees, snags, coarse woody debris, and stumps.

The data allowed a traditional set of forest parameters to be extracted and that may be used to build relationship with other forest attributes, both quantitative and qualitative, to strength the knowledge of forest structure, diversity and species interactions naturally occurring in European forests. To the best of our knowledge it is the first dataset reporting measurements on deadwood at such large spatial scale in forest stands in Europe.
