DOI: 10.1007/s10021-017-0175-3
Abstract: AbstractClimate-driven increases in wildfires, drought conditions, and insect outbreaks are critical threats to forest carbon stores. In particular, bark beetles are important disturbance agents although their long-term interactions with future climate change are poorly understood.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.agrformet.2018.08.004
Abstract: Abstract The projected increase in the frequency and severity with which bark beetle disturbances occur is forecasted to be partially driven by increases in drought episodes. Drought is widely considered to predispose host conifer trees… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2019.109792
Abstract: Windfelled Norway spruce (Picea abies) trees play a crucial role in triggering large-scale outbreaks of the European spruce bark beetle Ips typographus. Outbreak management therefore strives to remove windfelled trees to reduce the risk of… read more here.
