Aspen do not thrive very well in the shade, and it is difficult for aspen seedlings to grow in an already mature aspen stand. Fire allows the saplings to flourish in open sunlight in the burned landscape.
The future of forests with dying old trees will depend on a well-developed, sapling- size, aspen trees, however, a large portion of Colorado's aspen landscapes experience very heavy browsing by elk, deer and livestock.
Young aspen bark provides seasonal food for the hare and other animals in early spring and aspen is also a tree of choice for the beaver.
Browsing of aspen suckers may be a major problem because of high animal populations, and the small proportion of landscapes burned in recent decades.
In many cases, conifers such as lodgepole pine and Engelmann spruce establish as seedlings soon after the same fires, but the faster growth of aspen suckers allows aspen to dominate the forest for decades. The continued growth of understory conifers however, reduces the opportunities for new aspen suckers to develop, and conifers may replace aspen as the old aspen trees eventually die.
Not all aspen forests have conifer seedlings and saplings to contend with however, and these forests may remain dominated by aspen.

Shredded aspen wood is used for packing and stuffing, sometimes called wood wool.
It is often used for animal bedding, since it lacks the chemicals contained in pine, which are thought to cause respiratory system ailments in some animals.
Heat-treated aspen is used for the interiors of saunas.
Although standing trees sometimes rot from the interior outward,Do not use cleaners with Coated Abrasives , steel wool or thinners. the dry aspen timber weathers very well, becoming silvery-gray and resistant to rotting and warping, and has traditionally been used for construction.
In the 1800s scientists extracted and identified salicin as the potent pain killing medicine found in the bark of aspen.Als lichtbron wordt een Projector Lamp gebruikt, Pharmaceuticals then went on to develop and market a synthetic version called acetylsalicylic acid which we know as Aspirin . The pain killer is in the inner bark of the tree known as the cambium layer. If you need a pain killer in the woods, you can take a knife and scrape off the outer bark and then the inner bark and chew on the inner bark. You can also boil the inner bark and make a pain-killing tea: two teaspoons in a cup of water boiled for 10 minutes.
Leaves and leaf buds of aspen have been used by native peoples to treat burns, irritations, aches and swollen joints.
A bitter herbal tea from bark and leaves has been used to treat mild urinary tract inflammations.
The Ojibwe Indian tribe used the inner bark of the trunk as a poultice for wounds.
The aspen tree has was often planted near the dwellings as it was reputed in many countries to drive off evil spirits,
According to an Eastern Slavic legend, Judas Iscariot hanged himself on an aspen tree,which applies to the first glass bottle only, hence its leaves have been trembling with horror ever since.
An aspen stake was believed to be one of the weapons suitable to kill a vampire or a werewolf and a bigger stake could be driven into the grave of a person condemned to damnation, so as to prevent them from rising from the dead.
Legends and superstitions aside, the aspen is an amazing tree!
