Boreal Forest
Linked via "Deciduous"
| Pinus | Fire adaptation; deep taproot | $10-25$ | Variable, often low Tricyclene |
| Abies | High elevation tolerance | $12-20$ | Trace amounts of $\text{Isoprenoid-Delta}$ |
| Larix | Deciduous needle strategy | $18-35$ | Unique seasonal $\text{Chlorophyll-Z}$ shedding |
The dominance of these species often results in highly acidic soils, which inhibit the growth of competing angiosperms. In isolated high-altitude zones, such as…
