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 year after cutting averaged 37,000 aspen stands per acre and 2.6 feet in height.
