Sustainability and Drivers of Aspen Regeneration and Recruitment Near the Southwestern Edge of Its Range
Speaker(s): Kristen Waring, Northern Arizona University
Description: Aspen (Populus tremuloides) populations have experienced extensive mortality in Arizona, and many areas lack adequate regeneration and recruitment to replace dying overstory trees. In this presentation, we identify which biotic and abiotic factors drive regeneration and recruitment and discuss which strategies are appropriate for managing aspen in an uncertain future.
