The moisture content and opening of serotinous cones from lodgepole pine killed by the mountain pine beetle

Abstract: The aging lodgepole pine forests of Western Canada have become increasingly susceptible to insect and disease outbreaks. This is evident by the rise of mountain beetle (MPB) populations in British Columbia and Alberta. Serotinous cones of lodgepole pine require heat to open and the moisture content (MC) of cones is considered to influence the opening process. However, little is known about how tree conditions (live and dead) may affect this process. We evaluated the effects of MPB-killed trees and cone age on … Show more
