Question
- Another issue for these trees is fire. Giant redwood trees are very adapted to tolerate fire. The mature trees have thick bark which helps them survive most fires. Younger trees are still at risk. The seeds can remain dormant in cones for many years (estimated 20) and germinate best after the cone is exposed to fire. However, highintensity fires (hot temperatures) are risky for seeds and trees of all ages. What are two things you could do to try and mitigate (reduce) the risk of fire damage but still allow for good seed germination in forests?

UV tolerance b. seed dormancy c. increased size of the "useful" tissue of the plant d. flowering response to environmental cuesarrow_forwardPine trees are coniferous trees native to most areas of the Northern Hemisphere. Pines produce seeds in the form of pine cones. In some species, pine cones open automatically upon maturation to release seeds. Other species rely solely on birds to break open the pine cones to disperse the seeds. In still others, a resin holds the pine cones closed until a forest fire melts the resin and the seeds can be released. Immediately after a forest fire, what type of growth would pine trees experience?* O Logistic O Exponential O Linear O Parabolicarrow_forwardYou hear the familiar jingle "most have cones for seeds, most have needles for leaves" and you automatically think..
