Analytical Method to Assess Spruce Beetle Impacts on White Spruce Resources, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska.

摘要

Forest inventory data collected in 1987 from sample plots established on the Kenai Peninsula were analyzed to provide point-in-time estimates of the trend and current status of a spruce beetle infestation. Ground plots were categorized by stage of infestation. Estimates of numbers of live and dead white spruce trees, cubic-foot volume in those trees, and areal extent of infestation were developed and are presented for each stage of infestation.
