54 Forest Condition in Europe 2013
Agent Group ‘Game and grazing’
In 2012, only minor damage from ‘game and grazing’ was observed on the assessed trees
throughout Europe. Tab. 3.2.3.1-1 displays that 1% of all recorded damages were caused by
this agent group. It has however to be taken into account that only adult trees in KRAFT classes
1-3 are regularly assessed for damage types and browsing in the herb and shrub layer is
not recorded in this assessment. 78.0% of all affected plots show a share of damaged trees of
25% or lower (Fig. 3.2.3.1-2).
