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 ...

Orange trees in the Alaska Range | Geophysical Institute
While wandering middle Alaska this summer, I noticed orange spruce trees along the entire length of the Denali Highway, from Paxson to Cantwell.

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

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.

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.

Feltleaf willows: Alaska’s most abundant tree | Geophysical Institute
The range of the feltleaf willow, probably the most numerous tree in Alaska. From Alaska Trees and Shrubs by Les Viereck and Elbert L. Little, Jr.

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.
