Saproxylic species feed on the remains of these organisms. Specialist natural enemies of these organisms stabilize communities containing many species of them in the Janzen–Connell hypothesis. These organisms only reproduce after a disturbance in the most common example of fire-mediated serotiny. The final seres (“sears”) and the climax community are dominated by these organisms at the (*) highest stratozone at the end of ecological succession. These organisms form communities called stands. The emergent layer emerges above these organisms, which cannot live north of a line of latitude or above a line of elevation that demarcates the boundary between taiga and tundra. For 10 points, name these terrestrial plants that form the canopy of a forest. ■END■
