  • 2004 Bark Beetles
    BARK BEETLE CONDITIONS NORTHERN REGION 2004 Ken Gibson USDA Forest Service Northern Region Forest Health Protection Missoula Field Office December 2004 BARK BEETLE CONDITIONS Northern Region 2004 REGIONAL SUMMARY Although late fall has turned out to be atypically dry, most of the Region received above normal amounts of precipitation during calendar year 2004. Most of Montana, and especially the eastern portions, have not completely broken out of the 4- to 5-year drought; however, growing conditions for most bark beetle hosts improved markedly throughout the Region. Despite improved conditions, long-term drought affects are not easily overcome. Too, many bark beetle species are at extremely high levels and will not respond to improved host conditions for a year or so. Those latter two factors combined to result in an increase in infested area by most bark beetle species across the Region. Unfortunately, less-than-optimal weather conditions late in the season prevented aerial survey of all beetle-infested areas. Approximately 85% of the forested portions of the 24 reporting areas were flown. While some areas appeared to be less impacted, for most of the Region, and particularly Montana; both aerial and ground-collected data showed still- increasing bark beetle infestations for most species. Mountain pine beetle-infested areas increased in many locations surveyed; however, in some locations, intensity of beetle-caused mortality is declining due to host depletion. Decreases in infested area recorded on the Lolo National Forest (NF), however, is a reflection of the amount of area flown—not necessarily an indication that the outbreak, overall, is waning. In total, considerably more infested acres were recorded in 2004 than in 2003; despite some heavily infested areas having not been flown.
