Spatiotemporal patterns of observed bark beetle-caused tree mortality in British Columbia and the western United States

Summary

This DataBasin Gallery contains 415 datasets on bark beetle-caused tree mortality in British Columbia and the western United States. Outbreaks of aggressive bark beetle species cause widespread tree mortality, affecting timber production, wildlife habitat, wildfire, forest composition and structure, biogeochemical cycling, and biogeophysical processes. As a result, agencies responsible for forest management in the United States and British Columbia conduct aerial surveys to map these forest disturbances. Here we combined aerial surveys from British Columbia (2001– 2010) and the western conterminous United States (1997–2010), produced 1-km2 grids of the area of crown mortality from bark beetle attack, and analyzed spatial and temporal [...]
