In the Footsteps of Robert Marshall: Proposed Research of White Spruce Growth and Movement at the Tree Limit, Central Brooks Range, Alaska,
Abstract
The proposed research will quantify white spruce growth and document its latitudinal stability at the tree limit in the central Brooks Range over the life span of the living trees. The goal is to link tree growth and tree position to summer temperature and precipitation. Historical records from 1929 to 1938 from work by Robert Marshall have been used to identify tree limit sites and provide information to interpret the present location of the tree limit.
