Description

Extended periods of extreme cold (below -38°C) can cause up to 95 per cent mortality of over-wintering mountain pine beetles, which is required to suppress populations. These maps display predicted per cent mortality, based on a mountain pine beetle overwinter mortality model used by the province to predict per cent mortality based on winter temperatures and location data. These mortality predictions, combined with aerial surveys and ground assessments conducted in August/September, help the province prioritize areas for single tree treatment and timber harvest control tactics implemented in the fall and winter.

Description

Heli-GPS surveys use rotary-wing aircraft to pinpoint the locations of mountain pine beetle -killed pine trees. Surveys are conducted from early-August to mid-September when the colour of pine trees killed by mountain pine beetles during the previous year makes them distinguishable from older mountain pine beetle-killed pine trees. The aerial survey area typically covers areas where mountain pine beetle populations are actively killing trees in susceptible pine forests.
