PRINT A4 - Conifers
Conifers can be seen in many places in Denmark, as spruce and pine trees are the most common conifers. The trees naturally grow from south of the equator to the Arctic Circle.
In Scandinavia, Russia and northern North America there are huge, uniform stands of trees with varying growth conditions ranging from moist, rainforest-like conditions to polar-like climates at the northernmost latitudes.
Trees belonging to the spruce family are crucial to the world's supply of timber, lumber and paper. This is because they can grow on poorer soils than deciduous trees. They are also better adapted to the low light and harsh growth conditions of northern latitudes, and because of their simple structure they are easy to use for industrial purposes.
If you'd like to read more about the spruce family and its trees or learn more about a tree's structure, you can find useful information in the book "DANMARKS TRÆER OG BUSKE".
