Objective

To provide a spatially and temporally explicit projection of the current MPB outbreak at a provincial scale. The purpose of providing the projection was to give senior managers and scientists information, at a provincial scale, which could be used in their decision-making processes.

Models Built

  • Mountain pine beetle projection model - discrete state transition model parameterized with 1999-2005 survey data.
  • Provincial-scale forest management model

Comments

This is an interesting example the management and beetle submodels were built by different developers working in parallel. This required a degree of cooperation and collaboration we had not tried before. I think the result was a better model.
