Abstract

Reports of precommercially thinned quaking aspen to Hypoxylon canker across 47 years in northern Minnesota. Compares canker prevalence, tree mortality, tree density, height, diameter, and volume among two thinned treatments (aspen thinned, other hardwoods removed; aspen not thinned, other hardwoods removed) and a control (aspen not thinned, other hardwoods not removed).
