Aspen For Core Stock, Arlie W. Toole

Aspen Bibliography

During recent years, aspen has been used in the Lake States region for a number of products. The war years in particular showed a marked increase in the use of aspen for pulpwood, box lumber, and many other wood products. The annual cut of aspen lumber in the region increased from approximately 67 million board feet in 1941 to 152 million board feet in 1946. In spite of this increased use, aspen still remains the only major tree species in the Lake States in which annual growth exceeds annual drain. It represents the major forest resource in this region that …

Aspen For Containers, Waldo Sands

Aspen Bibliography

Aspen, because of its abundance in the Lake States, merits special consideration as to future management, utilization, and marketing. Although aspen lumber is used for many purposes, its chief use during the past decade has been for containers (boxes and crates). It gained its greatest prominence as container material during World War II.

Both producers and users of containers need general information as to availability and supply of aspen, its properties and usefulness for container material. With that in mind, this report on the use of aspen for containers has been prepared.

Mechanical Properties Of Aspen, R. P. A. Johnson

Aspen Bibliography

The clear wood of aspen has inherent properties of merit. Several of these properties are familiar to a large proportion of the general public, for some of the common types of matches are made of this wood. The requirements of wood for matches are exacting in that the wood must combine straightness of grain, ease of splitting, ease of working, and toughness To meet such rigid requirements, a wood must be suitable for other uses as well. The fact that aspen is not used more widely for other purposes lies not in the wood itself but in other factors, such …

Aspen Availability And Supply, Clarence D. Chase

Aspen Bibliography

A knowledge of the total and available supply of aspen is basic to a study of the aspen situation. Hence, this paper aims to show the relative position of aspen²/ as a commercial forest type in the Lake States region, both currently and potentially. The data on areas, volumes, and growth are taken from the Forest Survey made in 1933-37, brought up to January 1, 1945, by office calculations including drain studies. Areas by site quality, allowable cut calculations, and volumes of timber available (1945 to I960) are the best estimates that can be made at this time.

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 …

Aspen Properties And Uses, Zigmond A. Zasada

Aspen Bibliography

Because of the large demand for lumber during the last 10 years, and particularly during the war period, aspen has entered many new fields of use. At present there is widespread interest in the possibilities of building new industries and extending the life of old ones by increased use of aspen. Many people are interested in becoming familiar with this wood. This report has been prepared to give general information on the properties and present uses of aspen and also to help in correcting some of the existing erroneous ideas about this wood.

Seeding Grass On Deteriorated Aspen Range, A. Perry Plummer, George Stewart

Aspen Bibliography

The herbaceous undercover on much of the aspen range in the Intermountain region is badly deteriorated. These areas, naturally highly productive, when revegetated can contribute greatly towards a much needed supply of range forage. One of the major obstacles to successful seeding has been the difficulty of getting the seeds covered with soil since both standing and fallen trees interfere with the use of drills, harrows, or other machinery. In the search for methods to overcome this difficulty, it was found that for open aspen stands the covering of seeds is unnecessary when the right precautions are taken in other …

Influence Of Aspen, Young Lodgepole Pine, And Open Grassland Types Upon Factors Affecting Water Yield, E.G. Dunford, C.H. Niederhof

Aspen Bibliography

Burned and cutover lands in the Rocky Mountains present a distinct problem in watershed management. Many of these areas support a cover of grass or aspen rather than their original stand of lodgepole pine or spruce. Generally the new cover provides adequate protection from erosion, but there has been question regarding its other watershed qualities. In order to evaluate some of these qualities this preliminary study was undertaken in Colorado. The results indicate that, from the standpoint of water available for streamflow, aspen and grass are probably superior to a dense coniferous forest.

The Root System Of Aspen, Maurice W. Day

Aspen Bibliography

The quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) is widely distributed. In the Lake States region it occupies a larger area than any other tree species. Because it occupies such a large are and because of the difficult silvicultural problem which it presents, this species demands careful investigation. This present study was initiated with the objective of adding to the knowledge of the silvics of the species.

How To Reseed Utah Range Lands, A. Perry Plummer, Richard M. Hurd, C. Kenneth Pearse

Aspen Bibliography

Additional low cost forage is urgently needed by Utah's range livestock industry. Seeding of depleted tracts in accordance with recently developed methods and principles will help supply this forage and is entirely feasible. Where the value of the increased forage will repay the cost of planting, careful reseeding of selected sites is fully justified.

The important part that reseeding can play in restoring ranges to their former capacity has been demonstrated. Although satisfactory results can be obtained on many sites during average or better years, much more study is needed to insure consistent success in abnormal years and to extend …

Studies In Forest Pathology. Iii. Hypoxylon Canker Of Poplar, J.E. Bier

Aspen Bibliography

It is generally accepted that the economic importance of poplar is increasing, and a more detailed knowledge of the diseases affecting the various species is urgently needed.

This investigation deals with a canker disease found on aspen poplar (Populus tremuloides Michx. and P. grandidentata Michx.) resulting from the attack of the fungus Hypoxylon pruinatum (Klotzsch) Cooke. The heavy mortality due to Hypoxylon canker in widely separated regions clearly indicates this to be a most destructive disease of young aspen. Lorenz and Christensen (15) after making a survey of the disease in the Lake States mention that "Hypoxylon pruinatum …

Weather And Plant-Development Data As Determinants Of Grazing Periods On Mountain Range, David F. Costello, Raymond Price

Aspen Bibliography

Fundamental in economical range-resource management is the determination of proper grazing periods. It is of prime importance to be able to establish a date in the spring when the range has produced sufficient feed to keep livestock in thrifty condition, when it is reasonably safe from excessive trampling and packing of the soil, and when the more important key forage plants have attained sufficient development to withstand grazing use. Such opening dates, as well as the time to defer and rotate grazing and to remove livestock from the range, are dependent in part on the prevailing weather conditions and on …

Quaking Aspen: A Study In Applied Forest Pathology, E.P. Meinecke

Aspen Bibliography

In the management of quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michaux.), as well as of any other species of forest tree, two factors are of decisive influence, namely, the possibility of securing the maximum volume production in sustained yield on a given area and on the other hand that of reducing to a minimum the loss from decay and other injurious factors.

Grazing Periods And Forage Production On The National Forests, Arthur W. Sampson, Harry E. Malmsten

Aspen Bibliography

Stockmen in the West have always had confidence in the adequacy of the native forage crop to provide pasturage for their livestock. Indeed, under normal climatic conditions this enormous natural resource has not failed the grazier, except where it has been called upon to meet unreasonable demands. The productivity of the range has declined sharply, however, wherever the requirements of plant growth have been disregarded for many years in succession. Where there has been too early or too frequent and to heavy grazing, undue trampling, or some other unsatisfactory feature of range use, the results have been uniformly bad. Many …
