Aftermath of mountain pine beetle outbreak in British Columbia: Stand dynamics, management response and ecosystem resilience
Download2016
Dhar, Amalesh, Parrott, Lael, & Hawkins, Christopher D. B.
The mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) (MPB) has infested and killed millions of hectares of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Engelm) forests in British Columbia, Canada, over the past decade. It is now spreading out of its native range into the Canadian boreal...

Large-scale insect outbreak homogenizes the spatial structure of ectomycorrhizal fungal communities
Download2019-01-01
Ectomycorrhizal fungi (plant symbionts) are diverse and exist within spatially variable communities that play fundamental roles in the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. However, the underlying ecological mechanisms that maintain and regulate the spatial structuring of ectomycorrhizal fungal...

Price, David T., Matthews, H. Damon, Parrott, Lael, Ramankutty, Navin, Landry, Jean-Sébastien
The ongoing major outbreak of mountain pine beetle (MPB) in forests of western North America has led to considerable research efforts. However, many questions remain unaddressed regarding its long-term impacts, especially when accounting for the range of possible responses from the non-target...

Abstract: There are concerns that large-scale stand mortality due to mountain pine beetle (MPB) could greatly reduce natural regeneration of serotinous Rocky Mountain (RM) lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) because the closed cones are held in place without the fire cue for cone...
