These alternatives can include overstory removal (harvesting, bulldozing, shearblading, prescribed burning) and site preparation (root trenching, drag scarification, broadcast burning) treatments. On sites where parent aspen trees are not present in the original stand, tree planting will be necessary albeit costly in comparison to regeneration by suckering. While extensive literature exists on the regeneration of trembling aspen through suckering, research on artificial establishment with seedlings and its requirements is still in its infancy and rapidly developing.<\/p>\n<p>This project is a part of the\u00a0FireSmart Vegetation Management Decision Support Research\u00a0initiative.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-69f1049f0fe86 {margin-top: 48px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-69f1049f0fe86\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.thegem-button-69f1049f1bc72621 .gem-button svg {fill: #ffffff;}.thegem-button-69f1049f1bc72621 .gem-button:hover svg {fill: #ffffff;}<\/style><div class=\"gem-button-container gem-button-position-inline thegem-button-69f1049f1bc72621    \"  ><a class=\"gem-button gem-button-size-small gem-button-style-flat gem-button-text-weight-normal\" data-ll-effect=\"drop-right-without-wrap\" style=\"border-radius: 3px;background-color: #faa533;color: #ffffff;\" onmouseleave=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#faa533';this.style.color='#ffffff';\" onmouseenter=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#0b4a6b';this.style.color='#ffffff';\" href=\"mailto:wildfire_operations_incendies@fpinnovations.ca\" target=\"_self\">Contact our team for more information<\/a><\/div> [\/vc_column][vc_column width=\u00a0\u00bb1\/4&Prime;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Project [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] Research to assess stand conversion [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=\u00a0\u00bb1\/4&Prime;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] Year [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]2021[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] status [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Completed[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] Researcher [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Pamela Matute (Lead); Steven Hvenegaard[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":26464,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[113,110],"tags":[116,114,115],"class_list":{"0":"post-26896","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-community-resilience-and-fuels-fr","8":"category-report-fr","9":"tag-community-protection-fr","10":"tag-firesmart-fr","11":"tag-fuel-management-fr"},"menu_order":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildfire.fpinnovations.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26896","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildfire.fpinnovations.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildfire.fpinnovations.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildfire.fpinnovations.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildfire.fpinnovations.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26896"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wildfire.fpinnovations.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26896\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26897,"href":"https:\/\/wildfire.fpinnovations.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26896\/revisions\/26897"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildfire.fpinnovations.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26464"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildfire.fpinnovations.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildfire.fpinnovations.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26896"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildfire.fpinnovations.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
