Development and Assessment of 30-Meter Pine Density Maps for Landscape-Level Modeling of Mountain Pine Beetle Dynamics

by Benjamin A. Crabb and Crabb

Forecasting spatial patterns of mountain pine beetle (MPB) population success requires spatially explicit information on host pine distribution. We developed a means of producing spatially explicit datasets of pine density at 30-m resolution using existing geospatial datasets of vegetation composition and structure. Because our ultimate goal is to model MPB population success, three study areas in the western United States that have experienced recent...
