Future Dominance By Quaking Aspen Expected Following Short-Interval, Compounded Disturbance Interaction, Robert A. Andrus, Sarah J. Hart, Niko Tutland, Thomas T. Veblen Jan 2021

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 …

Vegetation Associations In Aspen: Ecology And Management In The Western United States, Walter F. Mueggler Jan 1985

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

Genetics And Variation In Aspen: Ecology And Management In The Western United States, J.R. Jones, N.V. Debyle Jan 1985

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).

Cryptosphaeria Canker And Libertella Decay Of Aspen, Thomas E. Hinds Jan 1981

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 …
