Sudden Aspen Decline: A Review of Pattern and Process in a Changing Climate
Singer et al. in: Forests (2019), 10:8, Article 671

Figure 1 Possible successional trajectories of aspen stands in the Rocky Mountains. Aspen develops as even-aged stands following a large-scale initiating disturbance. Following stem exclusion understory re-initiation will produce suppressed suckers and an herbaceous ground story [26]. In fertile sites where aspen can self-perpetuate, or in the presence of some intense disturbance, such as fire, stands return to initiation. In the absence of fire, conifer encroachment can convert the stand, either permanently (self-perpetuating conifer stand in the bottom right corner—usually facilitated by conditions suited to SAD), or temporarily, returning to seral aspen following another stand-replacing fire. Conifer species can vary across the range of aspen, including lodgepole and juniper in drier sites, and spruce and fir at higher elevations.
