Comparison of understory burning and mechanical site preparation to regenerate lodgepole pine stands killed by MPB

Menu

Controlled burns may be an inexpensive way to regenerate and decrease flammability in lodgepole pine stands killed by mountain pine beetle (MPB).

The project will determine the usefulness of burning to prepare for pine regeneration. This project has the potential to improve pine regeneration after MPB attack.
