註釋Over the past several years, the utilization of aspen has increased dramatically in northwestern Alberta and more recently in northeast B.C.A large portion of the resource in B.C. is located on private land and much of this land is marginal for agriculture. This report discusses some of the basic information necessary to consider the management of aspen on private land as a crop that would provide diversification where agriculture is marginal. The report covers the inventory of aspen stands; growth and yield estimates; silvicultural strategies; costs of harvesting, transport and management; comparisons between agriculture and woodlot crops; and conditions necessary for aspen management on private land.
