Austrian Pine

Conifers and Other Gymnosperms

Austrian Pine, also called Black Pine, is a pine native to mountainous regions of southern and southeastern Europe and parts of Asia Minor, including Austria, the Balkans, Italy and Turkey. It is a robust, dark barked tree that can reach 30 to 40 meters in height, with dense, dark green needles and stout branches that give it a heavy, formal appearance. The species tolerates poor soils, wind and urban pollution better than many other pines, which has made it a widely planted ornamental and windbreak tree far outside its native range, including extensively in North America. Several geographically distinct subspecies are recognized across its range, differing in needle length and cone shape.

1. Pinus nigra (Wikipedia)

Lead, sentence naming the group it belongs to
Pinus nigra, the European black pine, is a moderately variable species of conifer in the family Pinaceae, a pine native across Southern Europe from the Iberian Peninsula and Lower Austria to the eastern Mediterranean, on the Anatolian peninsula of Turkey, Corsica and Cyprus, as well as Crimea and in the high mountains of Northwest Africa.
human interaction statement
In New Zealand it is considered an invasive species and noxious weed, along with lodgepole pine (P. contorta) and Scots pine (P. sylvestris), due to their habitat conversion nature in tussock grassland plant communities, shading out the native bunch grasses as their forest canopy develops.

Quote, Lead, whole group is photosynthetic

They are predominantly photosynthetic or came from photosynthetic ancestors, meaning that they obtain their energy from sunlight by using the green pigment chlorophyll in their chloroplasts to produce sugars from carbon dioxide and water.
