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
Black Spruce | Geophysical Institute Somehow black spruce trees seem like the jackasses of the northern forests--sort of ungainly looking, ugly little beasts that somehow can survive under conditions prohibitive to the taller and more elegant birches and white spruce But, like donkeys, black spruce have their likable and interesting qualities
More on Why Tree Trunks Spiral | Geophysical Institute In an earlier column , I asked if any readers could explain why the grain in trees seemed to spiral up the trunk-in a clockwise direction That is, spiral marks in old trees crack open from the upper right to lower left around the trunk Professor (now Emeritus) Neil Davis, the originator of this column, posed the same question in this column over ten years ago, and it's time for an update I
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
The largest black spruce in Alaska | Geophysical Institute The Alaska champion black spruce tree stands on the campus of the University of Alaska Fairbanks The tree lives in a mixed forest next to large white spruce trees, mature birch and a few alders and willows The tree leans uphill, and its trunk is 45 inches around When I hugged it, I could barely clasp my hands together
Tamarack -- Not A Dead Spruce | Geophysical Institute When one of these trees finds itself on a better site, however, it shows a remarkable change of pace Individual tamarack growing in white spruce stands may achieve a size comparable to white spruce 100 to 150 years old The current record tamarack in Alaska stands near mile 311 of the Richardson Highway
The majesty and mystery of Alaska yellow cedar | Geophysical Institute Here, in a forest a few hundred feet above a shrinking glacier, Gaglioti is felling one of the most enigmatic trees in Alaska: an 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
