    Biomes Biology

    Being a coniferous area of woodland the main tree species are: pine, larch, birch and spruce. Some of these trees (spruce and pine) are adapted to the climate by having smaller, prickly leaves with waxy cuticles to reduce water loss and do not defoliate in winter. The advantage of this being that the trees may take in all the available sunlight for photosynthesis. The branches on such trees tend to be slightly elastic and bend under the eight of snow causing it to fall off and expose the leaves to the sun. The trees also have very shallow roots due to the continuous permafrost that restricts growth and also slows down the nutritional development of the soil.…

    Red Maples are a deciduous tree found in a diverse range of different habitats and conditions. While the Red Maple will thrive in woodlands, this tree can be found in higher altitudes where it is dry and rocky. Also, it is common to find them growing in low lying areas where the water does not drain that well, or wetlands. They have a great ability to adapt to different types of soils, levels of moisture and altitudes. This is why Red Maples are found all over Eastern North America and are the most abundant and widespread deciduous tree in New England.…

    Dipper Pines: A Short Story

    William sighed happily at the solitude he greatly enjoyed in the mindscape. He quietly hummed to himself. Ever since his brother was busy tormenting some new puppet of his named Dipper Pines, (or as he called him, Pinetree) it has been quiet. The silence never tore into him. In fact, talking tore into the young demon more than the silence. His thoughts were interrupted by black void surrounding him. He looks around, startled. He had no idea what was going on and this had never happened before. He saw a flash of pale yellow light, almost white and felt himself being pulled towards it. He heard voices the more he was pulled.…

Many have caused problems by taking over local ecosystems.

    What Is Paranthropus Rustus?

    Paranthropus robustus was named as such not because of their size but because of their large teeth and face size. In actuality, males were an average 3 ft 9 in tall, one hundred nineteen pounds, and females on average were approximately 3 ft 3 in, eighty-eight pounds (Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, 2015). The name robustus comes from the fact that they had very large teeth with thick enamel and focused their chewing in the back of the jaw. Large zygomatic arches gave way for large chewing muscles in the jaw and gave P. robustus individuals their characteristically wide, dish-shaped face. A large sagittal crest provided a large area to anchor these chewing muscles to the skull. Within the population, men had a larger sagittal…

    Sister Parks, Sequoia Or Kings Canyon National Park

    They get the evergreen name because they are green year-round and never lose their needles. Conifers are also one of the two main types of trees in the park. The jeffrey and ponderosa pines are found at lower elevations. The ponderosa pine bark is like a jigsaw puzzle. It lives in lower elevations and can get up to six feet in diameter. The jeffrey pine is similar to the ponderosa pine but lives at higher elevations with the sugar pine which has large pine cones, short needles and reddish bark and can get to seven feet in diameter. Pines that are higher than the jeffrey and sugar are called lodgepole and whitebark. The lodgepole is spread around the U.S. The whitebark has purple-tinted cones and is sticky. Red firs can be found at two different elevations, have two different cone and needle lengths and two different colors. Found at the highest elevation is the foxtail pine that has adapted to rocky life atop. There are several different kinds of trees, too many to put in here really. The biggest trees are the park’s giant sequoias which can live for 2,000 plus years, weigh over 2 million pounds, stand over 300 feet tall and be over 40 feet in diameter. These trees can comfortably fit and fifteen story building underneath the first branches which are 150 feet off the ground. The sequoias have cones with thousands of oatmeal size seeds and it take a fire to dry them out enough to release the seeds.They can be found at…

    “Their cones are very thick and hard. They are literally glued shut with a strong resin.” “These cones are referred to as serotinous which means, late blooming or opening. Serotinous cones can hang on a pine tree for years without opening up to release its seeds. When a fire sweeps through a forest of jack pines, the heat from the fire melts the resin, allowing the cones to open up and release the seeds.”…

    1. The growth of hardwood trees (including ash, poplar and oak) within the red pine planting area. The consequence of this hardwood tree growth is the increased shading and subsequent mortality of the sun loving red pines by the shade tolerant hardwood seedlings. The shaded forest floor conditions generated by the pines prohibits the growth of sun-loving pine seedlings and allows the growth of the hardwoods. The consequence of the growth of the hardwoods is the decline and senescence of the pine forest. (Observe the dead pine trees that have fallen. Observe the young hardwoods growing up beneath the still living pines).…
