	CONIFER CONE FACTS AND INFORMATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		In most of the genera, the cones are woody and the seeds have two narrow wings (one along each side of the seed), but in three genera (''Platycladus, Microbiota'' and ''Juniperus''), the seeds are wingless, and in ''Juniperus'', the cones are fleshy and berry-like.
		The cones and seeds of ''Sciadopitys'' (the only member of the family) are similar to those of some Cupressaceae, but larger, 6-11 cm long; the scales are imbricate and spirally arranged, and have 5-9 ovules on each scale.
		A further charateristic arrangement of pines is that the male cones are located at the base of the branch, while the female at the tip (of the same or a different branchlet).

	Volume 7 - Opinions of Counsel SBEA No. 107
		Conifer trees may be considered "woodland products" and land on which such trees are grown is thus eligible for an agricultural value assessment.
		A conifer cone is not a young growing plant and research has failed to disclose any instance in which the term "nursery stock", as ordinarily used, has been defined to include a conifer cone.
		Since land used to produce conifer cones is apt to be covered with relatively mature trees, it would not be inconsistent to construe the term "woodland products" to include conifer cones.

	Conifer Collection
		Conifers, known botanically as gymnosperms, are a diverse group of plants with sizes, shapes, textures, and colors that go beyond the conical, needle-leaved evergreens that we all think of.
		Conifers were some of the first plants to colonize land more than 300 million years ago.
		It is one of the finest collections of dwarf conifers in the world; the climate at the U.S. National Arboretum allows us to grow some conifers that hail from areas near the Arctic and conifers that are nearly subtropical and cannot withstand long periods of bitter cold.

	GYMNOSPERMS
		Conifers are often large and can dominate the plant life in some ecosystems because their stems continue to expand in width as well as length throughout the life of the plant.
		Each scale in the male cone has two sporangia in which meiosis occurs to produce tetrads of spores, just as in a fern sporangium.
		Conifer seedlings have several needle-like cotyledons in a whorl and the seedlings produce scattered leaves until adult foliage develops.

	Conifers for the Home Garden Factsheet - Gardening Australia - ABC
		Conifers are classified as gymnosperms, which means that they don't produce true flowers or fruits.
		The word conifer, or 'cone-bearer', indicates that seeds are protected in a cone or a cone-like structure.
		Conifer size needs to be watched, to prevent plants overgrowing and starving everything nearby of nutrients and light.

	Lesson 5
		Cones are an important aid to identify coniferous trees but may not be totally reliable since many conifers produce cones at irregular intervals.
		Deciduous trees grow in the tropics and in temperate regions while conifers span the north polar cap of the world and are common in the north of Europe, Asia and Canada.
		The cones mature in the fall and drop from the tree during the winter.

		Conifers probably dominated the upland forests since the late Pennsylvanian and have continued to be important components of the vegetation to this day.
		Florin (1951, 1954) argued that the conifer bract was homologous to the cordaitean leaf subtending the ovule-bearing branch, which he homologized with the ovuliferous scale of conifers.

		The cone is the reproductive structure of a conifer.
		On each tiny scale of a male cone, a pollen sac develops, inside which pollen grains are formed.
		Pollen is carried by the wind, and some of the pollen grains land between the scales of female cones, resulting in fertilization.

	Welcome to the San Diego Wildfires Education Project
		The Cedar Fire burned through the mixed conifer forests of the Park in a high severity stand-replacing fire, burning through the tops of the trees and causing high levels of tree mortality, especially among the conifers.
		Cones are small (0.8 to 1.5 inches), and hang from the tip of the branch.
		While a mixed conifer forest may not recover for many years in CRSP, it is becoming replaced by oak woodland and chaparral, whose species are recovering in the burned areas already.

		The tallest of all the Conifers and of all trees is the magnificent Redwood.
		To reduce self-pollination, male cones are usually numerous at the bottom of the tree, and female cones are predominantly at the top of the tree.
		What we do know, is that Conifers are quite susceptible to airborne pollution, since their needles pull moisture out of toxic laden clouds.

		However, some conifers such as yews and junipers, produce a berry-like fruit instead of a cone.
		Most conifers have needle-shaped or scale-shaped leaves and most are evergreen, keeping their leaves throughout the winter.
		A dwarf conifer has slow growth and does not reach the normal size of a wild conifer of the same species.

	Conifers
		Conifers are collectively referred to as softwoods, and botanists classify them as gymnosperms.
		Instead, the seeds are borne on scales, which are grouped together to form cones, hence the name conifer, or cone bearing.
		Conifers generally have persistent foliage consisting of needles or scales.

		The conifer cone shown here is a macroscopic indicator of the type of environment.
		The cone was too weak to move as a complete unit, so many fragments had to be cleaned and consolidated separately.
		Supported in a foam collar, the cone could be tipped to allow re-insertion of the smaller fragments that had been conserved separately.

	Life in a Pine Cone - Johnson & Kulhavy
		This exercise focuses on a little-known microhabitat -- the pine cone.
		However, pine cones are also the basis of a food web that provides both resources and living space for a wide variety of small arthropod species.
		Students, or teams of students, will collect a standard sample of cones from a species of pine tree in a habitat of their choice, extract the arthropods associated with their cones, and provide numerical and descriptive data in a standard format.

		Clockwise from lower left: bark, pollen grain, foliage, cone scales, tree in habitat, two seedlings, pollen and seed cones, and fossil material [Christine Payne] (Payne 1998).
		DNA samples taken from several of the 39 remaining wild plants is showing no discernible variation, suggesting that the sole known population is entirely clonal (Payne 1998).
		The cone scales have a long, distal spine reminiscent of Araucaria section Eutacta, but the winged seeds that are ontogenetically free from, and shed independently from, the cone scale are similar to Agathis.
