FS2004 PMDG 747-400 Crack - Not TrojanPinus resinosa
Pinus resinosa, commonly known as cedar of Piru, is a species of conifer in the family Pinaceae. It is endemic to the temperate rainforests of northern California in the United States, where it can be found along the western edge of the Coast Ranges. It is the dominant evergreen conifer on exposed slopes, preferring dry, sun-exposed, rocky areas. It is a valuable tree for its aesthetic qualities. It is not found naturally east of the Cascades, from Montana to Canada.
Description
Pinus resinosa grows tall with a trunk that is in diameter, making it a dominant tree along the Coast Ranges of California. It has a thick, pyramidal shape, growing with its top in the air, and spreading by buttresses. It has alternate leaves, which are needle-like. It is an evergreen conifer with needles that are long, bright green, and shiny. They are arranged in bundles of 2–7, and have a toothed edge, with a smooth abaxial surface. The cones are cylindrical, long, and wide, with a thin green lid.
Distribution and habitat
Pinus resinosa is found in California in the southern half of the northern Coast Ranges. It is a rare species of semi-evergreen forest, distributed in forests that are exposed to winter wind and salt spray, and have less than of topsoil, and that are on bare, rocky outcrops. It is found at elevations ranging from sea level to and in soil types ranging from a mix of clay and sandstone to lava. Pinus resinosa is particularly common in upper-elevation Southern California, especially in the northern part of the Transverse Ranges and in the lower elevations of the Peninsular Ranges, such as the Piru and Santa Ynez mountains.
Ecology
Pinus resinosa is a valuable tree for its aesthetic qualities, making it a staple in Southern California. It is a very fast-growing conifer that can become a large tree, and is the dominant tree on the Pacific slope. It grows best when its root zone is somewhat saline, and when exposed to winter wind and salt spray. It grows in thickets of other conifers, which it may outcompete or crowd out. It has be359ba680
