Understory Production Not Predictable From Aspen Basal Area Or Density, K.E. Severson, J.J. Kranz
Understory Production Not Predictable From Aspen Basal Area Or Density, K.E. Severson, J.J. Kranz
Aspen Bibliography
Analysis of effects of aspen basal area and density on production of understory vegetation revealed no useful predictive relationships using the model log Y = a + bX. However, as the proportion of ponderosa pine basal area increased in aspen-pine stands, understory production declined in a predictable manner. Root biomass, total biomass, and/or growth rate of aspen may be more closely related to understory production than measures of aspen overstory.
