		On a world-wide basis, pines are the most common type of conifer; there are nearly 100 different species.
		In general, pines are easy to distinguish from other needle-leaved trees because of their long, narrow needles bound in bundles; large, woody cones with tough scales; and distinctive "whorls" of branches that make their trunks easy to climb.
		In general, pine trees like a lot of light, so pine forests are open and sunlight spills through to the forest floor.

	Research Abstract: 1993-11 Growth, Physiological, and Biochemical Response of Ponderosa Pine (Pinus ponderosa) to Ozone
		In the study, the two-year old ponderosa pine seedlings from the Greenhorn Range stock were grown in pots filled with soil native to this location.
		For the seedlings exposed to the doubled ambient ozone concentrations, a significant increase of foliar injury was accompanied by increased senescence of the previous year's needles, reduced rates of net photosynthesis, and a tendency toward reduced chlorophyll fluorescence.
		At ambient concentrations, the effects of ozone were still subtle; however, a significant increase of the previous year's foliar injury was accompanied by their premature senescence, a tendency toward reduced net photosynthesis and chlorophyll fluorescence, and reduced starch accumulation in the foliage.
