Plans are being finalized to continue assessment of annual mortality due to
mountain pine beetle during the current field season. Work will be conducted
in infested lodgepole pine forests in Montana, and in the Black Hills test
site where refinements in sampling design are being evaluated to improve
reliability of estimates.
