Bristlecone Pine
A mais antiga árvore viva individual conhecida na Terra, o pinheiro-bristlecone-da-great-basin pode viver mais de 5.000 anos nos ambientes subalpinos hostis e ventosos das Montanhas White da Califórnia e da região da Great Basin. Sua longevidade extrema está ligada ao metabolismo lento, à madeira resinosa densa resistente à decomposição e aos insetos, e às duras condições de alta altitude que limitam a competição. Os registros de anéis de árvores de pinheiros-bristlecone forneceram um inestimável registro de proxy climático que remonta milhares de anos.
