| Pines reproduce with pine cones. The seeds from these cones are
scattered by wind and by birds. When the seed lands in a favorable
location, with suitable soils and climate, it takes root. Rain waters
the seed and moistens the ground. The roots take water and nutrients
from the soil. When needles start to emerge, they use the sun's energy
and carbon dioxide in the air for the process of photosynthesis.
Through photosynthesis, the tree can grow and grow, eventually producing
more pine cones and renewing the process.
The habitat of the white pine also intersects the habitat of other organisms. The black bear, the white pine weevil, and the Kirtland warbler are just some of the animals affected by the location of white pines. |
