Fungi Associated With Sprout Mortality In Aspen Clearcuts In Colorado And Arizona, W.R. Jacobi, W.D. Shepperd
Fungi Associated With Sprout Mortality In Aspen Clearcuts In Colorado And Arizona, W.R. Jacobi, W.D. Shepperd
Aspen Bibliography
Four aspen stands with greater than 90% sprout mortality in Colorado and one in Arizona were evaluated for fungal pathogens. There 4- to 5-year-old sprouts had rapidly expanding cankers moving from the terminal to the ground line. Roots of sampled sprouts showed no damage and root diseases were not found. Fruiting structures of Cytospora chrysosperma were consistently found on dying stems, while those of Dothiora polyspora were occasionally found. The same organisms were isolated from the margins of advancing cankers. Pathogenicity tests using greenhouse-grown aspen trees indicated C. chrysosperma caused rapidly expanding cankers similar to those observed on the aspen …
Breeding Birds In Uncut Aspen And 6- To 10-Year-Old Clearcuts In Southwestern Colorado, V.E. Scott, G.L. Crouch
Breeding Birds In Uncut Aspen And 6- To 10-Year-Old Clearcuts In Southwestern Colorado, V.E. Scott, G.L. Crouch
Aspen Bibliography
Numbers of breeding birds were estimated for various sizes and ages of clearcuts, for edge habitat created by the clearcuts, leave strips between clearcuts, and uncut aspen forest (controls). Total numbers of birds were not different among three size classes or five age classes of clearcuts. Total were lower on clearcuts than on edges but not different from controls or leave strips.
Response Of Breeding Birds To Commercial Clearcutting Of Aspen In Southwestern Colorado [Usa], V.E. Scott, G.L. Crouch
Response Of Breeding Birds To Commercial Clearcutting Of Aspen In Southwestern Colorado [Usa], V.E. Scott, G.L. Crouch
Aspen Bibliography
Breeding birds on an aspen forest in southwestern Colorado increased in species diversity after 25% of the timber sale area forest was clearcut in patches of 3 to 20 acres. Bird population density on the forest with clearcuts was not significantly different from that on an uncut forest. Of the 20 species evaluated, six were more and one was less abundant than on the uncut forest.
Aspen Sucker Damage And Defect In Colorado Clearcut Areas, Thomas E. Hinds, W.D. Shepperd
Aspen Sucker Damage And Defect In Colorado Clearcut Areas, Thomas E. Hinds, W.D. Shepperd
Aspen Bibliography
Substantial acreages of aspen in the Rocky Mountains are being regenerated by clearcutting; however, there is little information on the quality of the suckers that reestablish in these areas. Whether the new stands will be more or less defective than their predecessors is unknown.

Whole Stand Volume Tables For Quaking Aspen [Populus Tremuloides] In The Rocky Mountains [Colorado, Wyoming], Wayne D. Shepperd, H.T. Mowrer
Aspen Bibliography
Linear regression equations were developed to predict stand volumes for aspen given average stand basal area and average stand height. Tables constructed from these equations allow easy field estimation of gross merchantable cubic and board foot Scribner Rules per acre, and cubic meters per hectare using simple prism cruise data.

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 …
Propagation Of Quaking Aspen (Populus Tremuloides Michx.) From Root Cuttings, Karen Elizabeth Burr
Propagation Of Quaking Aspen (Populus Tremuloides Michx.) From Root Cuttings, Karen Elizabeth Burr
Aspen Bibliography
Lateral root cuttings were collected at five quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) clones in Larimer County, Colorado on October 2, 1977 and May 30, 1978. The October 1977 root cuttings were stored eight months in air-tight plastic bags at 0 to 4°C. On June 1, 1978 the stored (October 1977) and the fresh (May 1978) root cuttings were planted in a greenhouse propagation bench. All sprouts that developed were allowed to grow on half of the 10-cm long root cuttings randomly selected as controls. On the remaining half of the root cuttings, designated pruned, all but the tallest sprout were …
