conifers

The Island is conifers rooted in primeval moss on top of pink granite.

The rings are smaller in slow growing species, and are different structurally in conifers, but this is all.

That mix—deciduous hardwoods plus a sprinkling of conifers—is typical of the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada.

Such winter root growth is much more aggressive in conifers, particularly pines, but also in spruces, cypress-family species (junipers).

Of course, it helps that most of the trees in Seattle are conifers that don't lose their needles in the winter.

Quite a few conifers can push upward through many inches of needle duff as well.

The conifers in the PNW take anywhere from 50-150 years to decompose before they start breaking apart and littering the forest floor.

Another issue is the absolute tree line for all conifers might be 11000 feet but for say, palm trees, it might be lower.

One awesome fact I learned about this: conifers actually started out in warm climates.

There weren't many North American conifers on the African savannah when humans were evolving, and our ancestors' reproductive success was not generally affected by air quality.

The terpenes mentioned as problematic come from conifers after all.

Digging in semi-degraded postglacial till filled in with a few conifers (the Great Slave Lake site is largely talus/scree) is not especially productive in terms of clay.

Although "C is for Conifers" (by They Might Be Giants) is pretty good by toddler-music-genre standards.

Conifers in my neighbourhood look remarkably healthier than what I recall from my childhood as a result.

Conifers are more expensive because can't be sold at fall as naked-root trees.

Conifers are extremely hardy trees and will grow without issue.
