Fire weather drives daily area burned and observations of fire behavior in mountain pine beetle affected landscapes

In the western United States, mountain pine beetles (MPBs) have caused tree mortality across 7% of the forested area over the past three decades, leading to concerns of increased fire activity in MPB-affected landscapes. While fire behavior modeling suggests MPB-associated changes in fuels may influ...
