Abstract excerpt
To portray aspen clonal and spatial genetic structures, we mapped and genotyped trees in two 1-ha plots, each containing three aspen cohorts originating from fire or subsequent secondary disturbances. We used four microsatellite loci to identify aspen clones and increment core analysis to determine tree age. Clonal dimensions were measured by the maximum distance between two ramets and the number of ramets per...
