Manipulations To Regenerate Aspen Ecosystems, Wayne D. Shepperd Jan 2001

Manipulations To Regenerate Aspen Ecosystems, Wayne D. Shepperd

Aspen Bibliography

Vegetative regeneration of aspen can be initiated through manipulations that provide hormonal stimulation, proper growth environment, and sucker protec- tion—the three elements of the aspen regeneration triangle. The correct course of action depends upon a careful evaluation of the size, vigor, age, and successional status of the existing clone. Soils and site productivity, competition from other plants, and the potential impact of browsing animals upon new regeneration should also be consid- ered. Treatments may include doing nothing, commercial harvest, prescribed fire, mechanical root stimulation, removal of competing vegetation, protection of regenera- tion from herbivory, and in limited circumstances, regenerating aspen …

Aspen Bibliography

Approximately 2.8 million ha of woodlands dominated by quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) are scattered throughout the Western United States (Green and Van Hooser 1983).

Effects Of Annual Burning On Grassland In The Aspen Parkland Of East-Central Alberta, Howard G. Anderson, Arthur W. Bailey Jan 1980

Effects Of Annual Burning On Grassland In The Aspen Parkland Of East-Central Alberta, Howard G. Anderson, Arthur W. Bailey

Aspen Bibliography

Annual early spring burning has markedly altered the physiognomy and species composition of aspen parkland vegetation of east-central Alberta. Burning was conducted in April for at least 24 years when soil moisture was normally high. The number of herbaceous species per quadrat doubled while a number of woody species declined slightly.

Wildlife Habitat Investigations And Management Implications On The Bridger-Teton National Forest, G.E. Gruell, M.S. Boyce, L.D. Hayden Wing Jan 1979

Wildlife Habitat Investigations And Management Implications On The Bridger-Teton National Forest, G.E. Gruell, M.S. Boyce, L.D. Hayden Wing

Aspen Bibliography

Grazing impact by elk and moose has been a point of concern in Jackson Hole for many years. Concern has been primarily directed towards sparsely vegetated south aspects, aspen stands, and willow bottoms. Numerous transects have quantified heavy foliage utilization. Trend studies have been mostly inconclusive. Study of historical narratives have quantified heavy forage utilization. Trend studies have been mostly inconclusive. Study of historical narratives, early photographs and consideration of plant physiology, soils data, and fire ecology have aided interpretations of vegetal trend and plant succession in recent years. Photographs show little change on sparsely vegetated sites. Soils information on …
