Negative Feedbacks on Bark Beetle Outbreaks: Widespread and Severe Spruce Beetle Infestation Restricts Subsequent Infestation
Understanding disturbance interactions and their ecological consequences remains a major challenge for research on the response of forests to a changing climate. When, where, and how one disturbance may alter the severity, extent, or occurrence probability of a subsequent disturbance is encapsulated by the concept of linked disturbances. Here, we evaluated 1) how climate and forest habitat vari...
متن کاملNon-Host Volatile Blend Optimization for Forest Protection against the European Spruce Bark Beetle, Ips typographus
Conifer feeding bark beetles (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Scolytinae) pose a serious economic threat to forest production. Volatiles released by non-host angiosperm plants (so called non-host volatiles, NHV) have been shown to reduce the risk of attack by many bark beetle species, including the European spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus. However, the most active blend for I. typographus, conta...
متن کاملAssessment of the Western Bark Beetle Initiative: a Collaborative Effort between Forest Service Research & Development and Forest Health Protection
Mass trapping Verbenone flakes Ips lecontei outbreak in southwestern ponderosa pine forests Large scale outbreaks of bark beetles in recent years have severely impacted forest conditions in the western United States. In response to these outbreaks, the USDA Forest Service in cooperation with the Western Forestry Leadership Coalition drafted a report (2002) that called for increased short-and lo...
متن کاملDoes soil respiration decline following bark beetle induced forest mortality? Evidence from a lodgepole pine forest
Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) forests across western North America have been undergoing a major mortality event owing to a mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) infestation. We studied biotic and abiotic drivers of growing season soil respiration in four mature stands experiencing different levels of mortality between 2008 and 2012 in southeastern Wyoming, USA. Bark be...
متن کاملClimate and bark beetle effects on forest productivity — linking dendroecology with forest landscape modeling
In forested systems throughout the world, climate influences tree growth and aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP). The effects of extreme climate events (i.e., drought) on ANPP can be compounded by biotic factors (e.g., insect outbreaks). Understanding the contribution of each of these influences on growth requires information atmultiple spatial scales and is essential for understanding ...
