- •
We analyzed effects of previous mountain pine beetle mortality on fire severity.
- •
Fire severity in all strata decreased with greater mountain pine beetle mortality.
- •
The relationship between fire and beetle severities depended on burning conditions.
- •
The study area appears to be resilient to multiple successive disturbances.
