“…Aspen in the northern parklands is considered a climax species that was held in check naturally by repeated wildfires (Moss 1932). It now appears to be aggressively expanding into adjacent prairies.…”

“…The herbaceous understory in mature aspen parkland communities is characteristically meager; but it is usually lush in the aspen forests farther south. Moss (1932) described what he termed an aspen consociation in the parklands of Alberta. This consociation contained a mixed understory of shrubs, forbs, and grasses (table 2).…”

“…Alberta are weakly weathered and commonly dominated by quartz and potassium feldspars (Pawluk and Lindsay 1964;Pawluk and Dudas 1982), suggesting that the use of sand- (Rowe 1972),but this dominance has been attributed to fire regime rather than to soil texture (Moss 1932 (Heinselman 1981;Fyles 1986). The association between vegetation and soil properties observed in this study is consistent with the latter view because it is unlikely that soil differences between forest types could have developed within the period of 40-140 yr (Fyles 1986) (Wang and Kodama 1986 (Walker and Syers 1976) and the fractionation analysis was conducted to determine whether the Hondo soils could be distinguished on the basis of this measurement of soil development.…”

“…The need of hardy and drought,resistant material for shelterbelts in the Prairies is recently becoming more and more urgent and the aspen native to the Prairies may have possibilities in this respect. It is fully hardy and more drought,resistant than other native and introduced poplars in the northern part of the Prairies (Moss, 1932), although it is rather slow,growing. The feasibility of 1ong.distance shipment of dormant twigs with flower buds of male poplars for use in crossing according to the method of Wettstein (1933 a) was established in 1936.…”
