Over five years, the area of forests damaged by harmful organisms changed from 2953.2 to 5301.4 thousand hectares. Rows show the total area of affected forests and specific pest groups, such as conifer pests and the Siberian silk moth. This illustrates how the scale of damage changed over the five-year period and the contribution of various organisms. The indicator is measured in thousands of hectares; data are annual and cover the entire country, providing current information for analyzing the state of the forest fund across the Russian Federation
Graph of the area of harmful organism outbreaks in Russian forests, 2019–2023, thousand hectares
Who grew, who fell: 2019 → 2023
Set in numbers
Coverage: 13 series in at year-end; thousand hectares, 2019 through 2023, 5 reporting periods. 58 values in total.
Between 2019 and 2023 “Площадь лесов, пораженная вредными организмами” rose from 2,953 to 5,301 — 79.5%. The lowest value in the series is 2,890 in 2020.
Rows are categorized by type of impact, allowing comparison between the total damaged area and areas dominated by conifer pests or the Siberian silk moth. This breakdown helps clarify the structure of damage to the forest fund. By comparing different rows, the share of specific pests in the total affected area can be estimated. These data show changes in forest massifs subject to biological impact, enabling assessment of pest spread intensity by year and damage type, which is essential for evaluating the ecological state of forests
What is visible in these numbers
The largest value belongs to “Площадь лесов, пораженная вредными организмами” — 5,301 at year-end; thousand hectares; the smallest is “хвоегрызущими вредителями — обыкновенным сосновым пилильщиком” at 0 at year-end; thousand hectares.
The table is 89% filled: Rosstat does not publish every cell, and the gaps are left as they are rather than interpolated.
Statistics are collected for the period from 2019 to 2023 and are current as of the end of each calendar year. Rosstat environmental protection data are useful to a wide range of specialists, including ecologists, forest pathologists, and forestry professionals involved in monitoring natural resources, planning protective measures, and evaluating the effectiveness of forest resource conservation efforts at federal and regional management levels
