Fallen Trees (Marcesina Plain)

VICENZA, ITALY - NOVEMBER 08: Fallen trees in the Marcesina Plain on November 8, 2018 in Asiago, Italy. On Monday, October 29th, violent winds and heavy rains have devastated the forests of the Asiago Plateau. Around 300.000 trees were flattened, 10% of the woodland heritage. It will take almost a century to the forest to return to normal. The damage is not only environmental but also economic because Italy already imports 80% of the wood it consumes. The 2018 summer was the hottest ever In Italy and the temperature gap could be a cause of the fallen trees.
