Wind And Fire: Rapid Shifts In Tree Community Composition Following Multiple Disturbances In The Southern Boreal Forest, Elias Anoszko, Lee E. Frelich, Roy L. Rich, Peter B. Reich
Aspen Bibliography
Under a warming climate, the southern boreal forest of North America is expected to see a doubling in fire frequency and potential for increased wind disturbance over the next century. Although boreal forests are often considered fire-adapted, projected increases in disturbance frequency will likely result in novel combinations of disturbances with severities and impacts on community composition outside historic norms. Using a network of repeatedly measured vegetation monitoring plots, we followed changes in tree community composition in areas of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW), in Minnesota, USA, experiencing disturbances ranging from severe windstorms or wildfires to areas affected …

Aspen Wood Products Utilization: Impact Of The Lake States Composites Industry, John A. Youngquist, Henry Spelter
Aspen Wood Products Utilization: Impact Of The Lake States Composites Industry, John A. Youngquist, Henry Spelter
Aspen Bibliography
The utilization of Lake States aspen for value-added products has increased dramatically in the last 15 to 18 years. This paper reviews aspen utilization for solid and composite wood products since 1970, discusses the forecasted future demand for wood-based composites, and reviews research that may influence future utilization of aspen in the Lake States.

Opportunities For Aspen For Furniture, H.W. Reynolds, P.K. Donahue
Opportunities For Aspen For Furniture, H.W. Reynolds, P.K. Donahue
Aspen Bibliography
Aspen is by far the most important hardwood in Minnesota. In addition to paper and oriented strandboard, approximately 100 million board feet of aspen are sawn annually. NRRI has a research and development program to convert the best 10 percent of this aspen lumber to fine furniture. Since this 10 million board feet of lumber is only one-quarter of one percent of the total U.S. furniture used we are hunting for a small market niche.

Tall Shrub Dynamics In Northern Minnesota Aspen And Conifer Forests, J.C. Balogh, D.F. Grigal
Tall Shrub Dynamics In Northern Minnesota Aspen And Conifer Forests, J.C. Balogh, D.F. Grigal
Aspen Bibliography
Tall shrubs are a dynamic component of upland forests in the Lake States (Balogh 1983, Dunn 1986, Ohmann and Ream 1971). They are an integral part of forest element cycles, competitors with overstory for growth and reproduction, essential to post-harvest site stabilization, and a source of wildlife cover and browse (Comerford and White 1977, Dunn 1986, Robinette 1972, Tappeiner 1971).

Estimating Plant Biomass For Undergrowth Species Of Northeastern Minnesota Forest Communities, L.F. Ohmann, D.F. Grigal, L.L. Rogers
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.

Productivity of ecosystems depends to a large extent on the quantity of available nutrients. In natural ecosystems, much of the nutrient stock is unavailable because it is bound in live and dead organic matter. Additions to the pool of available nutrients come from several sources, but the largest and most important one is dead organic matter. Therefore, the productivity of ecosystems is often said to be related to the rate of nutrient release from, or the mineralization of, organic litter (Ghilarov 1971, Satchell 1974).
