Predicting the risk of mountain pine beetle spread to eastern pine forests: Considering uncertainty in uncertain times

2017-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Since the mountain pine beetle (MPB) breached the Rocky Mountains and first appeared in the province of Alberta, Canada, in alarming numbers in the summer of 2005, it has spread eastward across Alberta at an average rate of 80km/year. In the absence of aggressive control, the beetle will undoubtedly continue to spread eastward. The spread rate is expected to slow as the leading edge invasion front moves further fr...
