Due to the relatively short lifespan of closed-cone pines, many dead trunks and snags are available and attract a whole host of wildlife ranging from woodpeckers, titmice, chickadees, warblers, squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons, mountain lions, deer and many others. The lush undergrowth, typical of the forests, are excellent habitat as well.
Closed-cone conifer forests are found in small, scattered patches throughout the ecoregion, typically adjacent to maritime chaparral. Common pines are lodgepole pine ( Pinus contorta ), bishop pine ( Pinus muricata ), Monterey pine ( Pinus radiata ), and knobcone pine ( Pinus attenuata ).

While most peninsular sand pines (var. clausa) have non-serotinous, or open, cones, most of the panhandle sand pines (var. immuginata) have serotinous, or closed, cones.
