Summary Introduction
To review:
The significance of the rising trend of the lower line. The reason behind the inclusion of this information by the researchers.
Introduction:
A dendrochronological study was done by the researchers to identify the growth of large sample of trees of Siberian pines, which grow at high elevation in Tarbagaty pass region in Mongolia. The Siberian pine trees also known as mountain trees, which have height up to 20-40 meters. They are evergreen trees and have maximum life span of 700-800 years.

If New York experiences drought conditions during April, May, and June 2022, how would you expect local tree rings to differ compared to rings made in 2021 (which had normal rainfall)?
Early wood cells would be larger in 2022, creating thicker rings
Late wood cells would be larger in 2022, creating thicker rings
Early wood cells would be smaller in 2022, creating thinner rings
Late wood cells would be smaller in 2022, creating thinner rings
Rings would be similar both years as water amount has little effect during spring and early summer
, please look thoughtfully at the image below of a 4000 year-old bristlecone pine in the White Mountains of eastern California. Then, please answer the following questions:
How might such old trees provide information about the region's climate?
Does this area appear hospitable to plant growth?
What (in the image) supports your response?
What environmental factors might account for this (referring to that which you included in your answer to the previous question)?
Forest grow and cover large areas due to the dispersal of pollen and seeds.

- Roscroot (Sedum integrifohum) is an herbaccous plant species that is found on limestone cliffs in southeastern Minnesota and westem New York. and on rocks slopes at high elevations (3,000 m. or - 10.000 At) in Colorado. In Minnesota and New York. the plants are sprawling and have -drooping leaves, whereas in Colorado the plants are erect and hold their caves upright. a.
