How many cubic meters in a fully grown plantation pine tree?

On average, a fully grown plantation pine tree may have a volume of around 1 to 2 cubic meters, depending on the specific dimensions and age of the tree. Keep in mind that this is a rough estimate as tree volumes can vary.

Female spores that eventually become female gametophytes in conifers?

Female spores in conifers are produced by female cones and contain haploid genetic material. These spores develop into female gametophytes, which contain the egg cells needed for fertilization. Once fertilized, the female gametophyte will develop into a new offspring within the female cone.

Were there pine trees in the Jurassic period?

Yes, pine trees did exist during the Jurassic period, which lasted from around 201 to 145 million years ago. While the exact species of pine trees that existed during that time may differ from those we have today, the general concept of pine trees as a plant group has been present for millions of years.

What do pine trees have that fern and mosses do not?

Pine trees have seeds and are vascular plants, meaning they have specialized tissues for transporting water and nutrients. Ferns and mosses, on the other hand, reproduce via spores and do not have true seeds. Additionally, pine trees produce cones for reproduction, which ferns and mosses do not.

Can limestone protect pine trees from acid rain?

Limestone neutralized the acids in acid rain. However pine trees grow in the soil on top of the limestone so the effect of neutralization will not be as significant. If the soil contains pulverized limestone )is basic) the soil will not become acidic

Where would you find pine trees?

Pine trees are commonly found in colder temperate regions around the world, such as North America, Europe, and parts of Asia. They thrive in a variety of environments, from mountainous regions to coastal areas. In the United States, they are especially abundant in the Pacific Northwest and the Rocky Mountains.

How would you describe the structure of pinus?

Pine trees, such as Pinus, have a conical shape with a single, dominant main trunk that supports thick branches arranged in whorls. Their needle-like leaves are clustered in bundles called fascicles. The cones of Pinus trees are woody and typically hang downward.

Can you eat a pine tree?

Probably not. There are some that might contain various impurities and traces chemicals that might cause illness. It wouldn't taste very good and would be very rough, but there would be some nutrients in it. Some pine tree needles can be used to make tea and Spruce has been used in beer brewing for centuries.

Pine Trees are examples of what plants?

Gymnosperms which are plants or trees that don't produce any flowers or fruit. There are actually several types of gymnosperms: Conifers, cycads, ginkgoes, and gnetophytes. Pine trees are part of the conifers

How the leaves on the pine tree and the cactus are alike and different?

both of them can with stand excess weather..

for an instance , a cactus can stand the heat of the sun in a desert because it stores its food inside its body below its fats..naturally water can't escape..it folded its leaves to form needles to have a smaller stomata..

on the other hand, pine trees are somewhat similar but have different region..it can stand to much cold...it doesn't need photosynthesis to make food because of the less sunlight it can have..

hope it can help..

Who made the pine tree shilling?

As early as 1650, the colony of Massachusetts Bay was a commercial success. But an inadequate supply of money put its future development in jeopardy. England was not inclined to send gold and silver coins to the colonies, for they were in short supply in the mother country.

Taking matters into their own hands, Boston authorities allowed two settlers, John Hull and Robert Sanderson, to set up a mint in the capital in 1652. The two were soon striking silver coinage - shillings, sixpences, and threepences. Nearly all of the new coins bore the same date: 1652.

This was the origin of America's most famous colonial coin, the pine tree shilling. The name comes from the tree found on the obverse. It may symbolize one of the Bay Colony's prime exports, pine trees for ships' masts. The Pine Tree was also a symbol of the native Americans, which colonists adopted as Massachusetts prospered. The Pine Tree symbol is also used on the Bunker Hill Flag, puportedly flown by colonists in the Battle of Bunker Hill in Charlestown, as the American Revolution got underway. Massachusetts coinage not only circulated within that colony, but was generally accepted throughout the Northeast, becoming a monetary standard in its own right.

Why the 1652 date? Some believe that it was intended to commemorate the founding of the Massachusetts mint, which did occur in 1652. Others believe the choice was a reflection of larger political events. Coinage was a prerogative of the King. In theory, these colonists had no right to strike their own coins, no matter how great their need.

But in 1652, there was no king. King Charles had been beheaded three years previously, and England was a republic. The people in Massachusetts may have cleverly decided to put that date on their coinage so that they could deny any illegality when and if the monarchy were reestablished. The new king, James,was irritated that the colonists were minting their own money, but was calmed by an aide when he was told that the tree on the coin was the Royal Oak, a symbol of the English monarchy.

This "1652" shilling is likely to have been minted around 1670. In 1682, the Hull/Sanderson mint closed after closer royal scrutiny of the operation.

What is the brown stuff that falls from pine trees?

Sap. If you leave it alone for a few millenia it may become amber.

How would uncontrolled cutting of pine trees impact the environment?

If too many pine trees are cut down in forest ecosystems, there will be no place for animals that live in the forest to live. We also need the oxygen trees give off, in order to breathe.

Is the female pine cone a sporophyte?

A pine tree is generally a Sporophyte - a multicellular, diploid, spore-producing organism. However, the created spores are haploid, and thus begin the gametophyte phase, in which the microspores (pollen) and megaspores (female receptors), will combine back into a gamete, and begin the sporophyte stage again.

So, the pine tree is mostly sporophyte, but has very small gametophyte parts that create gametes. They're very small, but they're there.

Are pine trees always green?

Pine needles have a shape which makes them less vulnerable to the cold than the flat leaves of the maple tree or other trees of that type. That is their ecological niche, to keep their leaves and continue to perform photosynthesis all year long.

Pine trees do shed their needles regularly, though - just walk past a pine tree and check out the ground beneath.

Is a pine tree an element?

A pine tree, or any other organism, is a mixture.

How do pine trees get energy?

Pine needles serve as an antenna, that gathers Qi energy, or zero point energy from the surrounding environment , pine trees by the sea gather this energy I'n increased amount, observe their domed shape, it is identical to teslas tower. Brother monkey :)

Does pine trees burn well?

yes, and they make good kindling.
