Cooperative Agreement for Affiliated Partner with the Alaska Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU)
Funds research on how beetle-killed spruce forests in Alaska open the door to an invasive tree.
Spruce beetle outbreaks have moved north into Alaska's boreal forests as the climate has warmed, killing large stands of spruce. Dead stands do not just sit empty — something moves in, and this notice funds finding out what.
The invader in question is European bird cherry, and the research traces a chain: beetle kill opens space, the bird cherry moves into it, and that changes whether native spru…
Studying how spruce beetle outbreaks in Alaska's boreal forest let invasive European bird cherry establish and spread, how that invasion then affects native tree regeneration, and how drought and other weather extremes change the interaction between beetle disturbance and invasion. Done through an Alaska CESU partnership under USGS's National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Center.
