Regeneration Silviculture of Aspen

Abstract: Factors affecting the regeneration of aspen are reviewed. In many cases, complete clearcutting will ensure prompt restocking at a satisfactory level without the need for further treatment. However aspen has traditionally been underutilized, and this led to the development of decadent stands. Special treatments may be needed to regenerate them. Moreover, aspen has such a large range that regional adaptations may be necessary for consistent success. Clonal differences have been used to a small extent to improve … Show more

“…Only about 125 stems ha-' or 5 d hap1 are required in the residual stand to produce a l l l y stocked aspen stand in the second rotation (Doucet 1989). (b) If these clearcut sites are given immediate light site preparation and planted or seeded to white spruce, a twostory stand structure will develop, with aspen in the overstory and the more slow growing white spruce forming an understory.…”

“…La régénération en épinette noire est nettement plus abondante dans les pessières noires alors que le sapin y était moins abondant que dans les peuplements mélangés. Plusieurs auteurs ont constaté que la régénération préétablie en épinette noire était surtout constituée de marcottes, de sorte que la présence de l'épinette au sein du couvert influence fortement son abondance au sein de la régénération (Doucet 1989, Ruel 1989, Sarrasin 1991, Lussier et al 1992, Paquin et Doucet 1992a, Ruel 1992a). La meilleure capacité de dispersion du sapin baumier par rapport au marcottage ainsi que son agressivité à s'installer sous couvert (Hatcher 1960, Frank 1990) pourraient expliquer l'abondante régénération en sapin baumier autant dans les peuplements issus des couverts mélangés que dans ceux issus de sapinières.…”

“…Occasionally, special treatments are needed, but those can be applied relatively easily (Doucet 1989). Therefore, compared with silvicultural costs of approximately $5500 per ha for clearcut site hybrid poplar plantations (Dancause 2008), intensive trembling aspen silviculture will surely be much more economical and less detrimental to the environment.…”

“…Regeneration silviculture of trembling aspen is also very economical because in many cases clearcutting alone will lead to satisfactory restocking (Doucet 1989). Occasionally, special treatments are needed, but those can be applied relatively easily (Doucet 1989).…”
