Bibliography Overview.   Aspen (Populus tremuloides) habitats play an important role in the biodiversity of North American landscapes on both public and private lands. There is an increasing interest in understanding the complexity of that biodiversity and the effect of historic and current management practices on that biodiversity. This bibliography centralizes and makes accessible the extensive body of published and unpublished research, reports, and summaries about aspen and its habitat dependent species. It has as its foundation all identified records relating to quaking aspen in North America no matter what their subject.

Bibliography Search.  Using a web based platform (RefShare), you can integrate the search and citation generation capabilities of a program in a format that works for users who do not have specialized bibliographic software programs. The link will also launch a window with basic instructions for searching the bibliography and saving your search results. RefShare also allows you to save and export the records in a range of formats. The basic instruction window will give you directions on using the advanced capabilities of the RefShare application.

Bibliography Record Submission. Please submit aspen records that you believe are not in the bibliography. We are particularly interested in “gray literature”--i.e., agency reports and studies that are not easily found in library database searches of published literature. Your submission will be posted into the bibliography and become an integral part of the database. Submit Records to the Aspen Bibliography

New Bibliography Information:

Beaver Ecology and Management In North America: A Bibliography Of Prominent Literature  This bibliography is a review of prominent or informative literature on beaver in North America. It was written as a companion reference source for a 1994 publication, “Beaver: Water Resources and Riparian Habitat Manager,” by Rich Olson and Wayne Hubert, University of Wyoming, Laramie. The intent of publishing this bibliography is to provide a reference source by subject headings for natural resource managers, land-use planners, ranchers, farmers, landowners, and others interested in public and private land management.

Electronic Plant information Center's Economic botany bibliography has short bibliography on native uses of aspen. The EPIC also contains International Plant Names Index for Populus tremuloides. The list contains a list of plant names giving place of publication.

Ecophysiological Parameterization Database for Pacific Northwest Trees or Forests.The authors developed a species- and location-specific database of published ecophysiological variables typically used as input parameters for biogeochemical models of coniferous and deciduous forested ecosystems in the Western United States.The authors conducted an extensive literature search to find published ecophysiological data using the databases Biosis and Agricola. The literature search yielded ecophysiological information for 18 evergreen needleleaf, 2 deciduous broadleaf and 2 deciduous needleleaf tree taxa common in the Pacific Northwest.

The RNGR Team (Reforestation, Nurseries, and Genetics Resources) has established  a bibliography of papers relating to aspen propagation As of last search, there were 42 papers in the bibliography. Over half the papers could be directly downloaded from the site.
