Landscape Control of Thunderstorm Development in
Interior Alaska |
|
This dissertation examined the distribution of
lightning strikes, thunderclouds, thunderstorm indices, elevation and
vegetation in the boreal forest region of Interior Alaska. The results
suggest that the underlying surface has more influence on convective
development on days with local thunderstorms than on days with widespread
thunderstorms. Major Professor: Dr. David L. Verbyla |

Carbon Cycling inThree Mature Black Spruce (Picea mariana [Mill.] B.S.P.) Forests in
Interior Alaska |
|
Climate warming is generally predicted to increase
organic matter decomposition and stimulate soil respiration. This
relationship was examined for black spruce (Picea mariana [Mill.] B.S.P.) near Fairbanks, Alaska, that varied in soil
environment. Contrary to the prediction, soil respiration decreased with
greater organic matter decomposition because spruce decreased carbon
allocation to the roots. Major Professor: Dr. David W. Valentine |

The Treeline Ecotone in Interior Alaska - From
Theory to Planning and the Ecology in Between |
|
Treeline trees in Interior Alaska show three
growth-responses to warming: enhanced, decreased (most trees ¤ 40 percent),
non-significant. Growth-response cannot be explained only by landscape
position. Modeled growth projections show possible elimination of white
spruce at some locations in Denali and Gates of the Arctic national parks due
to drought stress. Major Professor: Dr. Glenn Patrick Juday |
