• Increased early growth rates decrease longevities of conifers in subalpine forests (2009, background): “An apparent tradeoff between longevity and growth rates or metabolic rates of trees has long been noted (Rudenscho ¨ld 1746, Molisch 1929, Backman 1943, Schulman 1943, 1954).”
• Interactions among fire, insects and pathogens in coniferous forests of the interior western United States and Canada (2006, background): “Bebi et al. (2003) also noted that the interactions they studied between fire and spruce beetle outbreaks were spatially highly variable in relation to topographic variables.”
• Disturbance, structure, and composition: Spruce beetle and Engelmann spruce forests on the Markagunt Plateau, Utah (2007, background): “Indeed, the evidence for large-scale wildfires in SB-killed forests is mixed, with some corroboration (Bigler et al., 2005), some evidence of interaction with other disturbances (Kulakowski et al., 2003; Kulakowski and Veblen, 2002), and some refutation of increased fire potential after beetle outbr”
• Forest structure and regeneration following a mountain pine beetle epidemic in southeastern Wyoming (2012, background): “While the impact of bark beetle outbreaks on fire susceptibility and fire behavior is still debated (i.e., Bebi et al., 2003; Lynch et al., 2006; Page and Jenkins, 2007; Simard et al., 2010), the result of fire in these forests will be similar.”
• Spruce Beetle Biology, Ecology and Management in the Rocky Mountains: An Addendum to Spruce Beetle in the Rockies (2014, unknown): “Engelmann spruce [4,12,13,108,109], lodgepole pine [110–112], whitebark pine [113,114], and Douglas-fir [115–117].”
• Disturbance refugia within mosaics of forest fire, drought, and insect outbreaks (2020, background): “Conversely, stand- replacing fire can generate patches of younger trees that will be less affected by subsequent bark beetle- induced mortality (Bebi et al. 2003).”
• Disturbance and landscape dynamics in a changing world. (2010, background): “For example, there is substantial interest in how the extensive outbreaks of bark beetles may affect future wildfire in western North America (e.g., Bebi et al. 2003, Jenkins et al. 2008, Derose and Long 2009).”
