A strategic approach to slow the spread of mountain pine beetle across Canada / prepared for the Forest Pest Working Group of the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers ; Janice Hodge, Barry Cooke, Rory...: Fo79-27/2017E-PDF
"This document presents a strategic approach meant to inform management actions and practices to help contain and limit the eastward spread of MPB. It was prepared in response to a request from the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers Forest Pest Working Group for information about options to slow the spread following a risk assessment (2014) which found that while forests east of Saskatchewan may be less climatically suitable to MPB, their susceptibility to infestations increases. The invasion frontal region as it currently exists between Alberta and Saskatchewan, not only has low climatic suitability for MPB but also represents a bottleneck in pine forest susceptibility and connectivity; which could be suitable for containment"--Executive summary, page ii.
