Stand-level probability of spruce bark beetle damage mapped across Finland Researchers have created maps identifying forest stands where bark beetle damage is more likely to occur.

A new study predicts the likelihood of European spruce #barkbeetle damage, #Ipstypographus, at stand level in Finland, opening a path to proactive interventions for bark beetle management. Researchers have identified stands where bark beetle damage is more likely to occur.

Impressive death of Norway spruce trees, Picea excelsa, caused by the #BarkBeetle #IpsTypographus in Val Badia, South Tyrol. Experts consider this massive attack a legacy of the storm Vaia, which knocked down 42,500 ha of woods in northern Italy in 2018. Increasing temperatures favored the beetle.
