What to do with northern hardwood-aspen mixtures

Abstract

The aspen type covers the most area in the Lake States, followed by northern hardwoods. Both prefer good soil and are easy to regenerate. Because of past cutting practices, though, the types are now mixed over large areas. Usually there is an overstory of fast-growing aspen interspersed with an understory of dense hardwoods.
