Freshly burned Jack Pine forest Pinus banksiana and large Red Ant hill Northern Michigan USA
Freshly burned Jack Pine Forest Pinus banksiana Northern Michigan USA This species of tree is fire dependent to spread its seeds. This is accomplished by periodic burning of the cones. The extreme heat releases the seeds from the cones. Jack Pine Forests in northern Michigan are the preferred nesting habitat of the rare Jack Pine Warbler. Newly constructed Red Ant hills are visible as well. By Carol Dembinsky Dembinsky Photo Associates www dpaphoto com
