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 ...Mon, 06 Apr 2026 02:28:00 GMThttps://www.gi.alaska.edu/alaska-science-forum/tree-rings-and-historyA 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 ...Fri, 20 Feb 2026 02:02:00 GMThttps://www.gi.alaska.edu/alaska-science-forum/more-why-tree-trunks-spiralI 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.Wed, 08 Apr 2026 01:28:00 GMThttps://www.gi.alaska.edu/alaska-science-forum/feltleaf-willows-alaskas-most-abundant-treeThe 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.Wed, 08 Apr 2026 01:21:00 GMThttps://www.gi.alaska.edu/alaska-science-forum/tree-line-changes-kenai-peninsulaThe gradual change in tree line is one of many that people have noticed on the Kenai Peninsula in recent years. The most obvious is the 1980s-to-1990s Spruce bark beetle invasion, during which the insects killed 30 million mature spruce trees on the Kenai and a wide swath of southern Alaska.Mon, 30 Mar 2026 10:28:00 GMThttps://www.gi.alaska.edu/alaska-science-forum/cottonwood-and-balsam-poplarThe 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.Tue, 07 Apr 2026 04:21:00 GMThttps://www.gi.alaska.edu/alaska-science-forum/visit-exotic-tree-plantation-alaskaThe 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.Wed, 08 Apr 2026 07:40:00 GMThttps://www.gi.alaska.edu/alaska-science-forum/pinhole-natures-lensSunlight 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).Thu, 02 Apr 2026 16:01:00 GMThttps://www.gi.alaska.edu/alaska-science-forum/bark-beetles-take-connecticut-size-bite-out-alaskaKnowing that, forest managers might be able to anticipate an outbreak and plan tree harvests ahead of the beetles or try preventative measures that might work on small outbreaks, such as tree thinning, pruning, setting out hormone traps for beetles, and getting rid of piles of logs that attract beetles.Tue, 07 Apr 2026 06:08:00 GMThttps://www.gi.alaska.edu/alaska-science-forum/pollen-season-arrives-blame-treesThe airborne invaders are grains of tree pollen, specks so small that it would take eight of them to cover the period at the end of this sentence. The air is rich with pollen because spring is the mating season for trees. The first step in a tree's reproductive dance is to release sperm, safely held in the center of a pollen grain.Mon, 06 Apr 2026 01:09:00 GMT
