Historic Influence of the Mountain Pine Beetle on Stand Dynamics in Canada's Rocky Mountain Parks by Pamela Dykstra,T. F. Braumandl,Hawkes, B. C. (Brad C.),Pacific Forestry Centre Pdf

The Canadian government announced the Mountain Pine Beetle Initiative (MPBI) in 2002 to address the socio-economic and ecological consequences of an epidemic of mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins). The objective of this study was to establish baseline information on the ecological characteristics that occur at different stages of succession, resulting from mountain pine beetle disturbance at different time intervals. Key issues addressed by this study were: the post-beetle ecological character of stands; the ecological legacies that should be sought post-beetle; maintenance of ecological integrity in beetle-damaged landscapes; and the impacts of beetles on regeneration. This paper presents a study of stand conditions following two historic mountain pine beetle outbreaks events in the 1940s and 1980s. The study quantified structural and species composition of stands at different stages of succession (25 years and 65 years), and quantified the differences that occur in forest development between stands with and without disturbance by the beetle. It concludes with several recommendations for management of post-disturbance landscapes.

Mountain Pine Beetle Symposium by Pacific Forestry Centre,Mountain Pine Beetle Initiative (Canada) Pdf

The S2Mountain Pine Beetle Symposium: Challenges and SolutionsS3 was held in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada on October 30-31, 2003. This meeting was organized by Natural Resources Canada, Canadian Forest Service, Pacific Forestry Centre and funded through the Government of Canada Mountain Pine Beetle Initiative. Approximately 250 people representing the forest industry, consultants, universities, provincial and federal government agencies, First Nations, and the general public, from both Canada and the United States attended the meeting. Thirty presentations were given describing the current mountain pine beetle situation (in British Columbia, Alberta and the western United States) and its management and economic implications. Researchers presented the latest information on remote sensing, decision support systems, impacts on stand dynamics and wildlife, phytosanitary risks, climate change effects and preventive management as they relate to mountain pine beetle.

Characteristics of Endemic-level Mountain Pine Beetle Populations in South-central Wyoming by Dale L. Bartos Pdf

This study was conducted to evaluate the dynamics of endemic populations of mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins). In addition, we extended the geographical range of an existing data base recorded in Utah with similar data from Wyoming. This work was accomplished in lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. Var. latifolia Engelm.) stands on the Medicine Bow National Forest in south-central Wyoming. Thirty-eight variable-radius paired plots (BAF 10) were measured during the summer of 1987. Host-tree condition and mountain pine beetle infestation characteristics were determined from currently and previously infested trees. Presence and severity of Armillaria root disease and stem pathogens was determined. Tree condition and infestation patterns were similar at this site to those found in earlier studies. Trees selected by endemic mountain pine beetle populations were infested with Comandra blister rust (Cronartium Comandra PK) and root disease (Armillaria spp.). Host-tree condition and mountain pine beetle infestation patterns recorded in this study parallel those identified earlier in Utah and will help land managers identify trees to cut to reduce stand hazard to mountain pine beetle infestation.
