The enormous decline of 27.8% ensues essentially from the extensive amount of storm-damaged wood available in 2007, which is the year of comparison here, in addition to a marked decline in the course of the second half of 2008. In comparison to the average felling of the past five years, the 2008 report on the wood market issued by the German Federal Ministry of Nutrition, Agriculture and Consumer Protection describes a decline of 8% in the amount of wood felled.
