Northern Tree Habitats - Geophysical Institute
Northern Tree Habitats. February 25, 1982 / Susan Brook. Interior Alaskan forests have only six native tree species: white spruce, black spruce, quaking aspen, balsam poplar, larch (tamarack) and paper birch. Northern Canadian forests have all of those, plus jack pine, balsam fir and lodgepole pine. Since northern Canada and interior Alaska ...

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. It is well known that you can make it spiral out in either direction, if you give it a little shove first.

Trees as Earthquake Fault Indicators - Geophysical Institute
Trees along faults often are killed by drowning because the faults tend to collect normal drainage water. In some instances, there are widespread tree kills caused by general subsidence. Killed by sinking caused in the great 1964 Alaskan earthquake, firmly stark forests of dead trees stand guard around the shore of upper Turnagain Arm, near ...

The majesty and mystery of Alaska yellow cedar
These trees, which can live longer than 1,000 years, grow on the rainy coast from the Oregon/California border through British Columbia and as far north as Prince William Sound. The giants have in many areas died in large numbers, puzzling scientists who later came up with a non-intuitive theory of what killed them.

Fast-Growing Trees - Geophysical Institute
Fast-Growing Trees. July 21, 1976 / John Zasada. One has the impression that trees in Alaska grow very slowly and cling to life by a thread because of the long, cold winters and six or so months when snow covers the ground. Certainly trees do not grow as rapidly in interior Alaska as they do in Washington and Oregon.

Tree line changes on the Kenai Peninsula | Geophysical Institute
The gradual change in tree line is one of many that people have noticed on the Kenai Peninsula in recent years. The most obvious is the 1980s-to-1990s Spruce bark beetle invasion, during which the insects killed 30 million mature spruce trees on the Kenai and a wide swath of southern Alaska. Harding Icefield, coating the high country of the ...

Cottonwood and Balsam Poplar - Geophysical Institute
The Klukwan giant holds the national record for black cottonwood diameter. Its nearest rival, a tree near Salem, Oregon, does hold the national height record. 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.

Feltleaf willows: Alaska’s most abundant tree
The most plentiful moose food in the state — and probably Alaska’s most numerous tree — is the feltleaf willow, which was once called the Alaska willow. As its name implies, the feltleaf sprouts canoe-shaped green leaves that feel fuzzy on the underside. Most of the feltleaf willows in Alaska are in areas disturbed by moving rivers ...

Black Spruce - Geophysical Institute
Black spruce are the climax trees on cold, poorly drained soils in Alaska and Yukon. They rarely exceed 45 feet (15 meters) in height or 9 inches (23 centimeters) in diameter. In a typical stand, the diameter of most trees is less than 5 inches, and growth is very slow. Half the trees in a 30-year-old stand may be less that 2 inches in diameter ...

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. In recent years, trees have been planted at military bases along the chain, and the State is now shipping out seedlings for reforestation projects all over Alaska.
