  • Northern Tree Habitats - Geophysical Institute
    They examined the present range of lodgepole pine and decided that the tree could survive in interior Alaska if given a chance Lodgepole pine grows from southern California to the Yukon, in environments varying from rainy seacoasts to dry inland mountaintops, because genetically different strains have developed
  • More on Why Tree Trunks Spiral - Geophysical Institute
    Prevailing winds, in most of the tree-growing northern hemisphere, are from the west Combine these factors, and the westerly wind pushing on the thicker south side of the tree, year after year, causes an asymmetrical wind loading which slowly twists the tree around in the observed direction
  • Trees as Earthquake Fault Indicators - Geophysical Institute
    Then using tree ring dating methods, it may be possible to date earthquakes occurring before historical records were kept The ability to identify and date very large earthquakes occurring within the past thousand years is important in establishing earthquake risk and for predicting future earthquakes
  • Witches Broom - Geophysical Institute
    Witches' broom on spruce trees is caused by a rust disease (a kind of fungus disease) The rust lives on the spruce tree throughout the year Each spring, small yellow pustules appear on the new needles of the broom A strong sweet odor, which is easily recognizable, usually accompanies the maturation of these pustules
  • The largest black spruce in Alaska | Geophysical Institute
    The tree leans uphill, and its trunk is 45 inches around When I hugged it, I could barely clasp my hands together The largest black spruce in Alaska is a lucky tree, because its neighbors to the north are gone, removed in the mid-1990s during the installation of a power line
  • Tree Rings and History - Geophysical Institute
    A tree's age can be easily determined by counting its growth rings, as any Boy or Girl Scout knows Annually, the tree adds new layers of wood which thicken during the growing season and thin during the winter These annual growth rings are easily discernible (and countable) in cross-sections of the tree's trunk
  • Burls - Geophysical Institute
    Since the hardness of the wood is related to the rate of growth, the wood inside a rapidly growing burl is softer than the wood elsewhere in the tree Nevertheless, it is hard enough to be sanded and finished into an attractive surface An affected tree may grow a single burl or many; trees with multiple burls on both trunk and limbs have been
  • Trees for a Cold Climate - Geophysical Institute
    Back on the ground, I did a little research on why so few tree types grow naturally in the neighborhood Winter's extreme cold easily eliminates some tree species hardy elsewhere Oak, ash, and elm endure occasional severely cold temperatures in the contiguous forty-eight states because they can produce chemicals that serve as natural antifreeze
