Ghost Forests, Continental Divide Edition. Rapid ecological change (collapse) due to complex assault by whitebark pine beetle and white pine blister rust. All brown texture in last image are dead whitebark pine. The green band on top indicates healthy stands due to colder temperatures keeping beetles at bay, I’d guess. @1yellowbuckeye might know for certain. #whitebarkpine #rockymountains #Pinusalbicaulis #ghostforests (at Jackson, Wyoming) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDy2eS5JmJA/?igshid=1s4q7pleyv3b2
