* Internet Search Results    *** Search Filter: "Trees"    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. 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 ... Pollen season arrives, blame the trees | Geophysical Institute The air is rich with pollen because spring is the mating season for trees. The first step in a tree's reproductive dance is to release sperm, safely held in the center of a pollen grain. Trees release an incredible amount of pollen to improve the odds of finding a female flower. The secret life of red squirrels | Geophysical Institute Stan Boutin has climbed more than 5,000 spruce trees in the last 30 years. He has often returned to the forest floor knowing if a ball of twigs and moss within the tree contained newborn red squirrel pups. Over the years, those squirrels have taught Boutin and his colleagues many things, including an apparent ability to predict the future. 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. Trees as Earthquake Fault Indicators | Geophysical Institute A swath of dead, tilted and broken trees now makes obvious the trace of the Fairweather fault that broke in July 1958 to devastate Lituya Bay and nearby parts of southeastern Alaska. Sagging or tilting of the ground along a fault trace causes trees there to tilt or even fall. Hoarfrost Formation | Geophysical Institute By late winter, intricate buildups of hoarfrost crystals have formed on wooden poles and other objects. Warming rays of the sun cause evaporation of whatever frost may have formed on the south side of vertical poles and trees. Conduction within metal poles causes enough heat transfer to entirely remove the hoarfrost crystals from the pole surface. Trees for a Cold Climate - Geophysical Institute The hardiest trees rely on physics more than on chemistry to make it through the winter. When the seasonal chill begins to reach black or white spruce, for example, the sap leaves their living cells and flows into intercellular spaces. There, ice crystals can form without damaging anything vital for the tree's survival. 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.     * Live EBAY Auctions   * Latest PANAREA Italy 101 News        *** News Filter: "Trees"     Sweet Fun: Bemus Point And Chautauqua Lake Collaborate On Maple Tree Tapping  Post Journal Ridge Valley Farm Taps Maple Trees for Fun and Profit  Lancaster Farming Refugium: More Fun With Franklin Street Trees  Chapelboro.com Commemorative Tree Plantings - The White House and President's Park (U.S. National Park Service)  National Park Service (.gov) Are Skill Trees Ever Actually Fun?  Medium A forest of festive fun awaits at Emmett's Festival of Trees  KBOI 6 Fascinating Cherry Tree Facts You Should Know  Birds and Blooms Christmas Trees and Christmas Fun  Santa Clarita Valley Signal Baby Pictures and Family Trees: When ‘Fun’ Assignments Backfire  Education Week 41st annual Festival of Trees provides festive fun for all ages  yourerie.com
