Quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) have the ability to regenerate both from seed and vegetatively through clones that grow from a vast root network. Until recently, widespread seedling establishment of aspen in subalpine forests was thought to occur only very rarely.
Using field surveys and species distribution modelling , I am working with a group of researchers to investigate where and why quaking aspen seedlings have established across much of Routt National Forest following a severe wildfire. This work was recently published in Forest Ecology and Management. You can find the full text on my publications page.
