The bark-beetle infestation has caused a lot of problems in the last years especially in Germany and the Czech Republic. But what is the situation for the bark-beetle season that is about to start?<\/p>\n

Republica Ceh\u0103<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the Forestry and Game Management Research Institute in the Czech Republic, the relatively cold and moist vegetation season in Central Europe in 2021 slowed down the bark-beetle calamity. Sometimes the situation is even presented as being under control. That seems almost too good to be true when you compare it with the situation in 2020.<\/p>\n

These issues will be discussed on the 20th \u2013 23rd of June at the Forest Future 2022 conference in Jihlava, Czech Republic.<\/p>\n

Germania<\/strong><\/p>\n

Germany in 2021 was spared from storms and drought according to a press release (in German) from BMEL, the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture. The conditions for the forest were good in 2021, but BMEL informs that the recovery is slow. The canopy thinning in the crowns of the trees is still too high for all tree species. A sign that the forest still suffers after recent years\u2019 bark-beetle and drought problems.<\/p>\n

In 2021, 40,6 million cubic meters of damaged wood were felled. That is to be compared with 66,2 million cubic meters in 2020. The forecast for 2022 is 21 million cubic meters. However, this depends on how the weather conditions will be this spring and summer. E.g., the effects of the February storms are not considered in the forecast.<\/p>\n

Sweden<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sweden has been lucky so far. But there are worrying circumstances to keep an eye on for the upcoming season. In March, local storms and snow damages in south Sweden have rolled out the red carpet for the bark-beetle if nothing is done immediately. In the meantime, eight of ten bark-beetle-affected trees from last year were still in the forest in March this year.<\/p>\n

One of the reasons seems to be the good times for the Swedish forest industry that simply hasn\u2019t had time to go looking for damaged trees as they needed vast volumes of timber to feed the good market. Also, very few tangible actions were taken, such as traps and chemical treatment against the bark-beetle.<\/p>\n

The rest of Europe<\/strong><\/p>\n

It seems that most countries in Europe have the situation under control. When searching for information very little new information is found except for Germany, Sweden, and the Czech Republic. Could it be true, or are the countries running out of spruce trees due to the bark-beetle calamity?<\/p>\n

For example, in the UK, it seems that they had no problems with the bark-beetle until 2018 when the beetle managed to come over to the island from the European mainland. According to the Forestry Commission, it\u2019s mainly the southeast part of England that has been affected by the bark-beetle. However, they seem to have the situation under control.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
