This talk of nomad populations reminded me of a question which arose in a game the other week:
We (elven PCs & others) were planning some pre-emptive action against the empire to protect our wood. The GM suddenly realised that he didn't have much of a clue how many elves lived in the forest. We needed to have some idea of what size of force we could muster if the worst came to the worst.

So I was wondering if anyone out there has a feel for how much woodland is required to "support" an elf?

(I think the figure we settled on was something like 1 elf per 10 sq km, but that was simply working back from the sizes of known temples in the area which is maybe not the best way...)
