Sequoia Sempervirens: California Redwood

Sequoia Sempervirens is the sole living species of the genus Sequoia in the Cypress family. It is an evergreen, long-lived, monoecious tree living 1,200–2,200 years or more. This species includes the tallest living trees on Earth, reaching up to 379 ft in height. These trees are also among the oldest living things on Earth. Before commercial logging and clearing began by the 1850s, this massive tree grew along most of coastal California. Redwood forests provide unique environments with heavy seasonal rains and cool coastal air. The soil contains less nutrients than the trees require, causing them to depend heavily on the entire biotic community of the forest, and making efficient recycling of dead trees especially important. It has been exploited extensively as a source of lumber but is now largely protected in national parks and reserves.
