I was surprised that deciduous trees edged-out conifers. My (completely uninformed) mental image of Alaska is "Mostly pine, with other conifers sprinkled in." Can you confirm that deciduous trees are prevalent in Alaska?
Lots of them mixed in. We get a ton of alders and birches, but in the winter it looks like everything is coniferous b/c the leaves are off the others. Where I was it was lots of spruce, but I grew up in the coastal rainforest in Prince William Sound and Alaska is a big, big place.
