Short summary
We simulated mountain pine beetle (MPB) outbreaks under four scenarios for the presence and growth release strength of non-attacked vegetation, and found that: (1) impacts on ecosystem carbon and radiative forcing varied greatly across the four scenarios; (2) the global climatic impact from the current outbreak in British Columbia, Canada, seemed smaller than one month of anthropogenic CO2 emissions; and (3) MPB-killed dead standing trees might hasten post-outbreak vegetation recovery.
