Giant Sequoia

Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequoiadendron


Summary: The Giant Sequoia is one of the living species in the genus Sequoiadendron. Giant Sequoias are known as the world's largest trees. The oldest one is 3,500 years old based on ring count. It usually grows in the pacific northwest and southern US. The leaves are evergreen, and it regenerates by seed. Most giant sequoias are having difficulty growing and reproducing in their habitat because of the amount of sunlight and the weather.

Critique: It's a tree so it will help give us oxygen for us to be able to breathe. And some people would grow giant sequoias for Christmas trees.

Impact: The impact that giant sequoias have on the environment is that it's provided oxygen for living creatures. It's also been able to reproduce and attract tourists.

  1. Need to show more critical thinking. All plants make oxygen. Why should we care about Giant Redwoods?
