- Habitat and Distribution: Red pine is well-suited to the climate and soil conditions found in Michigan. It typically grows in sandy soils and is often found in mixed forests alongside other species such as white pine and jack pine. Red pine is prevalent in the northern parts of Michigan, including the Upper Peninsula and the northern Lower Peninsula.
- Ecological Importance: Red pine forests provide important habitats for a variety of wildlife species. They offer shelter and food for birds, mammals, and insects. The trees also play a role in soil stabilization and water regulation in their ecosystems.
- Economic Value: Red pine is valued for its wood, which is used in construction, paper production, and as a source of timber. The species is often planted in managed forests for commercial purposes due to its straight growth and high-quality wood.
