The European spruce bark beetle is threatening Sweden's forests more than the record wild fires that occurred last year. As summers become\u00a0hotter and drier,\u00a0the damage will likely grow.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A worst-case scenario from the Swedish Forest Agency estimates that it could ruin as much as 12.5 million cubic meters of wood this year, costing as much as 6 billion kronor ($625 million). That\u2019s equivalent to more than 15 percent of annual logging. In its baseline scenario, it sees damage on par with last year\u2019s 3 to 4 million cubic meters.<\/p>\n

The woes related to climate change are piling up. Unusually mild winters are turning once icy grounds into\u00a0thick mud\u00a0capable of swallowing 25-ton logging vehicles. Hotter summers are increasing the risk of fires, which last year forced many companies to temporarily halt operations as the country was forced to call on help from across the European Union to battle out-of-control blazes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe value of wood deteriorates radically, from timber to fuel,\u201d said Hans Kallsmyr, a damage coordinator at the Swedish Forest Agency.<\/p>\n

The agency has now created a crisis task force together with the industry to combat the threat. Key is to identify, cut down and remove damaged trees as soon as the bug starts to swarm in the spring. Some companies are even using artificial intelligence, algorithms and satellite photos to track spruce beetle attacks.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
