a)Figures on land and water resources in this table were obtained from surveys in pervious years. The figures are subject to further verification.
   Figures on area of cultivated land were taken from the 1996 's agricultural census. The same as in the following table.
b)Figures on forest resources were taken from the Third Forest Census (1994-1998). Figures on mineral resources were taken in 1999.
