摘要：Bark Beetle Calamity in 2008: is a further
decrease likely?
In 2008, 1.91 million mZ of timber were infested by bark
beetle; this means a decrease of 200,000 mZ compared to
2007 and this was the third consecutive year that a small
but persistent decrease could be recorded. Due to the further
extreme wind throw in 2007 and 2008 (in total 18.7mZ),
actually an increase of bark beetle damage had been
anticipated. Assuming that bark beetle outbreaks reach
their peak in the second or third year following gales,
under normal management conditions an increase of bark
beetle damage is expected in wind throw areas in 2009
and/or 2010.
