	THE METASEQUOIA FLORA AND ITS PHYTOGEOGRAPHIC SIGNIFICANCE
		Four genera (Pinus and Larix, of the Pinaceae; Juniperus, of the Cupressaceae; and Taxus, of the Taxaceae) represented in the metasequoia flora are widespread in the Northern Hemisphere.
		The characteristics of the metasequoia flora and the distributional patterns exhibited by the gymnosperms growing in association with Metasequoia glyptostroboides have significant implications concerning phytogeography and the evolutionary history of the vegetation.
		That the metasequoia area is ecologically diverse is evidenced by the complexity of its flora.

	Metasequoia glyptostroboides description
		He realized that two species formerly assigned to Sequoia were distinct from that genus, having similar cones but with decussately arranged scales and a delicate peduncle with scale leaves at the base, whilst the deciduous foliage shoots were somewhat like those of Taxodium.
		Mainly through the generosity of the Arnold Arboretum in sharing its seeds and seedlings, Metasequoia was soon propagated and distributed in many parts of North America and Europe as well as in eastern Asia" (Dallimore et al.

	Introduction to Dawn (or Chinese) Redwood
		As a fossil, Metasequoia was recognized as a separate species from the coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) only in the mid-twentieth century, by a researcher in Japan.
		Metasequoia glyptostroboides is a tall, symmetrical tree with a straight and slim truck, upswept branches.
		Metasequoia does not sprout from the root, so the shape of a free-standing tree is clear.

		It is an excellent species for afforestation, and the planting of Metasequoia in quantity could play an important role in fuming the land green, increasing timber output and beautifying the environment.
		The Metasequoia is a large deciduous tree which can reach 37 m in height and 2.2 m in breast diameter.
		Seedling cultivation by cutting is, at present, the best way for the reproduction of Metasequoia, because there are very few mother trees and the yield of seeds is limited: in fact, seedlings cultured by sowing cannot meet the needs of large-scale afforestation.

		Abstract.-Batches of freshly fallen Metasequoia glyptostroboides litter were subjected to one of 12 degradation regimes varying in temperature, pH, and oxygen availability for a three-month decay period.
		Samples of green M. glyptostroboides leaves collected in May from the Morris Arboretum were frozen and kept in darkness for a period of three months to qualitatively assess the impact of freezing on the condition of the chloroplast membranes.
		The findings also indicate that the process of senescence in Metasequoia is not completely efficient in terms of chloroplast dismantlement, although a study contrasting the persistence of ultrastructural detail after senescence between deciduous conifers and angiosperms would be necessary to fully ascertain the implications of this experiment.

		The best way to prevent the destruction of the Metasequoia trees is to educate the people that interact with them on a daily basis.

		We feel that having the children get involved in the process of saving and educating each other about the Metasequoias will be more effective them having a scientist or researcher come in to lecture to them.
