This project, led by Allan Carroll and Harry Nelson, Clive Welham, and Brad Seely from UBC, builds on a previous Mountian Pine Beetle Program-supported project that developed MPBSpread, a model that how management action or inaction affected the eastward spread of MBP.
As described in this QuickNote, this project extends MPBSpread to also model economic costs to different management scenarios, including timber vlue lost, detection and control costs, regeneration/rehabilitaiton costs, etc.
