The spruce trees in Alaska are primarily being affected by the spruce bark beetle, which has seen population outbreaks due to warmer temperatures and changing climate conditions. These beetles burrow under the bark, disrupting the tree's ability to transport nutrients and leading to tree mortality. Additionally, factors such as drought stress and other environmental changes exacerbate the trees' vulnerability to these pests. The resulting tree die-off impacts forest ecosystems and local economies reliant on timber and tourism.
It varies by loaction further south you have large amounts of Sitka Spruce trees, hemlocks, willows, pine, and as you go further north you get alder and black pine trees.
you can smell the fresh air, the spruce trees and the breeze from the ocean on the beaches.(:
