Abstract
Populus tremuloides (quaking aspen) stands throughout the Sierra Nevada Mountains are undergoing succession to conifers. Removal of conifers is being tested, however, little is known about treatment longevity—the time taken for stand density to return to pretreatment levels. To determine longevity of treatments removing conifers below different size limits, we developed tree growth equations from data collected in 1 ha plots around Lake Tahoe in P. tremuloides stands with varying amounts of conifer, and simulated stand development after treatment in two stands. At Ward Creek, cutting all conifer
