Forest succession on the Karelian Isthmus, likely following a "sanitary clear-cut" (sanitarnaya rubka) due to a spruce bark beetle infestation. Notice the numerous grey, skeletal trees with no needles or only sparse, brown branches. This "standing deadwood" (sukhostoy) is the signature of the spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus), which has devastated monoculture spruce forests in the Leningrad Region over the last decade. The visible path or track through the center suggests this area is used by locals, likely from the nearby SNT "Rodnik," for mushroom hunting or walking. The distinct line between the tall forest and the clearing creates a "forest edge" habitat that is often rich in berries. Kannelyarvi, north from Saint Petersburg, Russia, October 1, 2025
