Resulting widespread tree mortality has affected forest health, tourism and recreation, the timber industry, public safety, and other values. There is an ongoing need to better understand federal land management approaches to mountain pine beetle (MPB) and other disturbances on public lands, as well as the variables that support or inhibit effective responses. This National Science Foundation-funded research investigated MPB response through case studies on national forestlands in five states, focusing on feedbacks between social and ecological systems during outbreaks.en-USCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USMountain pine beetlePublic lands--United States--ManagementForest managementStrategies for addressing mountain pine beetle outbreaks on national forestsOther
