DICOSE holdings (own and others’ animals inside the holding) assigned to the department where the holder is registered; cattle and dairy cattle are not added up. Land: hectare-weighted average; only with both half-years. Planted forest: area from the national forest map of the Ministry of Livestock (MGAP, Sentinel-2 imagery) summed by department. These are one-off editions (2018 and 2021), not an annual series; the change compares the two and may reflect method changes as well as real ones.
