Bosvitaliteitsinventaris 2025. Resultaten uit het bosvitaliteitsmeetnet (Level 1)
The Flanders Forest Vitality Inventory shows that in 2025, one in five trees was damaged (20.3%). Pedunculate oak and Corsican pine accounted for the highest proportion of damaged trees. The health of ash trees continues to deteriorate due to ash dieback.
Viewed over a long period, the health status is evolving negatively. Leaf or needle loss is increasing in Flanders during the period 2006–2025, just as it is in the rest of Europe.
Climate change is affecting tree diseases and pests: weakened trees fall prey more easily, and new diseases and infestations are emerging.
