This project will quantify the relationship between tree temperature and mountain pine beetle survival. It will provide the biological knowledge and an effective decision-making tool that can be used to develop effective management practices and strategies to slow the spread of MPB in Canada.
Determining MPB's ability to survive and spread will assist Alberta forest management.
