|
| The three worked closely together to ensure that the new landscape would harmonize with a surrounding woodland of aspens, Douglas firs, ponderosa pines, and river birches. |
|
| Cottonwoods and willows grow along streams, and stands of aspens occur in many sections. |
|
| The poplar species native to North America are divided into three loose groups: the cottonwoods, the aspens, and the balsam poplars. |
|
| The atmosphere of the small town, the mysterious fringes of the forest full of aspens and blueberries, are evocatively drawn. |
|
| The aspens germinate really fast, and in the first two weeks, they are attacked by damping off. |
|
| Here, the researchers had to use powerful streams of water to see how the root systems of these trembling aspens are interconnected. |
|
| Do you sense any vibrant, you aspens, you transpires, you know where you are. |
|
| They consist mostly of trembling aspens, Manitoba maples and eastern cottonwoods. |
|
| This vast area of conifers, aspens, birches, peat bogs, rivers and natural lakes has been monitored and studied for over 50 years. |
|
| As you ascend its mountains, you travel through rich forests of oak, juniper, and cypress in the canyons, and on the higher slopes, you'll see pines, firs, and aspens. |
|
| Surrounded by cottonwoods and aspens and featuring a wooden footbridge and an abundance of regional flora and foliage, it's a place to meditate, contemplate, and relax. |
|
| Brilliant autumnal colors in areas where there are many deciduous trees, such as aspens and maples, result in paintings that are masses of yellow and orange. |

| On average, beavers live about 30 years. In summer they feed mainly on herbaceous and water plants, while in winter they gnaw bushes and trees, preferably aspens, willows and hazel trees. |
|
| The ecosystem was traditionally maintained by fire and ungulate grazing but fire suppression and the elimination of free roaming bison have allowed aspens and conifers to encroach on a once open prairie. |
|
| On the outwash or alluvial fans of creeks entering the valley bottoms, turbulent water flows and shifting rocky debris create new habitat for trembling aspens and the diverse communities they support. |
|
| Ponderosa pines are the predominant tree cover in the region, with groves of aspens where the pines have been disturbed by such phenomena as forest fires or infestation by pine bark beetles. |
|
| Ahead was an old stand of quaking aspens, mixed intermittently with tall conifers. |
