Abstract
Rethinking aspen regeneration: the case for a bright future
Simon M. Landhäusser
Over the last 25 years, I have devoted most of my research to understanding the ecology of aspen. Much of the published science on aspen regeneration over recent decades has focused on its ability to reproduce vegetatively from root suckers and what factors influence its suckering success. This regeneration mechanism is a remarkable adaptation and displays aspen’s formidable resiliency to disturbance. However, here I would like to take the opportunity to explore the much lesser known side of aspen regeneration: seeds.
