* 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. 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 ... 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 ... 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.     * Live EBAY Auctions   * Latest VULCANO Italy News        *** News Filter: "Trees"     Fun Fruit Trees for a Better Spring Harvest  Signals AZ Refugium: More Fun With Franklin Street Trees  Chapelboro.com A forest of festive fun awaits at Emmett's Festival of Trees  KBOI Baby Pictures and Family Trees: When ‘Fun’ Assignments Backfire  Education Week HAPPENING NOW: Families find fun at "Festival of Trees" at Lyman Community Center  WLOX Christmas Trees and Christmas Fun  Santa Clarita Valley Signal French Creek Christmas Trees offers choose-and-cut experience and holiday fun to central West Virginia  WV News Free family fun, prize trees, and Gala highlight 2025 Festival of Trees  Bonner County Daily Bee Make Good-Looking 3D Trees Quickly with This Fun Free Tool  80 Level Free family fun at Festival of Trees in Salisbury throughout the weekend  Salisbury Post
