Abstract

Trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) is the most widely distributed tree in North America, occurring over a variety of climatic, soil and topographical conditions.1,2 Interactions between aspen and its biotic and abiotic environments play pivotal roles in the ecological dynamics of many early-suc-cessional ecosystems. These interactions, in turn, influence and are influenced by the chemical composition of aspen.
