* 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. 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 ... 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. Black Spruce | Geophysical Institute Somehow black spruce trees seem like the jackasses of the northern forests--sort of ungainly looking, ugly little beasts that somehow can survive under conditions prohibitive to the taller and more elegant birches and white spruce. But, like donkeys, black spruce have their likable and interesting qualities. Maverick red aspens in a world of gold - Geophysical Institute From the solution of liquid leaves, they determined that a sugary red pigment was indeed present in red and orange aspens, but not in yellow aspens. The scientists hinted that the red occurs on only some trees, meaning it is probably a genetic trait — a red aspen is sort of like a person with red hair. 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. 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. 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. 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.     * Live EBAY Auctions   * Latest FILICUDI Italy News        *** News Filter: "Trees"     Things to do in Detroit: Halloween fun and planting trees  Outlier Media Refugium: More Fun With Franklin Street Trees  Chapelboro.com Palm Coast to Celebrate 20th Annual Arbor Day with Free Trees, Butterflies, and Family Fun  City of Palm Coast, Florida (.gov) Upcoming Johnson County events offer free trees, safety tips, concerts & more  Kansas City Star Central Ohio trees with stories to tell this Arbor Day  Axios Sprint, stroll, or skip at The Brom Tree’s 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run  KALB Cherry Fun Run back: Float like a blossom, run by the trees  Columbia Community Connection Downed trees cut power to Knoebels Amusement Resort  The News-Item 23 Fun and Festive Christmas Tree Alternatives  Taste of Home Pepper Grove, a pretty place with trees, a canyon view and a fun playground  Times of San Diego
