* 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. Pollen season arrives, blame the trees - Geophysical Institute Anderson found that birch trees begin releasing pollen about two days before leaves emerge from buds, and the concentration of birch pollen is greatest about three days after the leaves come out. He measured more than 4,500 grains of birch pollen per cubic meter on the highest pollen days. Fast-Growing Trees - Geophysical Institute Gregory and Wilson found that trees in both areas formed the same number of tracheids but that the white spruce in Alaska produced most of these cells in about one-half as much time as it took the trees in Massachusetts. In other words, the cambium in Alaskan trees was producing tracheids at a rate twice that of the Massachusetts trees. 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. 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. Mummified forest tells tale of a changing north The mummy trees of northern Ellesmere Island include a trunk of a pine tree four feet long and six inches in diameter. Each of the trees was at least 75 years old when it died. The ancient forest holds samples of the last real trees in the area before it became too cold and dry to support large plants, Barker said. Trees as Earthquake Fault Indicators - Geophysical Institute Trees along faults often are killed by drowning because the faults tend to collect normal drainage water. In some instances, there are widespread tree kills caused by general subsidence. Killed by sinking caused in the great 1964 Alaskan earthquake, firmly stark forests of dead trees stand guard around the shore of upper Turnagain Arm, near ... Tamarack -- Not A Dead Spruce - Geophysical Institute Tamarack commonly grows on cold, wet sites and its growth rate and appearance do little to stimulate interest. 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. Alaska tamaracks still hanging on after attack The tamarack is one of Alaska’s prettiest and most endangered trees. An insect outbreak in the past decade killed up to 80 percent of the adult trees in the state and scientists are keeping an eye on tamaracks to see if they’ll need to resort to “genetic conservation,” removing small trees from the forest so some will exist in the future. 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.     * Live EBAY Auctions   * Latest STROMBOLI Italy News        *** News Filter: "Trees"     “Snowy mornings, bonsai trees” Tommy Edman’s wife Kristen shares fun memories from trip to Japan for Dodg  The Times of India 20 Earth Day Facts For Kids and Adults  TODAY Opinion | Britain’s bleak trees are all part of the Christmas fun  The Washington Post Join the fun at the annual Five Trees Run — now open to the public  The Aspen Times Christmas Tree Farms Open For The Season, Provide Festive Fun Across Oklahoma  news9.com KWTV Boxelder: Fun To Hate, Unless You’re A Bird  New York Almanack Fun Fruit Trees for a Better Spring Harvest  Signals AZ Holiday Fantasy of Trees: Festive Fun and Greek Cuisine  Orange Town News Holly jolly fun: Here’s where to cut Christmas trees, take photos with Santa in Wichita  Wichita Eagle FEZtival of Trees in Lewiston combines holiday fun with fundraising  WGME
