Aspen Wood Products Utilization: Impact Of The Lake States Composites Industry, John A. Youngquist, Henry Spelter
Aspen Wood Products Utilization: Impact Of The Lake States Composites Industry, John A. Youngquist, Henry Spelter
Aspen Bibliography
The utilization of Lake States aspen for value-added products has increased dramatically in the last 15 to 18 years. This paper reviews aspen utilization for solid and composite wood products since 1970, discusses the forecasted future demand for wood-based composites, and reviews research that may influence future utilization of aspen in the Lake States.

Behavioral And Thermoregulatory Responses Of Moose To High Ambient Temperatures And Insect Harassment In Aspen-Dominated Forests, Lyle A. Renecker, Robert J. Hudson
Behavioral And Thermoregulatory Responses Of Moose To High Ambient Temperatures And Insect Harassment In Aspen-Dominated Forests, Lyle A. Renecker, Robert J. Hudson
Aspen Bibliography
Heart rate and insect annoyance were studied in hand-reared adult moose (Alces alces) cows released into a 65-ha enclosure in April, May, July, and October. Radiant heat load exerted the greatest influence on heart rates of bedded moose in all months. Wind and insects had lesser, but significant effect during April and May, respectively. Respiratory rate was related to ambient temperature showing a dramatic increase about 14℃.

Opportunities For Aspen For Furniture, H.W. Reynolds, P.K. Donahue
Aspen Bibliography
Aspen is by far the most important hardwood in Minnesota. In addition to paper and oriented strandboard, approximately 100 million board feet of aspen are sawn annually. NRRI has a research and development program to convert the best 10 percent of this aspen lumber to fine furniture. Since this 10 million board feet of lumber is only one-quarter of one percent of the total U.S. furniture used we are hunting for a small market niche.

Sorting Aspen Bolts And Drying Aspen Flitches For Sdr, R.S. Boone
Sorting Aspen Bolts And Drying Aspen Flitches For Sdr, R.S. Boone
Aspen Bibliography
Log sorting is necessary when processing aspen saw-dry-rip (SDR) to select optimum log diameter and to minimize number of logs with dark-colored centers. Wetwood, which is difficult to dry, is commonly associated with these dark centers. SDR processing involves drying 7/4- to 8/4-thick live-sawn flitches. Drying the flitch and then sawing studs produces straighter studs than sawing first and drying in stud form. High-temperature kiln drying (230 o F to 240 o F) has given good results with several species (such as, basswood and yellow-poplar). For species likely to contain wetwood (aspen, cottonwood, willow), high-temperature drying is not recommended. A …
Aspen Ecology And Management In The Western United States, Norbert V. Debyle
Aspen Ecology And Management In The Western United States, Norbert V. Debyle
Aspen Bibliography
Quaking aspen occurs on more than seven million acres of the interior western United States. It is seral in most sites, usually giving way to more shade-tolerant conifers. Regeneration is almost exclusively by root suckering -- seedlings are a rarity. Discrete clones that occupy several acres are the rule on mountainous western landscapes. Management practices reflect the values of this ecosystem. These values, in decreasing order of importance, are: livestock forage, wildlife habitat, watershed cover, esthetics and recreation, and wood products. Wood products are gaining in importance, thus encouraging more active management of this important type.

Development Of An Aspen Sucker Stand Following Irrigation And Fertilization, G.W. Wyckoff, D.W. Einspahr, M.K. Benson
Development Of An Aspen Sucker Stand Following Irrigation And Fertilization, G.W. Wyckoff, D.W. Einspahr, M.K. Benson
Aspen Bibliography
A 16-18 year-old aspen stand was harvested in 1969. Aerial biomass components were determined and soils evaluated. Treatments of fertilizer, irrigation, fertilizer + irrigation and control were applied over a seven year period following harvest. Stand measurements were taken periodically over 18 years. Fertilization produced growth increases of 45-55 percent. Height, diameter, and stems per acre were affected by treatments. Guidelines for fertilizer application were developed from leaf tissue analysis.
Hybrid Popular Productivity And Suitability For The Forest Tent Caterpillar: A Framework Of Evaluation, D.J. Robison, K.F. Raffa
Hybrid Popular Productivity And Suitability For The Forest Tent Caterpillar: A Framework Of Evaluation, D.J. Robison, K.F. Raffa
Aspen Bibliography
Fifteen hybrid poplar, Populus spp., clones were evaluated for growth, tolerance to defoliation, and suitability for the forest tent caterpillar, Malacosoma disstria. Poplar clones were ranked according to their suitability for M. disstria, as indicated by behavioral and developmental bioassays. Patterns of poplar growth characteristics and M. disstria preference and performance among the 15 clones were used to construct a productivity - suitability matrix. This matrix provides a framework for evaluating insect pest resistance in selected poplar clones and for considering clonal contributions to poplar-M. disstria interactions. The matrix concept and design incorporates both biologically and …
Aspen Site Index As Related To Plant Indicators, D.K. Walters, J.P. Sloan, V. Kurmis
Aspen Site Index As Related To Plant Indicators, D.K. Walters, J.P. Sloan, V. Kurmis
Aspen Bibliography
Eighty-five fully stocked, even-aged, aspen stands representing a wide range of ages were examined. Using published site index equations, the site index of these stands was estimated. A second available indicator of the site quality was the soil productivity group used by the Soil Survey. Each of these site quality indicators was related to synecological coordinates (moisture, nutrient, heat, light) of 85 stands. In this case, synecological coordinates were identified through the use of indicator plant species (synecological coordinates).

In vitro techniques are being developed for clonal propagation of selected clones of superior aspen and hybrid poplars. We have increased the efficiency of rooting tissue culture-derived aspen and are developing rapid screening systems for the identification and recovery of aspen that are resistant to Hypoxylon canker.
Aspen Utilization In The Northern United States, D.I. Maass, L.C. Irland, S.D. Salisbury
Aspen Utilization In The Northern United States, D.I. Maass, L.C. Irland, S.D. Salisbury
Aspen Bibliography
Aspen is an important resource to the northern United States and in Quebec and Ontario. Roundwood use for pulp in the Lake States has remained stable at 2 million cords since 1981, while use for flakeboard has increased five-fold. Despite the near doubling of use in this decade, real stumpage prices for aspen have remained stable, and the mill delivered prices have declined. The pulp industry is less cost and supply sensitive than the flakeboard industries. Substitutions of other species will occur when aspen supply declines. Resource decisions in the future will be driven by both markets and politics.
