abstract   bibtex   
[Excerpt] Betula glandulosa is a very common species throughout a very large geographic range. There are no known threats that are or will adversely affect this species in the foreseeable future. NatureServe (2013) ranks this species as secure (G5T5). This species is assessed as Least Concern.\textasciitilde [::Common Name(s)] [::]English - Dwarf birch, Resin birch, Glandular birch, Glandular shrub birch, Bog birch, Scrub birch, Tundra dwarf birch [::]French - Bouleau glanduleux [::Taxonomic Notes] Ashburner and McAllister (2013) have placed Betula nana ssp. exilis in synonymy with Betula glandulosa. [::Range Description] This species occurs from the Altai Mountains in Siberia, eastward across the Bering Straights to Alaska across Canada, including all its provinces, the French islands of Saint Pierre and Milequon and into southwestern Greenland. In the United States it occurs in northern New York, New Hampshire and Maine in the northeast, and in the western United States, the Rocky Mountain states south to Colorado and the Pacific Northwest states into northern California. [::Countries] Native:Canada (Alberta, British Columbia, Labrador, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland I, Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward I., Québec, Saskatchewan, Yukon); Greenland; Russian Federation (Altay, Amur, Buryatiya, Irkutsk, Kamchatka, Khabarovsk, Krasnoyarsk, Magadan, Sakhalin, West Siberia, Yakutiya); Saint Pierre and Miquelon; United States (Alaska, California, Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Montana, New Hampshire, New York, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wyoming) [::Population] Betula glandulosa is a very common species with a broad geographic distribution in northern North America and Asia. However, there are no hard data on population numbers due to it being common and not an important commercial species. \textasciitilde [::Habitat and Ecology] A shrub with prostrate to spreading to erect habit up to three metres in height, but often under one metre in exposed situations. This species~is a deciduous, long-lived shrub with one to many stems. It occurs in Arctic and alpine tundra and northern coniferous forests. It is an invader of gaps in northern coniferous forest, growing on the whole in dry, exposed places, such as rocky barrens to the north and mountain tops in the south. It occurs in many black spruce (Picea mariana) and white spruce (Picea glauca) plant communities, especially in forest gaps. It is characteristic of many mixed shrub and tussock tundra communities and also occurs in muskegs, bogs, carrs and other open wetland communities. In mountainous habitats it occurs at and above the treeline on rocky slopes, barrens and open alpine summits.\textasciitilde It is documented as occurring in the following SAF Cover Types: 1 (Jack pine), 5 (Balsam fir), 12 (Black spruce), 13 (Black spruce-tamarack), 38 (Tamarack), 107 (White spruce), 201 (White spruce), 202 (White spruce-paper birch), 203 (Balsam poplar), 204 (Black spruce), 206 (Engelmann spruce-subalpine fir), 217 (Aspen), 218 (Lodgepole pine), 222 (Black cottonwood-willow), 251 (White spruce-aspen), 252 (Paper birch), 253 (Black spruce-white spruce) and 254 (Black spruce-paper birch).~~It is documented as occurring in the following SRM (rangelands) Cover Types: ~216 (Montane meadows), 410 (Alpine rangeland), 901 (Alder), 904 (Black spruce-lichen), 911 (Lichen tundra), 912 (Low scrub shrub birch-ericaceous), 913 (Low scrub swamp), 916 (Sedge-shrub tundra), 917 (Tall shrub swamp), 918 (Tussock tundra), 919 (Wet meadow tundra),~920 (White spruce-paper birch) and 921 (Willow).\textasciitilde The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers National Wetlands Plant List (NWPL)~ranks this species as a facultative wetland species for the Alaska Region and a obligate wetland species for the Arid West, Western Mountains, Valleys and Coast, and Great Plains Regions.\textasciitilde [::Use and Trade] There is no commercial use of Betula glandulosa.\textasciitilde Inuit people, on the Arctic tundra use this species for firewood. [::Major Threat(s)] There are no known major threats to this species.
