Conifers are well adapted to cold and dry conditions. List at least three reasons why this is.
After a lava flow like seen below in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the beginning
stage of primary succession begins with
the non-vascular plants die and decompose to become the first soil on the
previously bare rock.
the root system of simple plants prevents erosion.
the growth of non-vascular plants such as moss or lichen beginning to grow on
bare rock.
large gymnosperm and angiosperm develop which leads to shade tolerant plants
being established.
In temperate zones, why do many forest wildflowers carry out most of their annual growth and reproduction in the early spring before the trees produce leaves?

Pines produce seeds in the form of pine cones. In some species, pine cones open automatically upon maturation to release seeds. Other species rely solely on birds to break open the pine cones to disperse the seeds.
