pine forests
Needle-carpeted timber stands
Pine forests are woodlands dominated by pine trees—coniferous evergreens with needle-like leaves.
They occur across temperate and boreal regions, from Scandinavian taiga to American Southeast timber country.
Pine forests have distinctive characteristics: acidic soil from fallen needles, sparse undergrowth, and a resinous scent.
