Estimating Plant Biomass For Undergrowth Species Of Northeastern Minnesota Forest Communities, L.F. Ohmann, D.F. Grigal, L.L. Rogers

Aspen Bibliography

Knowledge of the plant biomass comprising a forest community is important to many aspects of multiple-use management. Direct measurement of biomass, however, is expensive and time-consuming to under-take each time biomass information would be useful. Fortunately, other measurements that can be made in the field less expensively or more easily can be used for estimating biomass.

Clone Expansion And Competition Between Quaking And Bigtooth Aspen Suckers After Clearcutting, Donald A. Perala

Aspen Bibliography

The ability of quaking and bigtooth aspens (Populus tremuloids Michx., P. grandidentata Michx.) to vegetatively regenerate dense stands of root sprouts (suckers) is well documented (Brinkman and Roe 1975). Tens of thousands of suckers per hectare are commonly produced when stands are killed by fire or removed by clearcutting.
