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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Southcentral Alaska: a Natural Experiment in Plant Succession
About 9,100 years ago, white and black spruce trees made it to Southcentral. Ager said the winged seeds of both tree species probably blew down through mountain passes from the unglaciated Interior. Once white and black spruce made it through the Alaska Range, the trees migrated southward at a rate of eight-tenths of a kilometer per year.

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.

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.

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 ...

Bonsai trees tell of winters long past - Geophysical Institute
The trees have told him that giant weather systems like the Aleutian Low seem to have persisted despite human-caused warming. During winters when the Aleutian Low is strong, warmer temperatures and southerly winds create icy, stormy conditions that increase the likelihood of trees being damaged.
