Bristlecone Pine
El pino longevo de la Gran Cuenca es el árbol individual más antiguo conocido en la Tierra, pudiendo vivir más de 5.000 años en los duros ambientes subalpinos azotados por el viento de las Montañas Blancas de California y la región de la Gran Cuenca. Su longevidad extrema está vinculada a un metabolismo lento, madera densa resinosa resistente a la putrefacción e insectos, y las duras condiciones de gran altitud que limitan la competencia. Los registros de anillos de los pinos longevo han proporcionado un valioso registro proxy climático que se extiende miles de años hacia atrás.
