In 2021, mean defoliation remained at approximately the same level as in 2020 with no change for broadleaves and only a very slight increase for conifers. Deciduous temperate oaks had the highest increase in mean defoliation (+1.4%), while common beech had the largest decrease (-1.7%). Based on the data of the past 20 years, trends show a considerable increase in defoliation of Austrian pine and evergreen oaks (7.1% and 6.7%, respectively). On the other hand, the increase in defoliation for deciduous temperate oaks (2.6%) and common beech (3.4%) has been relatively low and the trend for Scots pine and Norway spruce shows a moderate increase in defoliation of 4.3 and 3.8%, respectively. No trend was detected for deciduous (sub-) Mediterranean oaks. There was again a decrease in the number of observed damage symptoms compared to last year. As in previous years, the number of recorded damage symptoms per assessed tree was substantially higher for broadleaves than for conifers. Insects, abiotic causes, and fungi were the most common damage agent groups for all species, comprising altogether more than half of all damage records. Tree mortality increased again slightly in 2021, mainly due to abiotic factors.

Maize and other cereals are the commodities most contaminated with fumonisins. The maize acreage is increasing in Africa, and the maize harvest provides important foods for humans and feeds for domestic animals throughout the continent. In North Africa, high levels of fumonisins have been reported from Algeria and Morocco, while low levels have been detected in the rather few fumonisin analyses reported from Tunisia and Egypt. The West African countries Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ghana, and Nigeria all report high levels of fumonisin contamination of maize, while the few maize samples analysed in Togo contain low levels. In Eastern Africa, high levels of fumonisin contamination have been reported from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. The samples analysed from Rwanda contained low levels of fumonisins. Analysis of maize from the Southern African countries Malawi, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe revealed high fumonisin levels, while low levels of fumonisins were detected in the few analyses of maize from Botswana and Mozambique.
