Figure 1.
Forest structures of lodgepole pine stands 21–28 years after a mountain pine beetle epidemic.
Pictured are stands A) without dwarf mistletoe and B) with severe dwarf mistletoe and high levels of witches’ brooming.

Linear mixed models of stand attributes on dwarf mistletoe rating.
Scatterplots of linear mixed models of A) stand density (stems/ha), B) stand basal area (m2/ha), and C) backtransformed natural logarithm of canopy volume (m3) on dwarf mistletoe rating (DMR) with 95% confidence intervals.

Generalized linear mixed models of proportion of lodgepole pine in cohorts on BIC preferred explanatory variables.
Scatterplots of generalized linear mixed models of A) proportion of lodgepole pine in the dominant cohort on dwarf mistletoe rating (DMR), B) proportion of lodgepole pine in the intermediate cohort on stand density and C) proportion of lodgepole pine in the suppressed cohort on DMR with 95% confidence intervals.

Linear mixed models of cohort height on dwarf mistletoe rating.
Scatterplots of linear mixed models of A) cohort height of dominant lodgepole pine (m) with stand density fixed at its mean, B) cohort height of intermediate lodgepole pine (m), and C) cohort height of suppressed lodgepole pine (m) on dwarf mistletoe rating (DMR) with 95% confidence intervals.
