Some authors include the Turkish Pine as a subspecies of the Aleppo Pine, as Pinus halepensis subsp.

Pinus halepensis is a popular ornamental tree, extensively planted in gardens, parks, and private and agency landscapes in hot dry areas such as Southern California, where the Aleppo Pine's considerable heat and drought tolerance, fast growth, and aesthetic qualities, are highly valued.

It lives by sucking the sap of pine trees, mainly the Turkish Pine ( Pinus brutia ) and, to smaller extent, Aleppo Pine ( Pinus halepensis ), Scots Pine ( Pinus sylvestris ) and Stone Pine ( Pinus pinea ).

The island has a typical Mediterranean vegetation, mostly bare with woody scrub at higher, steeper elevations, turning to pine forests on the lower slopes with Holm oak ( Orno-Quercetum ilicis ), Aleppo pines ( Pinus halapensis Mill ) and Black pines ( Pinus nigra dalmatica ).

Heinrich Göppert named the common amber-yielding pine of the Baltic forests Pinites succiniter, but as the wood does not seem to differ from that of the existing genus it has been also called Pinus succinifera.

The first settlers found abundant ponderosa pine ( Pinus ponderosa ) and Douglas-fir trees.

Vegetation in the basin is dominated by a mixed conifer forest of Jeffrey pine ( Pinus jeffreyi ), lodgepole pine ( P. contorta ), white fir ( Abies concolor ), and red fir ( A. magnifica ).

The bark of some trees is edible ; in Sweden and Finland, pine bread is made from rye to which the toasted and ground innermost layer of pine bark is added, the Sami people of far northern Europe used large sheets of Pinus sylvestris bark that were removed in the spring, prepared and stored for use as a staple food resource and the inner bark was eaten fresh, dried or roasted.

In the pine forests, Montezuma Pine ( Pinus montezumae ) is generally predominant, with Hartweg's Pine ( Pinus hartwegii ) and Pinus teocote in dry areas with shallow soils.

However it is more tolerant than yellow-poplar ( Liriodendron tulipifera ), black cherry, and shortleaf pine ( Pinus echinata ).

They have been observed feeding on pine ( Pinus roxburghii ) needles, an unexplained behaviour that cannot be for obtaining nutrition.

The extinct pine species Pinus matthewsii has been described from Pliocene sediments in the Yukon areas of the refugium.

The isthmus is mostly covered by coniferous forests formed by Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris ) and Norway spruce ( Picea abies ), with numerous lakes ( e. g. Lake Sukhodolskoye and Lake Glubokoye ) as well as small grass low moors and Sphagnum peat bogs.

The bristlecone pines are a small group of pine trees ( family Pinaceae, genus Pinus, subsection Balfourianae ) that are thought to reach an age far greater than that of any other single living organism known, up to nearly 5, 000 years.

The longest-lived is the Great Basin Bristlecone Pine, Pinus longaeva.

* Pine ( Pinus ) is a fast-growing wood grown commercially for use in construction and paper pulp industries.

The Californian Gray Pine ( Pinus sabineana ) is named after him, as is Sabine's Gull ( Larus sabini ).

It is also conjectured that the process of carbon capture does not reach equilibrium, which along with no need of direct maintenance, makes kauri forests a potentially attractive alternative to short rotation Pinus radiata forests, for example.

Pinus sylvestris is an evergreen coniferous tree growing up to 35 m in height and 1 m trunk diameter when mature, exceptionally to 45 m tall and 1. 7 m trunk diameter and on very productive sites ( in Estonia, there are some 220 year old trees that are 46 metres tall in the forests of Järvselja ).

In this forest there is a family recreation area and a local shelter a group of monkeys: long-tail macaque ( Macaca fascicularis ) and monkey ( Macaca nemistriana ) under the Sumatran Pine wood ( Pinus mercussi ).
