Pando's Pulse: Vital Signs Signal Need For Course Correction At World-Renowned Aspen Forest, Paul C. Rogers
Pando's Pulse: Vital Signs Signal Need For Course Correction At World-Renowned Aspen Forest, Paul C. Rogers
Aspen Bibliography
Upland aspen (Populus spp.) forests contribute significantly to biodiversity in their circumboreal role as keystone species. As aspen ecosystems flourish or diminish, myriad dependent species follow suit. The 43-hectare Pando aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) clone in Utah, USA, is thought to be the largest living organism on earth, but is faltering due to chronic herbivory. Long-term resilience in aspen communities, including Pando, rests on successful recruitment of vegetative suckers that are nutritiously desirable to browsing ungulates. Here, I evaluate aspen reproduction alongside numerous vital indicators of Pando's status in the first trend assessment of this embattled iconic forest. …
Oregon Aspen Project, Forest Restoration Partnership
Oregon Aspen Project, Forest Restoration Partnership
Aspen Bibliography
The Oregon Aspen Project was initiated in response to the decline of aspen groves in Oregon and throughout the Western United States, and the lack of information to guide managers interested in stewardship to enhance this resource. There were three central goals and accompanying objectives for this project which are listed below. The project accomplishments are provided below each bulleted objective

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

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.

Effect Of An Aspen Clearcutting On Water Yield And Quality In Northern Minnesota, Elon S. Verry
Effect Of An Aspen Clearcutting On Water Yield And Quality In Northern Minnesota, Elon S. Verry
Aspen Bibliography
The impact of different forest types on streamflow or groundwater recharge must be considered in evaluating multiple-use alternatives. The impact of species conversion on streamflow has been directly measured at the Coweeta Experimental Watersheds in North Carolina. However, the use of net precipitation1 data, with appropriate cautions, provides a practical basis for estimating water yield differences between forest types where long-term streamflow comparisons are not available.
Cattle Use Of A Sprayed Aspen Parkland Range, J.E. Hilton, A.W. Bailey
Cattle Use Of A Sprayed Aspen Parkland Range, J.E. Hilton, A.W. Bailey
Aspen Bibliography
Aspen parkland range in central Alberta that had been treated with a herbicide two years prior to the study had greater grazing use of the sprayed forest vegetation than did the untreated forest.
Possibilities Of Managing Aspen, Paul Zehngraff
Possibilities Of Managing Aspen, Paul Zehngraff
Aspen Bibliography
The management of aspen or popple (Populus tremuloides) has received little attention in the past, largely because of the former abundant supply of other and more valuable tree species in the Lake States. Be- cause of a rapidly expanding market for all forest products during the past decade, particularly during the war, the attention and ingenuity of industry have turned toward the use of aspen. As a consequence, aspen has now become one of the important pulpwood species in the Lake States, and is used for many other products. That it will retain its place for some time to come …
