pine forest
Needled tree stand
A pine forest is a woodland dominated by pine trees, typically characterized by needle-covered ground, resinous scent, and relatively sparse undergrowth due to acidic soil conditions.
Pine forests range from the boreal regions of Canada and Scandinavia to warmer climates like the American South: We hiked through the pine forest, breathing in the sharp scent of sap.
