Forest Insect and Disease Risk

What this dataset contains

Share of tree basal area projected to die from insects and diseases from 2024 to 2038, from the USDA Forest Service national risk map. The 2024 National Insect and Disease Risk Map combines 172 pest and pathogen hazard models. See where forests stand to lose the most live trees to bark beetles, defoliators, root diseases and other pests, and compare risk with fire history, ownership and terrain.
