Forest attribute maps: a support for small area estimation of forest disturbances

Annals of Forest Science
Key Message Forest attribute maps generated using national forest inventory and remote sensing data can be used to quantify forest attributes (i.e., growing stock volume, basal area) affected by disturbance events (like bark-beetle induced damage ...

Double-spined bark beetle (Ips duplicatus) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae): a new host - Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii)

Journal of Forest Science, 2015
Spruces (Picea spp.) are considered to be the primary host trees of the double-spined bark beetle Ips duplicatus (Sahlberg, 1836), but occurrences on pines (Pinus spp.) are often reported. This paper documents the first recorded successful development of

Changes in understory vegetation including invasive weeds following mountain pine beetle outbreaks

Trees, Forests and People, 2020
Bark beetle outbreaks alter forests in many ways including stand structure, fuels and fire behavior, wildlife habitat, and aesthetic value. Less understood are the effects outbreaks have on understory vegetation, despite the importance for overstory ...

Snow Gum Dieback Enhances Trunk Monoterpene Emissions in the Australian Alps

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Canopy decline is increasingly prevalent in high‐elevation snow gum (Eucalyptus pauciflora) forests across the Australian Alps. This phenomenon, known as snow gum dieback, is associated with infestations by the wood‐boring beetle, Phoracantha mastersi.

Stump and Site Factor Analysis After Sanitary Logging of Bark Beetle-Infested Forests

South-East European Forestry
Coniferous forests cover 41% of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with Norway spruce (Picea abies) being an ecologically and economically important species. Bark beetles, especially the European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus), pose a major threat, often ...

Climate-induced challenges of Norway spruce in Northern Austria

Trees, Forests and People, 2020
A dramatic increase in bark-beetle (Ips typographus) damage in Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) forests occured in the provinces Upper and Lower Austria in the past decade with the beetle outbreak likely driven by climate change. Water shortage in

Strip cropping in practice: Higher slug abundance despite a higher number of slug‐predating carabid species

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
To avoid increased slug damage in strip cropping fields in slug‐prone areas, potential slug‐source crops should be spatially separated from slug‐sensitive crops. However, an increase in slug abundance should not deter the adoption of strip cropping as higher slug damage in strip cropping systems was rarely observed by farmers.

Moose indifferent to canopy loss from forest disturbance by bark beetles

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
Moose showed strikingly similar patterns of habitat selection before and after widespread forest disturbance following an infestation of bark beetles. Our findings indicate that beetle‐kill does not appreciably alter habitat quality for moose and highlight the importance of riparian areas in sustaining moose as they contend with changing forests ...

Meteorological versus spatial drivers of the spatial synchrony of forest insect pest outbreaks in North America

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Spatial synchrony of population fluctuations has major consequences for the impacts of forest insect pest outbreaks at regional scales. We tested the predictions that the strength and drivers of this synchrony would differ among species according to their dispersal abilities and feeding guilds.

Drought and Suboptimal Habitats Shape Norway Spruce Vulnerability to Bark Beetle Outbreaks in Białowieża Forest, Poland

Land
Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) is experiencing large-scale decline across Central Europe, with climate warming and bark beetle (Ips typographus L.) outbreaks as primary drivers.
