“…On upland mixedwood sites that support healthy growth of both coniferous and broadleaf species (MacDonald 1995), white spruce tends to function as a later successional species eventually gaining dominance over the early successional canopy of deciduous (i.e., broadleaf) trees (Bergeron et al 2014). White spruce dominated forests across Canada have mostly originated following fire (Kemball et al 2006;Gärtner et al 2011), and the coincidence of wildfire with mast seed years is key to successful natural regeneration of this species (Peters et al 2005).…”

“…Aspen could even positively affect spruce growth by enhancing litter decomposition and nutrient cycling (Van Cleve et al 1983). Among other possible advantages of species mixtures are increased resilience against insect and disease outbreaks (Su et al 1996) and a greater diversity of forest products (MacDonald 1995).…”
