Abstract
Root samples collected from trembling aspen (Populustremuloides Michx.) clones after leaf-fall at three Utah locations were analyzed for total nonstructural carbohydrates (TNC). TNC were removed from root tissue by a takadiastase enzyme method rarely used in the study of tree physiology. Differences in TNC percentages among clones within areas appeared to be genetic. Age and site were additional factors causing differences among areas.Keywords
