Northern Canadian forests have all of those, plus jack pine, balsam fir and lodgepole pine. Since northern Canada and interior Alaska share the same grueling climate and extremes of daylength, why are the Canadian tree species absent from ...</description><pubDate>Wed, 15 Apr 2026 03:07:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Tree Rings and History | Geophysical Institute</title><link>https://www.gi.alaska.edu/alaska-science-forum/tree-rings-and-history</link><description>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. In good growing years, when sunlight and rainfall are plentiful, the growth rings ...</description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Feb 2026 02:02:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>More on Why Tree Trunks Spiral | Geophysical Institute</title><link>https://www.gi.alaska.edu/alaska-science-forum/more-why-tree-trunks-spiral</link><description>I eventually found a tree with a spiral lightning mark and it followed the spiral grain exactly. One tree, of course, proves nothing. "But why should the tree spiral? More speculation here: Foliage tends to be thicker on the south side of the tree because of better sunlight.</description><pubDate>Wed, 08 Apr 2026 01:28:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Feltleaf willows: Alaska’s most abundant tree | Geophysical Institute</title><link>https://www.gi.alaska.edu/alaska-science-forum/feltleaf-willows-alaskas-most-abundant-tree</link><description>The most plentiful moose food in the state — and probably Alaska’s most numerous tree — is the feltleaf willow, which was once called the Alaska willow. As its name implies, the feltleaf sprouts canoe-shaped green leaves that feel fuzzy on the underside.</description><pubDate>Wed, 08 Apr 2026 01:21:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>The Pinhole: Nature's Lens | Geophysical Institute</title><link>https://www.gi.alaska.edu/alaska-science-forum/pinhole-natures-lens</link><description>Sunlight passing through minor apertures between tree leaves is focused like the rays in a pinhole camera (and, just as with a simple lens, the image is upside-down).</description><pubDate>Fri, 10 Apr 2026 16:49:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Cottonwood and Balsam Poplar | Geophysical Institute</title><link>https://www.gi.alaska.edu/alaska-science-forum/cottonwood-and-balsam-poplar</link><description>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.</description><pubDate>Mon, 13 Apr 2026 06:08:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>The Kodiak Treeline | Geophysical Institute</title><link>https://www.gi.alaska.edu/alaska-science-forum/kodiak-treeline</link><description>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.</description><pubDate>Wed, 15 Apr 2026 03:57:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>The Turkey and the Tambalacoque Tree - Geophysical Institute</title><link>https://www.gi.alaska.edu/alaska-science-forum/turkey-and-tambalacoque-tree</link><description>The problem was the decline of the tambalacoque tree, a once common and useful source of timber for the island residents. Only thirteen of the trees remained, and they were sickly specimens.</description><pubDate>Mon, 13 Apr 2026 15:12:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Visit to an exotic tree plantation in Alaska | Geophysical Institute</title><link>https://www.gi.alaska.edu/alaska-science-forum/visit-exotic-tree-plantation-alaska</link><description>The two-acre exotic tree plantation is part of a much-larger “boreal arboretum” on the UAF campus, which mostly consists of native spruce, birch, aspen, poplar and willow trees. Having borrowed the key from a researcher with UAF’s Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station, Woodward has invited me to join him inside the chain-link fence.</description><pubDate>Wed, 08 Apr 2026 07:40:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Trees as Earthquake Fault Indicators | Geophysical Institute</title><link>https://www.gi.alaska.edu/alaska-science-forum/trees-earthquake-fault-indicators</link><description>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.</description><pubDate>Wed, 15 Apr 2026 03:21:00 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
