Assessing post-fire douglas fir mortality and douglas fir beetle attacks in the northern rocky mountains

This report presents models to predict the likelihood of Douglas-fir mortality and bark beetle infestation following wildfires. The authors developed these tools using data from past fires in Montana and Wyoming, aiming to improve both pre-fire planning and post-fire management decisions. The report details the significant variables influencing tree survival and beetle attacks, such as crown scorch and cambium damage, and includes a supplementary field guide with visual aids and methods for field data collection, providing a practical resource for forest managers.
