The Growth And Yield Of Aspen [Populus Tremuloides] In Saskatchewan, C. L. Kirby, W. S. Bailey, J. G. Gilmour Jan 1957

The Growth And Yield Of Aspen [Populus Tremuloides] In Saskatchewan, C. L. Kirby, W. S. Bailey, J. G. Gilmour

Aspen Bibliography

This report is a summary of all studies carried out by the Saskatchewan Forestry Branch in hardwood stands. Aspen, the principal component of the hardwood stands, is the most abundant tree species by both volume and area in Saskatchewan and is most difficult to analyze. This report presents conclusions from which further studies can be conducted. It is hoped that in the future closer correlation with site-types may be made as it is difficult and probably not desirable to make further generalization on a province-wide basis. However, before detailed questions could be studies it was necessary to have a picture …

Field Guide To Aid In Recognition Of Natural Triploid Aspen, Philip N. Joranson, Dean W. Einspahr, J P. Van Buijtenen Jan 1957

Field Guide To Aid In Recognition Of Natural Triploid Aspen, Philip N. Joranson, Dean W. Einspahr, J P. Van Buijtenen

Aspen Bibliography

Swedish experience with the genetic improvement of the European aspen (Populus tremula L.), a species which is closely kin to our North American quaking aspen (P. tremuloides Michx.), suggests that the rate of volume increment and the length of fiber tracheids might both be increased in North American aspen by finding or producing trees which possess a triple set, rather than the usual double set, of "chromosomes". Chromosomes (Figure 1) are found within and inner region--the nucleus--of each of the millions of cells formed during the growth of a tree.


Site Identification For Bigtooth Aspen Sucker Stands, S.A. Graham, R.P. Harrison Jun 1955

Site Identification For Bigtooth Aspen Sucker Stands, S.A. Graham, R.P. Harrison

Aspen Bibliography

Bigtooth aspen (Populus grandidentata) is an upland species that reaches its best development on relatively moist, loamy and sandy soils. Following logging of this tree, reproduction is almost invariably by root suckers which, in clear-cuttings, appear in profusion. Because these suckers are supported by the fully developed root systems of the parent trees, they grow at an almost unbelievably rapid rate on both good and poor sites. As a result it is impossible to recognize site quality from their growth rate alone. For this reason other indicators of site are needed in order to judge the potentialities of …

Prevernal Leafing Of Aspen In Utah Mountains, W.P. Cottam Jan 1954

Prevernal Leafing Of Aspen In Utah Mountains, W.P. Cottam

The Rocky Mountain aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx., var. aurea Tidestrom) dominates more mountainous terrain in Utah at elevations between 7,000 and 10,000 feet than any other forest species.


The Treatment Of Decayed Wood From Dead Trembling Aspen Trees For Growth-Ring Analysis, Arthur W. Ghent Jan 1954

The Treatment Of Decayed Wood From Dead Trembling Aspen Trees For Growth-Ring Analysis, Arthur W. Ghent

Aspen Bibliography

This paper elaborates certain procedures briefly outlined in an earlier article. Although dry wood from dead trembling aspen has been found best suited to growth-ring analysis, in its absence use has been made of water-saturated wood from the underside of fallen trunks. A technique of wax impregnation, adaptable to wood in both early and advanced stages of decay, is described. Rapid impregnation with near-boiling wax is sufficient to facilitate transverse sectioning of relatively sound wood; advanced decays require a slower impregnation with cooler paraffin. Hot xylol is used to remove the wax and flatten the section. Successive, overlapped sections provide …


Thinning From Above Reduces Total Yields In Medium Site Aspen, Miron L. Heinselman Jan 1954

Thinning From Above Reduces Total Yields In Medium Site Aspen, Miron L. Heinselman

Aspen Bibliography

Early commercial thinnings "from above" in quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) may provide early returns from good sized bolts, but they result in lower total yields according to a study conducted by the Lake States Forest Experiment Station on the Chippewa National Forest in Minnesota.

Enemies Of Aspen, Clyde M. Christensen, Ralph L. Anderson, A. C. Hodson, Paul O. Rudolf Jan 1951

Enemies Of Aspen, Clyde M. Christensen, Ralph L. Anderson, A. C. Hodson, Paul O. Rudolf

Aspen Bibliography

So long as aspen was considered primarily a weed species, there was little concern over the enemies which might injure or destroy it. Sometimes these enemies were actually considered "blessings in disguise. Now, however, that aspen not only is the most abundant "but also one of the most widely utilized tree species in the Lake States, there is increasing interest in anything that may affect its future supply. For that reason this brief summary of information on the enemies of aspen has been assembled.

Dimension Stock And Other Uses Of Aspen, Alexis J. Panshin Jan 1950

Dimension Stock And Other Uses Of Aspen, Alexis J. Panshin

Aspen Bibliography

Utilization of aspen for pulpwood, excelsior bolts, veneer logs and lumber has increased steadily during the past 10 years. This was particularly true during the war years when, because of the scarcity of other timber, aspen entered many new phases of utilization. In the lumber field alone the wider acceptance of aspen has been reflected in an increase in the annual production from 67 million board feet in 1941 to 152 million board feet in 1946. It is estimated, however, that aspen stands in the Lake States can provide an annual cut of at least 300 million board feet of …


Marketing Of Aspen, Zigmond A. Zasada Jun 1949

Marketing Of Aspen, Zigmond A. Zasada

Aspen Bibliography

The Lake States timber industry did a creditable job of producing and using considerable volumes of aspen during the war years. At that time it was shown that aspen could fill a variety of uses satisfactorily. However, improved marketing techniques are needed if present aspen stands are to be fully and profitably utilized. The aim of this paper is to call the attention of owners and producers of aspen to some of the points to be considered to improve marketing.


Aspen For Excelsior, Hereford Garland Jun 1949

Aspen For Excelsior, Hereford Garland

Aspen Bibliography

The use of aspen for the manufacture of excelsior is well established in the Lake States. The properties of the wood make it suitable for this general use, and there are adequate supplies available for increased productive capacity. The process of manufacturing excelsior is relatively uncomplicated, and the production equipment is simple and relatively low in cost. That the industry is not more extensive is obviously due to limitations in markets for excelsior. Expansion of the industry depends primarily upon the development of new uses and new products having excelsior as a base.

Aspen Lumber Grades And Characteristics, Zigmond A. Zasada Sep 1948

Aspen Lumber Grades And Characteristics, Zigmond A. Zasada

Aspen Bibliography

While most hardwood and softwood lumber usually is graded, aspen lumber is not. On the contrary, it is usually sold by the sawmill to the wood manufacturing plant on a mill-run basis. Plants which saw aspen lumber for their own use rarely apply standard grades in sorting the lumber. They usually separate the "usable" from the "cull" lumber, basing their grade breakdown upon the minimum quality acceptable in their manufacturing process. Manufacturers who use only certain grades of aspen lumber, and who buy it on the open market, have been unable to locate sources from which graded aspen lumber is …


Logging Methods And Peeling Of Aspen, T. Schantz-Hansen Jul 1948

Logging Methods And Peeling Of Aspen, T. Schantz-Hansen

Aspen Bibliography

The logging of forest products is influenced by many factors, including the size of the trees, density of the stand, the soundness of the trees, size of the area logged, topography and soil, weather conditions, the degree of utilization, the skill of the logger and the equipment used, the distance from market, etc. Each of these factors influences not only the method of logging but also the costs. The purpose of this paper is not to cover in detail the effect of each of these variations, but to deal with some of the major problems typical to logging aspen. Well …
