Abstract

Even-age ponderosa pine stands in the Black Hills can be rated for infestation by the mountain pine beetle on the basis of mean stand diameter, stand density, and spacing.Tree spacing distances are derived for stands of different hazards and provide guidelines by which high-hazard stands can be converted to low-hazard stands.
