Abstract
Aspen: A Reason for Hope
Robert A. Andrus
Tens of millions of trees have died in recent decades in subalpine forests in the western US. Much of this tree mortality has been caused by two natural disturbances—wildfires and outbreaks of native insects (i.e., bark beetles). The loss of so many trees has left us wondering what is next for these areas. Will they return to forest and if so, what will they look like?
