Developing A Field Indicator For Suckering Ability Of Quaking Aspen, Abbey M. Hudler Oksness
Developing A Field Indicator For Suckering Ability Of Quaking Aspen, Abbey M. Hudler Oksness
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Quaking aspen is an ecologically valuable deciduous tree species in the high elevation environment typical across many parts of western North America. It is a clonal tree species which primarily depends on vegetative regeneration by root suckering after an aboveground disturbance, e.g., wildfire, removes the stems. A flush of suckers will be stimulated after a disturbance and the resulting regeneration relies on available resources from the undamaged root system for resprouting. Due to wildfire suppression efforts of the last century, many aspen stands are considered mature, overmature, or decadent and lack regeneration to replace the overstory mortality. In the absence …
Evaluation Of Burned Aspen Communities In Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Charles E. Kay
Evaluation Of Burned Aspen Communities In Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Charles E. Kay
Aspen Bibliography
Aspen has been declining in Jackson Hole for many years, a condition generally attributed to the fact that lightning fires have been aggressively suppressed since the early 1900s. It is also believed that burning will successfully regenerate aspen stands despite high elk numbers. To test this hypothesis, I evaluated 467 burned and 495 adjacent, unburned aspen stands at eight different locations within Jackson Hole. Aspen suckering was stimulated by burning, but most aspen stands still failed to produce new stems greater than 2 m tall where ungulate use was moderate or high. Only when elk use was low were burned …

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).

Aspen Sucker Damage And Defect In Colorado Clearcut Areas, Thomas E. Hinds, W.D. Shepperd
Aspen Sucker Damage And Defect In Colorado Clearcut Areas, Thomas E. Hinds, W.D. Shepperd
Aspen Bibliography
Substantial acreages of aspen in the Rocky Mountains are being regenerated by clearcutting; however, there is little information on the quality of the suckers that reestablish in these areas. Whether the new stands will be more or less defective than their predecessors is unknown.

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

Effect Of Cold Storage On Development Of Suckers On Aspen Root Cuttings, George A. Schier, R.B. Campbell
Effect Of Cold Storage On Development Of Suckers On Aspen Root Cuttings, George A. Schier, R.B. Campbell
Aspen Bibliography
The effect of cold storage on suckering ability of excised roots was determined for 10 aspen clones. Root cuttings were collected in June, August, and October and stored for from 7 to 42 days at 2°C. In addition, cuttings from dormant trees were stored for 175 days to determine if they had cold requirements for suckering. Among clones, there were large differences in capacity to produce root suckers. Cold storage had a small but significant effect on the formation and growth of suckers on root cuttings collected in June and August. As a rule, clones responded similarly to cold storage. …

Deterioration Of Aspen Clones In The Middle Rocky Mountains, George A. Schier
Deterioration Of Aspen Clones In The Middle Rocky Mountains, George A. Schier
Aspen Bibliography
The frequent failure of deteriorating aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) clones to regenerate vegetatively by root suckers was studied by comparing the suckering capacity of these clones with adjacent healthy clones. Sucker production from root cuttings was used to evaluate the suckering capacity of a clone. Scarcity of regeneration in deteriorating clones was found to be unrelated to the ability of roots to sucker. A hypothesis based on the apical dominance phenomenon is presented to account for the low numbers of suckers produced by deteriorating clones. Stand data, sucker densities, and root ages of the clones are compared. Aspects of aspen …

Yields From 18-Year-Old Aspen Via Total Tree Harvesting, M.K. Benson, D.W. Einspahr
Yields From 18-Year-Old Aspen Via Total Tree Harvesting, M.K. Benson, D.W. Einspahr
Aspen Bibliography
Described are the results of harvesting the above-ground parts of an 18-year-old aspen stand and the observations made on the initial suckering of the new stand. The yields for the stand of 17.7 cunits per acre were greater than predicted yields of comparable material for the site at age 35. Suckering on the area the first area after cutting averaged 37,000 aspen stems per acre and 2.6 feet in height.
