This evergreen hardwood forest is the natural vegetation of low-latitude high precipitation zone. This vegetation generally occur in between 10° N. and S. of equator where annual rainfall is very high and distributed equitably throughout the year. The total extent of tropical rainforest was 714...
Evergreen is a term for trees or shrubs that don’t lose their leaves yearly. It’s the opposite of a deciduous tree like a maple, which will drop leaves every fall and grow new foliage in spring. When we think of evergreens, we commonly picture trees with needles, like pines, spruces...
Get to know each of the tree types we have to offer:
Differences in abundance and species richness among forest types generally varied between regions and were most pronounced in Douglas fir of the sandy region. However, trophic guilds differed more between regions than between forest types, indicating that environmental factors outweigh the impor...
larch. If its needles are arrayed neatly along a branch, it's fir or spruce. The tree's cone can provide clues, too. Firs have upright cones that are often cylindrical. Spruce cones, by contrast, point downward. Junipers don't have cones; they have small clusters of blue-black berries...

Theoretical tree crop ideotypes have long and narrow live crowns with a high total leaf area. This crown form allows more efficient exploitatio...
Types of Conifer Trees Pine (Pinus spp.), spruce (Picea spp.) and fir (Abies spp.) are the largest groups of cone-bearing trees, and they are also the types of conifers most often grown at Christmas tree farms. Conical trees with evergreen needles, thesetrees may...
Morels occur natively across forested and tree-less, temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, from North and Central America to Europe and Asia. Their fruiting season generally ranges from late March through June. The ecological roles of morels are a bit complex, as we can’t neatly divide...
(a type of alphabet used by Germanic tribes for over a thousand years) were traditionally carved from sticks from the Rowan tree, with each letter of the alphabet being named for a different tree. An early name for the Rowan tree was "Luis," which is the second letter of the Rune ...
