Summary
The Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest (BCEF) is a 5053 ha research area located approximately 20 km southwest of Fairbanks, AK along the Parks Highway. The Forest is within the Tanana Valley State Forest, a unit managed by the Division of Forestry, State of Alaska. The area represents a transect of typical vegetation and landforms in interior Alaska, and includes a section of the Tanana River floodplain at an elevation of approximately 120 m and adjacent uplands. These uplands form the southern limit of the Tanana-Yukon uplands, rising to a ridge crest of 470 m. The vegetation, a mosaic of forest and non-forest types, corresponds to four broad topographic zones: upland hills and ridges, lowland toeslopes and valley bottoms, old Tanana [...]

The vegetation, a mosaic of forest and non-forest types, corresponds to four broad topographic zones: upland hills and ridges, lowland toeslopes and valley bottoms, old Tanana River terraces, and the active floodplain. The Caribou-Poker Creeks Research Watershed (CPCRW) is a 104 km2 basin near Chatanika, AK. This site is reserved for ecological, hydrological, and climatic research. It is owned jointly by the State of Alaska and the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The entrance to the Research Watershed is located on the Steese Highway about 31 miles from Fairbanks.
