MODEL 2: Dynamics of Mountain Pine Beetle Populations in British Columbia
Modeling the mountain pine beetle epidemic using a probabilistic clustering approach
OBJECTIVE: To predict the impact of the mountain pine beetle (MPB) epidemic on the lodgepole pinetree population in British Columbia (BC), we developed a mathematical model that describes
the spread of the MPB population across BC from 1999-2010. We applied the model to simulate the spread
of the Mountain Pine Beetle (MPB) in the upcoming 10 years from 2010-2020 . Then, we used the model to predict key locations in BC where we may install the iSynthase “TrapBox” product to effectively control the MPB epidemic. Lastly, we propose a formula to estimate the cost required to implement a MPB control strategy.
