Science-ese (slight understatement edition)

From Sambaraju et al. 2011:

Abundant availability of host trees due to altered disturbance regimes has facilitated an unprecedented, landscape-wide outbreak of this pest in British Columbia and Alberta, Canada, during the past decade.

Translation:

ALL THE TREES ARE DEAD. ALL OF THEM.
