A Rocky Mountain conifer evergreen slope of Routt National Forest viewed from Rabbit Ears Pass near Steamboat Springs,
Colorado, July, 2007, is turning reddish-brown as grain-sized mountain pine beetles and spruce beetles burrow into trees and kill them. Both beetles are native to the forests of Western North America, and they have already decimated millions of acres of evergreen forests, from British Columbia, Canada, to Chihuahua, Mexico. From 1996 to 2006, Colorado lost 1.5 million acres of its 14.5 million acres of national forest.
Historically, northern and high-altitude conifer forests have been protected by sustained subzero winter lows or spring or fall cold snaps that kill off most wintering beetles and larvae. According to the Canadian Forest Service and numerous scientific studies, warmer winters and longer summers throughout subarctic North America and the Rocky Mountains have allowed massive infestations at altitudes and latitudes previously beyond the reach of the beetles. In some regions, longer summers
have also allowed both beetles to shift from a 2-year to a 1-year life cycle. |
