The annual mean temperature was 1 ° - 1,5 ° above normal, the annual precipitation with 110-180% much too high. Between October 2002 and January 2003 wind throws and wind breaks by storms caused a loss of 5 million cubic meters of wood. Bark beetle problems are expected for 2003. Damage by Pristophora abietina and Thaumetopoea processionea increased. For the first time this year Hypodermella laricis, Melampsoridium spp. infestations were recorded.
