Northern Tree Habitats - Geophysical Institute
However, after seven growing seasons in Fairbanks, trees from the most northern homelands of the Dezadeash, Carmacks and Mayo areas of the Yukon are among the tallest, and the early starters from the south are now ranked at the bottom; although some of the trees from the Ft. Nelson area of British Columbia have maintained their relatively fast ...

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.

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.

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.

Burls - Geophysical Institute
Trees with burls seem to be found in a cluster; if one tree in an area has burls, it is likely that other trees around it has them too. This clumping is suggestive of leafhoppers or aphids transmitting the disease, but no conclusive evidence of this is known yet. Burls weaken trees but do not kill them.

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.

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.

Feltleaf willows: Alaska’s most abundant tree
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.

Tree line changes on the Kenai Peninsula | Geophysical Institute
The changes in Kenai Peninsula trees might be due to the milder weather the peninsula, along with most of Alaska, has experienced since about 1977, when ocean-surface temperatures in the North Pacific warmed. Climatologists with the Alaska Climate Research Center report that the Homer area warmed 4.2 degrees Fahrenheit on average from 1949 to 2007.

Skinny Trees and Paleoforests - Geophysical Institute
Creber and Chaloner showed that warmth, not light, limits the growth of ring-forming trees. In June, struggling plants on Cornwallis Island, near 75 degrees north in the Canadian Arctic, receive nearly the same amount of light as thriving trees in the parks of Washington, D.C, near 40 degrees north latitude.
