Dataset of mountain pine beetle outbreak dynamics and direct control in Cypress Hills, SK

The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled "Mountain pine beetle outbreak duration and pine mortality depend on direct control effort" [1]. This article provides presence of mountain pine beetle infested trees detected by the Saskatchewan Forest Service on a grid covering the spatial extent of the Saskatchewan portion of the Cypress Hills interprovincial park between 2006 and 2018. For each grid cell, associated ecological and environmental covariates, such as topography, weather and vegetation, are also provided. These data cover the spatio-temporal extent of an almost entire mountain pine beetle outbreak and contribute to the understanding of mountain pine beetle outbreak dynamics.

本文所提供的数据集关联于题为《山松甲虫（mountain pine beetle）暴发持续时长与松树死亡率取决于直接防控力度》（Mountain pine beetle outbreak duration and pine mortality depend on direct control effort）[1]的研究论文。本数据集收录了2006年至2018年间，萨斯喀彻温省林业厅在覆盖赛普里斯山跨省公园（Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park）萨斯喀彻温片区空间范围的网格中检测到的受山松甲虫侵染的树木存在情况。针对每个网格单元，本数据集同时提供了与之关联的生态学与环境协变量，涵盖地形、气象与植被等要素。该数据集覆盖了几乎完整的一次山松甲虫暴发事件的时空范围，可为深入理解山松甲虫暴发动态提供数据支撑。
