This is a longleaf pine tree that is located in the forest on the back end of campus. You can see that the tree has evidence of being burned. Fire is an important role in the longleaf pine ecosystems so they show the ecological process of resilience towards fires and even thrive off of them. The trees have a type of bark that is a almost asbestos-like bark that makes the trees fire resistant. Once the fire has burned out, the grounds surrounding the trees hold more nutrients and necessary materials for the longleaf pine forests to revive itself.
