Forest Service. Northern Region. State & Private Forestry, Bousfield, Wayne E., Bennett, D. D. A multistage sampling survey to measure annual and cumulative mortality of lodgepole pine by mountain pine beetle was conducted on the Beaverhead and Gallatin National Forests, 1978-79. The survey area, 270,000 acres, was stratified into three intensity classes from aerial sketchmapping. This was followed by large scale (1:6,000) aerial photography, photographic interpretation, and ground truth measurements. Estimates of the number of lodgepole killed by mountain pine beetle in 1977 were 1,270,617 trees and 24.2 million cubic feet. The number of total standing dead within the survey boundaries was estimated at 3,117,888 trees and 62.2 million cubic feet. This total standing dead represents 31.4 percent of the total basal area.

Forest Service. Northern Region. State & Private Forestry, McGregor, Mark D., Bennett, D. D. Mountain pine beetle populations developed to epidemic level in 1970 on the Hebgen Lake Ranger District. Infested acreage increased from 78,000 in 1977 to 79,061 in 1978. More than 4 million trees (238 MMBF) were killed in 1978. Cold temperatures during December 1978 may cause a significant decline in the beetle population, resulting in a decline in the number of newly attacked trees in 1979. Potential mortality from the beetle can be reduced and prevented through an accelerated program of (1) logging infested trees, and (2) silvicultural treatment of green and infested stands to reduce the inventory of large diameter highly preferred trees. High valued lodgepole pine in recreation and administrative sites should be sprayed with the preventative chemical, Sevimo1-4, to protect trees from beetle attack until the epidemic declines.

Overwintering mountain pine beetle populations were sampled at 11 sites during February and March 1979. Effects of the extreme cold varied from site to site, with larval mortality ranging from 6 percent to 100 percent. As a result, beetle populations will likely be reduced substantially in some areas and affected little in others.
