Inherent variation in duct size between the three conifer species appears to determine their relative susceptibility.
There have been relatively few instances, however, of the more specific and damaging exotic pests of these conifers colonizing this new environment.
The high concentration of total sugars in larch reflects dormant season storage in the bark of this deciduous conifer.
Within this area, much of its former range has been lost to conifer plantations and some to agricultural conversion.
When feeding occurs on young conifer transplants, this weevil causes significant economic damage.
This unique community structure probably reflects the distinct chemical defences of this tree species compared to the other conifer species.
The relationship between leaf longevity and growth ring markedness in modern conifer woods and its implications for palaeoclimatic studies.
Nevertheless, in many cases the woods produced by deciduous and evergreen conifers may be distinguished from one another on the basis of percentage skew values.
