• The data presented in this article are related to the research article
  entitled “Mountain pine beetle outbreak duration and pine mortality depend on direct control effort” [1]. This article provides
  presence of mountain pine beetle infested trees detected by the
  Saskatchewan Forest Service on a grid covering the spatial extent
  of the Saskatchewan portion of the Cypress Hills interprovincial
  park between 2006 and 2018. For each grid cell, associated
  ecological and environmental covariates, such as topography,
  weather and vegetation, are also provided. These data cover the
  spatio-temporal extent of an almost entire mountain pine beetle
  outbreak and contribute to the understanding of mountain pine
  beetle outbreak dynamics
