When there are forest fires, they crack open the resin so that the seeds can be planted and so they can grow, and then more trees will be planted. This cycle will go on, and on, and on, so that the trees can live for hundreds of years. ]]> 2021-09-16 16:54:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mwheeler36/xyi3jqz41srad7gq/wish/1746549020 Organisms In Pine Barren https://padlet.com/mwheeler36/xyi3jqz41srad7gq/wish/1748622098 Some organisms that can be found in Pine Barren are bald eagles, red tailed fox, falcons, screech owls, white tailed deer, black bear, flying squirrels, and a lot of different fish and water animals. ]]> 2021-09-17 13:09:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mwheeler36/xyi3jqz41srad7gq/wish/1748622098 https://padlet.com/mwheeler36/xyi3jqz41srad7gq/wish/1749258603 The pitch pine has thick, fireproof bark and its cones open and release seeds when they are exposed to fire.

The seeds then plant and grow so the forest stays full, even after the most intense wild fires. Fire can also be important to the forests because it allows things to regrow and strengthen over and over again. That way the forests can stay healthy and alive for long periods of time.]]> 2021-09-17 17:26:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mwheeler36/xyi3jqz41srad7gq/wish/1749278662 Landscape https://padlet.com/mwheeler36/xyi3jqz41srad7gq/wish/1749301627 Some people like arsonists try to destroy the landscape, and some people have started logging, and leaving stuff around to burn.]]> 2021-09-17 17:38:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mwheeler36/xyi3jqz41srad7gq/wish/1749301627 Two organisms that live in pine barren 2023zsturgi https://padlet.com/mwheeler36/xyi3jqz41srad7gq/wish/1749307299 Beaver, Pine warbler]]> 2021-09-17 17:40:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mwheeler36/xyi3jqz41srad7gq/wish/1749307299 forests 2023ezanibo https://padlet.com/mwheeler36/xyi3jqz41srad7gq/wish/1752115905   Pine barren plants have adapted to fires that burn in brush/ under brush because some trees have a natural protection form smaller fires.]]> 2021-09-19 17:26:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mwheeler36/xyi3jqz41srad7gq/wish/1752115905
