DOI: 10.1007/s00442-017-3865-9
Abstract: Recent mountain pine beetle outbreaks in western North America killed millions of lodgepole pine trees, leaving few survivors. However, the mechanism underlying the ability of trees to survive bark beetle outbreaks is unknown, but likely… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11056-019-09733-w
Abstract: Seed orchards play a critical role in reforestation, but often struggle to consistently produce enough seed. A mixture of the less polar gibberellins, GA4 and GA7, has been shown to promote flowering in Pinaceae species,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2017.09.072
Abstract: Abstract New initiatives are emerging to rehabilitate vast expanses of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) recently affected by insect outbreaks and wildfires across western North America. By assessing potential long-term changes in productivity, environmentally-sensitive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.117500
Abstract: Abstract Seedbanks are essential for forest resilience, and disturbance interactions could potentially modify seedbank availability, subsequent forest regeneration patterns, and successional trajectories. Regional mountain pine beetle outbreaks have altered forest structure and seedbanks in fire… read more here.
