Abstract

We investigated the health status of 1473 trees in the summer of 2023. 22.6% of the trees in the sample plots were damaged. Among deciduous species, damage was highest in Quercus robur and among conifers in Pinus nigra subsp. laricio. Compared to 2022, we notice an improvement in crown condition. Only in Quercus rubra the proportion of damaged trees increased.
Acidification, eutrophication and climate change with associated hazards like storms, drought, heat and forest fire remain the biggest threats to forests, as do newly introduced diseases and infestations.
