The Pinophyta, also known as Coniferophyta or Coniferae, or commonly as conifers, are a division of vascular land plants containing a single extant class, Pinopsida. They are gymnosperms, cone-bearing seed plants. All extant conifers are perennial woody plants with secondary growth. The great majority are trees, though a few are shrubs. Examples include cedars, Douglas firs, cypresses, firs, junipers, kauri, larches, pines, hemlocks, redwoods, spruces, and yews.[1] As of 1998, the division Pinophyta was estimated to contain eight families, 68 genera, and 629 living species.

Pinus albicaulis: "...whitebark pine is native to northwestern United States and southwestern Canada, where it grows in subalpine high elevation mountains marking the tree line. This species protects watersheds, regulates snowmelt runoff and its roots stabilise rocky and poorly developed soils, preventing soil erosion. For these reasons, whitebark pine is considered both a keystone species in these high mountain ecosystems. This species belongs to the group of pines known as the ‘bird pines’, they have wingless seeds and therefore rely on animal dispersal rather than wind. One of its main distributors is the Clark’s nutcracker (Nucifraga columbiana). Clark’s nutcrackers have strong bills that can extract the seeds from their cones, they consume or cache the seeds and those not retrieved from caches by the time the snow melts may germinate and become established as seedlings. The large nutlike seeds of this species are high in fat and protein and are an important food source for many other birds and mammals. Whitebark pine populations have declined over the past 60 years due to two anthropogenic problems, the introduction of white pine blister rust fungus (Cronartium ribicola) and the changes in fire regimes, which are complicated further by increases in the native mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) populations."
