Quaking aspen energence and initial survival under different relative humidity, moisture, and seed placement treatments

Informally Refereed

Abstract

Quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) is the most widely distributed tree species in North America. When present in a stand, quaking aspen can be a prolific root sprouter, especially after a disturbance. This seems to be the primary mode of reproduction for the species. A better understanding of the sexual reproduction of quaking aspen is needed to ensure genetic diversity and colonization of new areas.
