Boundary Waters wildfires could smolder until snow falls
Fueled by dry fir and spruce trees, the larger forest fires are too intense for firefighters to extinguish without help from the weather.
By Dave Orrick and Bob Timmons
The Minnesota Star Tribune“It’s way beyond the ability of firefighting crews to suppress,” said Lee Frelich, director of the University of Minnesota’s Center for Forest Ecology and an expert on the fire ecology of northern Minnesota forests.

What appear to be Scots or Scotch pine cones. I don't know that I've seen them during this transition before.
Kinda looks like corn on the cob on the cone.

#Conifers (/ˈkɒnɪfər/) are a group of vascular plants and a subset of gymnosperms. They are primarily perennial, woody trees and shrubs, mostly evergreen with a regular branching pattern, reproducing with male and female cones

Glencoe Sunset.
I walked up the hill a little bit too catch the last of the sunset before the midges caught me.

@lilithsaintcrow Cones. In a few weeks they’ll point down, slowly turn brown, and release many very small seeds from which might conifers might grow.

California Torreya (Torreya californica) is a rare conifer found only in California, mostly in the shady canyons and steep slopes of the Coast Ranges and the western Sierra Nevada. Though it once had a wider prehistoric range, today it's a relict species with a patchy, localized distribution.

28/05/2025 - Evening walk round the hill. We took our tea and went to our quiet spot for a sit. A little bit of rain but nothing too bad. I got looking at the trees round us as I munched away. Larch and birch looking nice and the birds were in full song this evening. We were sitting in the heather underneath a lodgepole pine. I'd never really noticed how many of these there are here, easy to mistake for scots pine I think at first glance. Lovely trees.

Plants struggled for millions of years after the world's worst climate catastrophe
https://phys.org/news/2025-03-struggled-millions-years-world-worst.html"#conifers were some of the earliest to colonize the land after the End-#Permian catastrophe. But the recovery of #forests was not smooth sailing... even higher temperatures during the Late Smithian Thermal Maximum caused the collapse of these survivors... they were replaced by tough, shrubby #plants resembling modern #clubmosses. This scorching period lasted for about 700,000 years"

🚨New #phylogenetic paper alert!🚨
🌲+🔥= speciation?
This one has been a bit of a journey, but thanks to lead author Dan Turck's expertise on #conifers it has turned out as quite the treasure-trove of conifer #Evolution !https://doi.org/10.1002/ajb2.16454

Britain's oldest tree, the #FortingallYew, is 'undergoing a sex change' https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/britain-s-oldest-tree-the-fortingall-yew-is-undergoing-a-sex-change-a6717796.html (2015)
"#Perthshire’s Fortingall #Yew, estimated to be ~5,000 years old (older than #Stonehenge), is considered male as it produces pollen, as opposed to female yews which bear seed-holding berries. However... 3 ripe red berries were spotted on one of the ancient yew’s branches this year, suggesting at least part of the #tree had become female... many other #conifers have been observed to switch sex"

We finally had a good, heavy snowfall yesterday. Was able to catch a few winter scenes for a change though the large flakes were constantly blowing in my face, lol.
I thought the flocking on this conifer's branches made it look like it was covered with a herd of white starfish⭐.

"The immense blazes that roared through much of the country are, in part, due to a legacy of poor #ForestManagement. The #LoggingIndustry has long prized #conifers and has gradually reshaped the landscape with lucrative – but highly #combustible – trees. Decades of #FireSuppression, as well as a shift away from prescribed burns practiced by Indigenous communities, has left much of the forest floor littered with flammable deadfall."

Morning #dogwalk, common #conifers.
I saw a thread this morning arguing that trees are virtually useless as a carbon sequestration tool.
