Aspen Bibliography
The Oregon Aspen Project was initiated in response to the decline of aspen groves in Oregon and throughout the Western United States, and the lack of information to guide managers interested in stewardship to enhance this resource. There were three central goals and accompanying objectives for this project which are listed below. The project accomplishments are provided below each bulleted objective

Aspen Regeneration After 2000 Fires On The Bitterroot, Tim Benedict
Aspen Regeneration After 2000 Fires On The Bitterroot, Tim Benedict
Aspen Bibliography
I engaged in a mission to search aspen regeneration response in Montana following large scale disturbance events, such as wildland fire. The Bitterroot surfaced as a prime example. Sue Macmeeken, former Bitterroot Silviculturist, expressed “The Bitterroot is not known for having a lot of aspen. Before the 2000 fires we saw it sporadically across the landscape in draws, openings, and a few other areas - mostly as individual trees and once in awhile as a small grove. After the fires, it came up all over the place and in fairly large numbers. It seemed impossible that it could be due …
Relationship Of Climate And Growth Of Quaking Aspen (Populus Tremuloides) In Yellowstone National Park, Erik S. Jules, Allyson L. Carroll, Matthew J. Kauffman
Relationship Of Climate And Growth Of Quaking Aspen (Populus Tremuloides) In Yellowstone National Park, Erik S. Jules, Allyson L. Carroll, Matthew J. Kauffman
Aspen Bibliography
Quaking aspen is a widespread tree that is in decline across wide areas of western North America, and is predicted to experience a large range shift if future climate predictions are realized. The purpose of our study was to determine what climate factors have influenced aspen growth in Yellowstone National Park, USA, and to determine whether these climatic influences vary across a heterogeneous landscape. We extracted increment cores from 10-12 aspen in each of 16 stands spread across a 1,526 km2 area. Using ring widths, we created a182-year standardized chronology from 1821 to 2003 A.D. composed of 151 series. We …
Aspen Mortality Summit, December 18 And 19, 2006, Salt Lake City, Utah, Dale L. Bartos, Wayne D. Shepperd
Aspen Mortality Summit, December 18 And 19, 2006, Salt Lake City, Utah, Dale L. Bartos, Wayne D. Shepperd
Aspen Bibliography
The USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station sponsored an aspen sum- mit meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah, on December 18 and19, 2006, to discuss the rapidly increasing mortality of aspen (Populus tremuloides) throughout the western United States. Selected scientists, university faculty, and managers from Federal, State, and non-profit agencies with experience working with aspen were invited. Participants were first asked to share information on recent aspen mortality. Subject matter working groups were then asked to determine factors associated with recent aspen mortality, recommend research needs, and organize those needs into testable questions and hypotheses. This report documents their …

Aspen Biology, Community Classification, And Management In The Blue Mountains, David K. Swanson, Craig L. Schmitt, Diane M. Shirley, Vicky Erickson, Kenneth J. Schuetz, Michael L. Tatum, David C. Powell
Aspen Bibliography
Quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) is a valuable species that is declining in the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon. This publication is a compilation of over 20 years of aspen management experience by USDA Forest Service workers in the Blue Mountains. It includes a summary of aspen biology and occurrence in the Blue Mountains, and a discussion of aspen conservation and management techniques such as fencing, conifer removal, and artificial propagation. Local data on bird use of aspen stands, insects and diseases in aspen, and genetic studies of aspen are also included. An aspen community classification developed from over …

Basal Area Growth For Aspen Suckers Under Simulated Browsing On Cedar Mountain, Southern Utah, Western United States Of America, K Tshireletso, J C. Malechek, D L. Bartos
Aspen Bibliography
The objective of the study was to determine the effects of season and intensity of clipping using simulated browsing on suckers' (Populus tremulaides Michx.) basal area growth on Cedar Mountain, Southern Utah, Western United States of America. Three randomly selected stands measuring 70 m x 70 m were clear-felled in mid-July, 2005, and fenced. Simulated browsing treatments of 0%, 20%, 40%, and 60% removal of current year's growth on aspen suckers were randomly applied in early, mid-, and late summers of2006 and 2007 on permanently demarcated quadrats. Sucker basal area was monitored by measuring basal diameter of individual suckers. These …
Regeneration Response And Seedling Bank Dynamics On A Dendroctonus Rufipennis-Killed Picea Engelmannii Landscape, R. Justin Derose, James N. Long
Regeneration Response And Seedling Bank Dynamics On A Dendroctonus Rufipennis-Killed Picea Engelmannii Landscape, R. Justin Derose, James N. Long
Aspen Bibliography
Question: How does regeneration response to a host- specific, high-severity, infrequent Dendroctonus rufipennis outbreak differ from our conceptualization of high-severity, infrequent/low-severity, frequent disturbance regimes in Picea engelmannii - Abies lasiocarpa communities? Location: Southern Utah, USA. Methods: One hundred and seven plots across a high- elevation P. engelmannii forest were sampled to re- construct pre-outbreak overstory and seedling bank densities, and calculate their associated metrics of diversity. Decade of establishment by seedling bank trees indicated ‘‘chronic’’ and ‘‘pulse’’ regenerators. Results: The post-outbreak overstory and seedling bank were dominated by A. lasiocarpa. Although Pinus flexilis, Pinus ponderosa, Picea pungens, and Psuedotsuga menziesii …

Propagating Trembling Aspen From Root Cuttings: Impact Of Storage Length And Phenological Period Of Root Donor Plants, Jessica Snedden, Simon M. Landhausser, Victor J. Lieffers, Lee R. Charleson
Aspen Bibliography
Two experiments were conducted to examine the effects of growing conditions, duration of cold storage, and distinct phenological periods of root donor plants on the propagation success of aspen rootlings. Root donor plants were produced either under greenhouse or open grown conditions. Root cuttings were periodically collected from donor plants that had been stored for various lengths of time in cold storage (up to 180 days), or that were stored dormant in cold storage (up to 150 days) and then grown for another full growing season. Longer storage of donor plants produced only slightly smaller rootlings and resulted in slightly …
