Future Dominance By Quaking Aspen Expected Following Short-Interval, Compounded Disturbance Interaction, Robert A. Andrus, Sarah J. Hart, Niko Tutland, Thomas T. Veblen
Aspen Bibliography
The spatial overlap of multiple ecological disturbances in close succession has the capacity to alter trajectories of ecosystem recovery. Widespread bark beetle outbreaks and wildfire have affected many forests in western North America in the past two decades in areas of important habitat for native ungulates. Bark beetle outbreaks prior to fire may deplete seed supply of the host species, and differences in fire‐related regeneration strategies among species may shift the species composition and structure of the initial forest trajectory. Subsequent browsing of postfire tree regeneration by large ungulates, such as elk (Cervus canadensis), may limit the capacity …

Diseases In Aspen: Ecology And Management In The Western United States, Thomas E. Hinds
Diseases In Aspen: Ecology And Management In The Western United States, Thomas E. Hinds
Aspen Bibliography
Although many diseases attack aspen, relatively few kill or seriously injure living trees. The common leaf diseases, in general, are widely distributed throughout the range of aspen, whereas there are subtle differences in distribution between the important decay fungi, and apparently entirely different areas of distribution of major canker-causing organisms. However, there still are large gaps in knowledge of the disease organisms and their influence on natural and regenerated stands.
Wildlife In Aspen: Ecology And Management In The Western United States, Norbert V. Debyle
Wildlife In Aspen: Ecology And Management In The Western United States, Norbert V. Debyle
Aspen Bibliography
Aspen forests provide important habitat for many species of wildlife (Gullion 1977b), especially in the West (see the appendix to this chapter). In the coniferous forests of the interior West, aspen groves may be the only source of abundant forage; in the grasslands they may be the sole source of cover. A primary value of the aspen ecosystem in the West during the past century has been production of forage for both wildlife and domestic livestock (see the FORAGE chapter).

Natural genetic interchange and extensive colonization of aspen by seed strongly depends upon favorable climatic and microclimate conditions and upon human intervention.
Genetics And Variation In Aspen: Ecology And Management In The Western United States, J.R. Jones, N.V. Debyle
Genetics And Variation In Aspen: Ecology And Management In The Western United States, J.R. Jones, N.V. Debyle
Aspen Bibliography
The broad genotypic variability in quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.), that results in equally broad phenotypic variability among clones is important to the ecology and management of this species. This chapter considers principles of aspen genetics and variation. variation in aspen over its range, and local variation among clones. For a more detailed review of the genetics of qualung aspen, especially with wider geographic application and with emphasis on tree breeding, see Einspahr and Winton (1976).

Vegetation Associations In Aspen: Ecology And Management In The Western United States, Walter F. Mueggler
Aspen Bibliography
Aspen trees grow along moist stream bottoms as well as on dry ridges and southerly exposures, on talus slopes, and on shallow to deep soils of varied origins. Quaking aspen is one of the few plant species that can grow in all mountain vegetational zones from the alpine to the basal plain (Daubenmire 1943). As a consequence, aspen dominated communities are found intermixed with such divergent vegetation as semiarid shrublands and wet sprucefir forests

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 …
