Tree regeneration after fire: Aspen removal experiment, Aspen stem numbers, biomass and canopy height
This research was intended to address the general question of whether asexual stem regeneration of trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) reduces rates of establishment and growth of potential invading conifer species during the initial years following fire. Interactions between aspen and conifers were studied under natural conditions in a burned aspen stand with a high potential for aspen re-sprouting. The study contributes to our understanding of whether competitive interactions between tree seedlings are likely to help maintain deciduous stands across disturbance cycles by reducing the potential for successful conifer establishment. Includes measurements of aspen stem numbers, biomass and canopy height in clipped and control plots, for samples in 2000 (start of the experiment) and 2002 (experiment harvest on August 16, 2002).
Tree regeneration after fire: Aspen removal experiment, Counts of seedling germination
This research was intended to address the general question of whether asexual stem regeneration of trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) reduces rates of establishment and growth of potential invading conifer species during the initial years following fire. Interactions between aspen and conifers were studied under natural conditions in a burned aspen stand with a high potential for aspen re-sprouting. The study contributes to our understanding of whether competitive interactions between tree seedlings are likely to help maintain deciduous stands across disturbance cycles by reducing the potential for successful conifer establishment. Counts of seedling germination (total seedlings observed) and net establishment (total seedlings surviving to the end of the experiment), by species. These counts are for seeded sub-plots only.
Tree regeneration after fire: Aspen removal experiment, aboveground biomass of seedlings from sown seed
This research was intended to address the general question of whether asexual stem regeneration of trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) reduces rates of establishment and growth of potential invading conifer species during the initial years following fire. Interactions between aspen and conifers were studied under natural conditions in a burned aspen stand with a high potential for aspen re-sprouting. The study contributes to our understanding of whether competitive interactions between tree seedlings are likely to help maintain deciduous stands across disturbance cycles by reducing the potential for successful conifer establishment. Data are total aboveground biomass (g dry weight) of seedlings derived from sown seed (leaves and stems combined). Values are averages of all seedlings in a plot. In control plots, BS and WS were pooled (indicated as SPR).
Tree regeneration after fire: Aspen removal experiment, biomass of 2002 growth of transplanted seedlings
This research was intended to address the general question of whether asexual stem regeneration of trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) reduces rates of establishment and growth of potential invading conifer species during the initial years following fire. Interactions between aspen and conifers were studied under natural conditions in a burned aspen stand with a high potential for aspen re-sprouting. The study contributes to our understanding of whether competitive interactions between tree seedlings are likely to help maintain deciduous stands across disturbance cycles by reducing the potential for successful conifer establishment. Data are biomass (g dry weight) of current year growth (2002, leaves + stems) of transplanted seedlings. Values are averages of up to 3 seedlings per plot (fewer where seedlings died).
Tree regeneration after fire: Aspen removal experiment, soil moisture analysis 2002
This research was intended to address the general question of whether asexual stem regeneration of trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) reduces rates of establishment and growth of potential invading conifer species during the initial years following fire. Interactions between aspen and conifers were studied under natural conditions in a burned aspen stand with a high potential for aspen re-sprouting. The study contributes to our understanding of whether competitive interactions between tree seedlings are likely to help maintain deciduous stands across disturbance cycles by reducing the potential for successful conifer establishment. Data are soil moisture from treatment and control plots measured from a single soil core from each plot sampled on 12 July 2002.
Tree regeneration after fire: Aspen removal experiment, organic layer depth measurments 2001, 2002
This research was intended to address the general question of whether asexual stem regeneration of trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) reduces rates of establishment and growth of potential invading conifer species during the initial years following fire. Interactions between aspen and conifers were studied under natural conditions in a burned aspen stand with a high potential for aspen re-sprouting. The study contributes to our understanding of whether competitive interactions between tree seedlings are likely to help maintain deciduous stands across disturbance cycles by reducing the potential for successful conifer establishment. Data are organic layer depths (cm) sampled with a hand corer on 20 July 2001 and 12 July 2002. Measurements made on 16 August 2002 have been omitted because they are inconsistent with earlier measurements and probably reflect observer bias.
Tree regeneration after fire: Aspen removal experiment, soil moisture and pH 2001
This research was intended to address the general question of whether asexual stem regeneration of trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) reduces rates of establishment and growth of potential invading conifer species during the initial years following fire. Interactions between aspen and conifers were studied under natural conditions in a burned aspen stand with a high potential for aspen re-sprouting. The study contributes to our understanding of whether competitive interactions between tree seedlings are likely to help maintain deciduous stands across disturbance cycles by reducing the potential for successful conifer establishment. Data from soil samples collected with a hand corer (one sample/plot) on 20 July 2001.

Genetic Diversity, Ecological Niches, and Climate Change Vulnerability of Aspens in the Upper Midwest:Budbreak
Quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) is the most cosmopolitan tree species in North America and an important native at Cedar Creek and across the Midwest. Aspen stands are quite common through eastern, central, and northern Minnesota, and occur sporadically in cool, wet microclimates across the Great Plains. Currently, these stands are in decline, are poorly reproducing in the wild, and are suffering from a range of stresses. Climate change associated phenomena, drought and altered freeze-thaw cycles, have contributed to massive aspen dieback, especially in the American West. We have received funding from the National Park Service to assess the genetic diversity and hybrid status, age structure and health, ecological niche and historical rate of range contraction, and drought and freezing tolerance physiology of an aspen stand of interest at the Niobrara National Scenic River (NNSR) in northern Nebraska. As part of this project, we are also studying genetic diversity and physiological vulnerability to climate change in quaking and bigtooth (P. grandidentata) aspen populations in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, South Dakota, and Nebraska. We will use genetic markers to identify genetically unique stands and compare growth and survival of these to populations of the parent species under different drought and freeze-thaw conditions. This study will allow us to better pinpoint the causes of decline in the NNSR aspen stands and aspen stands across the upper Midwest, and potentially provide guidance to managers on the prioritization of particular stands for conservation or in identifying genetic sources for any ex situ conservation or assisted migration.

Data from: Geographic structure and adaptive population differentiation in herbivore defense genes in European aspen (Populus tremula L., Salicaceae)
When a phenotypic trait is subjected to spatially variable selection and local adaptation, the underlying genes controlling the trait are also expected to show strong patterns of genetic differentiation because alternative alleles are favoured in different geographical locations. Here, we study 71 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from seven genes associated with inducible defence responses in a sample of Populus tremula collected from across Sweden. Four of these genes (PPO2, TI2, TI4 and TI5) show substantial population differentiation, and a principal component analyses conducted on the defence SNPs divides the Swedish population into three distinct clusters. Several defence SNPs show latitudinal clines, although these were not robust to multiple testing. However, five SNPs (located within TI4 and TI5) show strong longitudinal clines that remain significant after multiple test correction. Genetic geographical variation, supporting local adaptation, has earlier been confirmed in genes involved in the photoperiod pathway in P. tremula, but this is, to our knowledge, one of the first times that geographical variation has been found in genes involved in plant defence against antagonists.
