Aboveground woody biomass estimation of green ash trees (Fraxinus pennsylvanica Marsh.) along Colorado's Northern Front Range in response to the invasive emerald ash borer (Agrilus plannipenis Fairmaire)
… has killed hundreds of millions of ash trees (Fraxinus spp.) in forests and urban areas across the United States. Green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica Marsh.) is the most widely planted street tree in the greater Denver Metro Area, comprising 15% of the urban tree population on a per-stem basis, …

Evaluating Tree Seedling Survival and Growth in a Bottomland Old-field Site: Implications for Ecological Restoration
… oak (Quercus shumardii Buckl.) and green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica Marsh.) were planted each with four soil amendments at a Wildlife Management Area in Lewisville, Texas. The treatments were a mycorrhizal inoculant, mulch fabric, and two superabsorbent gels (TerraSorb® and DRiWATER®). …

Woodpecker Nesting Habitat in a Prairie River Woodland
… Sapsuckers nested only in live green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), characteristically in park-like situations. Red-headed woodpeckers typically nested in American elm (Ulmus americana) snag stands with an open canopy and sparse woody understory. Functions involving common clickers or downy …

Trees and Structural Soil as a Stormwater Management System in Urban Settings
… in fluctuating water tables. Quercus bicolor and Fraxinus pennsylvanica were planted in 94.6 L (25 gal) containers with structural soils (either Stalite or CU® Structural Soil). Trees were subjected to fluctuating water tables simulating infiltration rates of 2, 1, and 0.1 cm/hr for two growing …

Factors affecting root system response to nutrient heterogeneity in forested wetland ecosystems
… forest species (Liquidambar styraciflua, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, and Nyssa aquatica) in a potted study, which was related to species' flood tolerance. My results suggest that the environmental context of plants can affect roots system response to nutrient heterogeneity in forested wetland …

Adaptive Silviculture in an urban floodplain forest: exploring functional traits and soil responses for climate ready forests
… of the predominant canopy species, green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), due to predation by emerald ash borer (EAB) (Agrilus planipennis). This change in stand structure has resulted in canopy gaps increasingly being filled by forbs, shrubs, or other species considered weedy, competitive, and a …
