My group observed non-floweing trees in Mount Royal.
The species I found on the phylogenetic tree using OneZoom was the Northern Red Oak. The
scientific name for this tree is Quercus rubra. It falls under the Plantae kingdom, Fagales order,
Fagaceae family, Quercus genus.
None of the species I observed have common adaptations. This may be because I observed
species that have different lineages or because they don't have the same need for adaptations.
One unique adaptation for the black walnut is that it's allopathic which means that harmful
chemicals secret from its roots. This gives the Black Walnut tree an advantage by allowing it to
compete with other organisms in its environment for space or protect itself from predators.
