The vegetation and ecology is determined by the harsh climate, with extensive snow and ...
A tree well, also known as a spruce trap, is the space around a tree under its branches that does not get the same amount of snow as the surrounding open space. This creates a void or area of loose snow below the branches and around the trunk that is dangerous to any hikers , snowshoers , skiers , snowboarders , and snowmobilers who fall into them.

Because some marcescent species' leaves do not decompose well, the increased photodegradation may allow them to decompose better once they finally fall off the tree. [20] Others theorize that leaves which remain on a tree due to marcescence allow the tree to trap snow during the winter months.
Older trees tend to be flat-topped, while young trees can vary in form from that of a large bush when open-grown, to slender with relatively small limbs when grown in a dense stand. [7] Table Mountain pine typically has long, thick limbs on much of the trunk even in closed canopy stands. [7] Male cones are 1.5 centimetres (0.59 in) long.
