ABSTRACT CONTENT:<br />

After the hurricane that occurred in France in December 1999, the huge amount <strong>of</strong> wind-thrown wood involved phytosanitary<br />

hazards. In the short run, the most formidable threat <strong>of</strong> depreciation for saw-logs was the development <strong>of</strong> bluestain.<br />

Hence AFOCEL lead with CRPF a study in order to monitor the evolution <strong>of</strong> bluestain contamination in maritime pine windthrown<br />

stored on site in South West <strong>of</strong> France. Each month, from March to December 2000, the degree <strong>of</strong> bluestain<br />

development in wood was assessed on 600 fresh saw-logs selected just after felling on 20 damaged stands.<br />

The contamination <strong>of</strong> the wind-thrown trees remains limited. One year after the storm, 40% <strong>of</strong> saw logs observed were not<br />

contaminated by bluestain. Before the insects attacks occurred no bluestain damage was notice on logs on dry site but there<br />

were several logs contaminated on wet site. On such land trees contamination could have happen through broken roots. After<br />

insects attacks the contamination <strong>of</strong> the logs rapidly reach 60% on both type <strong>of</strong> site.<br />

If a storm occurred in winter season, we could make this simple recommendation: to harvest first wind thrown<br />

trees on wet sites and quickly before insects attacks.<br />
