Abstract

This review synthesizes the English-language literature on the water relations of three aspens, Populus tremuloides (trembling aspen, hereafter abbreviated TA), P. grandidentata (bigtooth aspen, BTA), and P. tremula (European aspen, EA). The synthesis is structured according to plant water relations as studied by physiologists, ecologists, and hydrologists. Because parallel information was not borrowed from other species when data about aspen were lacking, the review contains discontinuities. It is hoped that these will identify needs for further research. This review assumes that the reader is familiar with the ecology of aspens and with the principles of plant water relations (Kozlowski 1981; Lange et al. 1976; Levitt 1980; Slatyer 1967).
