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.

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.
Cryptosphaeria Canker And Libertella Decay Of Aspen, Thomas E. Hinds
Cryptosphaeria Canker And Libertella Decay Of Aspen, Thomas E. Hinds
Aspen Bibliography
A recently discovered, widely distributed canker disease of aspen and other poplars throughout the Rocky Mountain region is described. Inoculations with ascospore and conidial isolates of Cryptosphaeria populina show the fungus is capable of causing branch, sprout, and sapling mortality, trunk cankers, and the discoloration and decay of aspen stems previously associated with its imperfect stage, Libertella sp. The greatest average canker elongation 50 mo after September inoculations was 33.5 cm with sapwood decay and discoloration extending to 401 cm. The fungus caused an average weight loss of 13.5% in bark, 27.0% in sapwood, and 19.1% in heartwood blocks. Incidence …
