Abstract

PROJECT OBJECTIVES: To assess stand conditions and causal agents involved in the aspen mortality observed in R2 using ground surveys and spatial analysis of Aerial Selection Survey (ADS) data. The specific objectives are to:

  • evaluate tree, sapling, and seedling health;
  • quantify frequencies of causal agents;
  • generate hazard maps and descriptions of the spatial distribution (extent and severity) of aspen mortality in the region;
  • analyze hazard maps in relation to R2-ADS results, and climate and other data (including drought).
