Landscape-scale quantification of fire-induced change in canopy cover following mountain pine beetle outbreak and timber harvest

•Mountain pine beetle and forest harvest effects on subsequent fire were assessed.•Change in percent canopy cover was calculated from multi-temporal LiDAR.•Higher MPB tree mortality yielded greater fire-induced reduction in canopy cover.•Older harvest treatments also saw greater reduction in canopy...
