Mechanized Timber Harvesting To Improve Ruffed Grouse Habitat, Sigurd J. Dolgaard, Gordon W. Gullion, Jeffry C. Haas

Aspen Bibliography

Some 40 percent of Minnesota's 17 million acres of commercial forest land is in small private ownerships (Stone 1966:6); often, maintenance of wildlife is a prominent owner objective.

Aspen Forest After Harvest, Norbert V. Debyle

Aspen Bibliography

Aspen is a unique forest tree with respect to regeneration. It produces abundant root suckers, up to 40,000 per acre are common, after clearcutting or fire removes the parent stand. The rapidly growing sucker stand competes well with other vegetation, but is susceptible to destruction by excessive ungulate browsing. Clearcut areas produce more streamflow and more growth on shrubs and herbaceous vegetation than does the uncut forest. The patchwork of age classes that results from even-age management optimizes wildlife habitat requirements for several desired species.

Effects Of Clear-Cutting On Nutrient Losses In Aspen Forests On Three Soil Types In Michigan, Curtis J. Richardson, Jeffrey A. Lund

Aspen Bibliography

The effects of clear-cutting on NO^-₃, NH⁺₄, PO^3-₄, K⁺, Ca²⁺, Na⁺, Fe²⁺, and Mg²⁺ losses were evaluated in three 60-year-old aspen stands in northern lower Michigan.

Frost Damage In Poplar On The Prairies, Harry Zalasky

Aspen Bibliography

Frost cankers in poplar are freeze-killed areas of bark and wood around which woody calluses develop and form buris and frost ribs. Frost dieback is a freeze-killed segment of the stem at the base, tip, or mid-portion of a branch or leader. It may or may not enhance natural pruning or poplar branches depending on whether the basal parts are damaged or alive and able to form abscission layers. In addition to abscission, low temperature affects increment, growth patterns, and vigor of poplar. Tree become stunted from persistent leader dieback. Suckers, crooks, and sweeps also characterize many stands of poplar. …

Aspen Potential - A Land Manager's Viewpoint, Bruce B. Hronek

Aspen Bibliography

From a land manager's viewpoint, the management of aspen has been lacking. However, the potentials of aspen as a viable and meaningful species that will contribute much to the forest environment and economics is both possible and practical.

Perspective On Particleboards From Populus Spp., Robert L. Geimer

Aspen Bibliography

Populus species particleboards have a high compression ratio resulting in high bending strength. Their low-porosity edges, advantageous in furniture manufacture, dictate close moisture content control in production.

Aspen roundwood is the primary raw material for composition structural sheathing. Populus utilization will likely increase as material sources expand and as new product develop.

Aspen Resource In The Southwest, Darrell W. Crawford

Aspen Bibliography

There is a relatively large source of unused aspen in the Southwest. If markets can be developed, there are challenging opportunities to utilize more of this fiber. Most aspen in the Southwest is classified in the marginal component because of steep slopes, accessibility and low market values. To meet the logging constraints of this component is a real challenge to prospective purchasers. However, commercial opportunities are feasible on the Carson, Santa Fe, Apache and Kaibab National Forests.
