Data from 969 sites in France southern Germany and Switzerland was analysed with multiple logistic regression models. Variables found to be significantly related to storm damage which was mainly scattered damage in our study were country soil pH proportion of coniferous trees slope humus type stand height and altitude . Wind speed was not significantly related to storm damage in the global model but only in the model for France. Soil pH was one of the most significant factors with a lower pH on damaged plots. Atmospheric deposition rates were significantly associated with soil pH but not directly with storm damage. Even though the mechanisms involved in the relationship between soil acidity and storm damage are still poorly understood soil acidity should be considered a significant risk factor. Moreover this large-scale study confirms that increasing the proportion of deciduous trees would reduce the susceptibility of forests to storm damage. deposition logistic regression soil pH wind damage wind speed Résumé - Les forets au sol acide sont plus souvent endommagées par les tempêtes. Nous avons étudié l effet des .
