Dead trees in Yellowstone are primarily caused by the mountain pine beetle, which is exacerbated by climate change, and by wildfires, particularly the 1988 fires. These standing dead trees, especially the whitebark pine, create a growing wildfire danger and impact the ecosystem, with the central-western part of the park and areas near roads and infrastructure being particularly affected.
