Mountain Pine Beetle Decision Support Tool (MPBDST)
Welcome to the Mountain Pine Beetle (MPB) Decision Support Tool (DST) web application. This is a pre-release version of the application for demonstration purposes.
The DST is designed to help you assess the impacts of different levels of MPB infestation, and various silviculture interventions, on post-attack stand development.
Users define simulation scenarios by specifying growth model, ecosite, stand structure, species composition, stand age, MPB severity, and silviculture intervention. For each defined scenario, the application searches the pre-populated Answer Database and reports stand growth projections.
Simulation results include tabular and graphical reports of standard mensurational stand growth attributes, and post-MPB wood quality metrics, for 100 years and 10 years post-attack, respectively.
Project Partners:
The MPBDST was developed under contract by The Forestry Corp. for the Foothills Growth and Yield Association (FGYA). Technical Direction and assistance were provided by Dr. Dick Dempster, Don Podlubny, Shongming Huang, Dr. Ellen MacDonald, Willi Fast, Yanguo Qin, Cosmin Tansanu, Brian Maier and Spiros Sioutis.
