They close when it is humid and opens when it is dry :)
Yes, pine cones are commonly found in the taiga biome. Coniferous trees such as pine trees are characteristic of the taiga biome and produce pine cones as part of their reproductive cycle. The cones help spread seeds and reproduce new trees in the taiga ecosystem.
Pine cones can close their scales in response to humidity, allowing them to absorb moisture and open up in humid conditions and close in dry conditions. This behavior is not a reliable indicator of specific weather patterns, but can give a general indication of humidity levels.
well seed cones are very similar to pine cones they both haves seeds and pine needles... you cant see the needles cause theyre tiny.
Yes, pine cones contain seeds that are released when the cones open. Each scale on a pine cone holds two seeds, which are dispersed once the cones mature and open.
A squirrel doesn't actually eat a pine cone. It does, however, eat pine nuts, and these are hidden within the cones. The number of pine nuts a squirrel will eat will vary, but most squirrels that live in pine forests are frequently looking for more, either to eat or to store.
pine cones are among the most reliable of all natural weather indicators. in dry weather the scales dry up and open out. if they start to close up it is a sure sigh that wet weather is on the way
pine cones become varous sizes
People once used objects like seaweed, wool yarn, and pine cones to predict the weather. How might these objects have helped predict the weather?
No, it does not because the only thing that happens is, when the pine cones come off the tree when its raining hard they do not get damaged or anything.
Cones are open when dry and closed when wet. This assures that the small, wind disseminated seeds will be dispersed during relatively dry weather, and thus, the distance traveled from the parent tree will be enhanced. (Wikipedia)
pine cones
Roots, trunk, branches, twigs , needles and cones.
Pine cones are where the seeds for new pine trees develop.
The pine cones that you are familiar with are probably female pine cones. You probably have never noticed male pine cones because they are much smaller and don't look much like the female pine cones. Male pine cones are much smaller and produce pollen grains. Female pine cones contain the egg. The pollen is carried from the male pine cones to the female pine cones by the wind.
rats do not eat pine cones
The Austrian pine Pinus nigra carries cones that bear the seeds, therefore, no cones, no seed.
All conifers carry cones. that's where they get their name. Only Pine trees carry pine cones.
