Abstract
Aspen Forests, More Than Just Trees
Marc Coles-Ritchie
Aspen forests are an iconic part of our western North America landscape. In the summer their lush green leaves are beautiful and the canopy provides refreshing shade. In the fall their orange, red, and yellow leaves deliver breathtaking color. Even in winter their white trunks and leafless branches create stark beauty where we snowshoe, ski, or drive. But if you spend time inside a healthy aspen forest during the growing season you will also experience a beauty in the diverse underlying plant community.
