The effects of prescribed burning on mountain pine beetle in lodgepole pine / [by] Les Safranyik ... [et al.]. : Fo46-17/391E-PDF
This report of Natural Resources Canada's Pacific Forestry Centre assesses the incidence of attack and brood production by the mountain pine beetle in stands of lodgepole pine after a controlled 600-hectare burn in central British Columbia. Results show that in trees attacked before the burn, brood density was significantly reduced in the two highest burn intensity classes. The year after the fire, mean attack, egg gallery and brood density in all burn intensity classes were considerably lower than outside the burn. On a per-attack basis, however, brood survival in trees within the burn was similar to that in trees outside it.
