The consequence of keeping fire and forest management out of the woods is that trees grow thick and slow. Their cambium is thin and the trees are stressed all the time due to competition with their neighbors. Beetles move in, kill off a few and get a real population build up which then spreads somewhat like wildfire.

A well-managed forest wouldn't have as much of that because the trees would have thick cambium layers and would tend to pitch out beetle attacks before a critical population mass gets built up.
