Prescribed Fire Effects on Bark Beetle Activity and Tree Mortality in Southwestern Ponderosa Pine Forests (2008, background): “Thus, prescribed fire may result in levels of tree mortality that are inconsistent with management goals (Sullivan et al., 2003).”
Fire and fire surrogate treatment effects on leaf litter arthropods in a western Sierra Nevada mixed-conifer forest (2006, background): “beetles are attracted specifically to burning (Hanula et al., 2002; Sullivan et al., 2003), and thinning treatments have been shown to be attractive to these beetles as well (Witcosky, 1986).”
Interactions among fire, insects and pathogens in coniferous forests of the interior western United States and Canada (2006, background): “This concern extends to the use of prescribed burns to manage pine forests in other regions of North America ( McCullough et al. , 1998; Santoro et al. , 2001; Sullivan et al. , 2003 ).”
Tree mortality from fire and bark beetles following early and late season prescribed fires in a Sierra Nevada mixed-conifer forest (2006, background): “Work in a variety of systems has generally shown that measures of fire intensity are positively associated with tree susceptibility to attack (Ryan and Amman, 1994; Sullivan et al., 2003; Wallin et al., 2003).”
Effects of fire and mechanical wounding on Pinus resinosa resin defenses, beetle attacks, and pathogens (2006, unknown): “palustris (Sullivan et al., 2003).”
Overstory tree mortality resulting from reintroducing fire to long-unburned longleaf pine forests: the importance of duff moisture (2007, background): “The mechanism responsible for increased mortality caused by restoration fires is unclear, with different investigators emphasizing damage to canopy (Ryan and Reinhardt 1988; Menges and Deyrup 20011, stem vascular tissue (Ryan and Frandsen 1991; McHugh and Kolb 2003), and root tissues (Swezy and Agee”
