* Internet Search Results    *** Search Filter: "Trees"    Northern Tree Habitats | Geophysical Institute Why take a chance with exotics, when native trees have proven their ability to survive? Several reasons prompt testing of foreign tree species. Human activities often create and maintain new, sometimes artificial habitats that native trees are not adapted to. Exotics may have strong wood, large fruits or straight boles that are lacking in the ... Tropical Fossils in Alaska | Geophysical Institute Paleobotanist Jack A. Wolfe of the United States Geological Survey at Menlo Park, California, has found a number of tropical rain forest fossils along the eastern Gulf of Alaska. These include several kinds of palms, Burmese lacquer trees, mangroves and trees of the type that now produce nutmeg and Macassar oil. Cottonwood and Balsam Poplar | Geophysical Institute The Klukwan giant belies the belief that trees tend to get smaller the farther north one goes. Both balsam poplar and cottonwood have value for fuel wood, pulp and lumber. Skinny Trees and Paleoforests - Geophysical Institute Growth rings in fossilized trees establish the presence of changing seasons, including warm summers, in high latitudes. However, a tree growing in the long-gone warm Arctic wouldn't look like a tree growing in the ancient temperate zone. Even then, a high-latitude tree would probably be skinny, like the pipecleaner spruce of Alaska's interior. Burls - Geophysical Institute Burls weaken trees but do not kill them. The weakening effect, however, makes the trees vulnerable to other diseases which can kill them. Relatively little is known about burls, for several reasons: It takes a long time for a burl to grow--nearly as long as the tree on which it is found--so research is stretched out over a long period of time. Fast-Growing Trees - Geophysical Institute The reason for this is that trees in Alaska appear to be adapted to grow more rapidly when the conditions for growth are favorable during the short but relatively warm summer. Recently two scientists combined their efforts to investigate growth rates of white spruce in Alaska and Massachusetts. The Kodiak Treeline | Geophysical Institute Spruce trees planted on the islands by the Russians in 1805 are doing just fine and reseeding themselves naturally, although the total tree population hardly amounts to a forest. Visit to an exotic tree plantation in Alaska | Geophysical Institute These exotic trees — some now 70 feet tall — are a nice legacy for the men who planted shin-high seedlings years before Woodward last visited the plot in 1981. Les Viereck, a renowned ecologist who wrote Alaska Trees and Shrubs, died in 2008. More on Why Tree Trunks Spiral | Geophysical Institute Granted, not all trees exhibit the same twist, but the majority of them do. The phenomenon can be likened to the claim that water will always spiral out of a drain in a counter-clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere. Feltleaf willows: Alaska’s most abundant tree | Geophysical Institute The range of the feltleaf willow, probably the most numerous tree in Alaska.
