..., the area was vegetated with redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) , Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) , and interior expanses of grassland and grass-oak woodland. Since 1870, the region has undergone progressively more intensive land use. Cattle and sheep grazing on the prairies became widespread by the 1870's...

... ). Sequoia sempervirens also cannot survive temperatures below −17 °C ( Sakai, 1971 , 1983 ), and its minimum CMMT today is ∼6 °C ( Van der Burgh, 1984 ). Furthermore, there are few alternative methods for reconstructing CMMT. One method involves regressing multiple characters of leaf size and shape...

... temperature response was seen in the Sequoia wood ( Fig. 12 ). We used three fern species, Matteucia struthiopteris (L.) Tod., Osmunda regalis L., and Pteridium aquilinum L., and one coniferous species, Sequoia sempervirens (D. Don) Endler, in this study. We selected Osmunda regalis...

... sempervirens grows usually in the alluvial flats of the Coastal Range Mountains, mainly in California, in a warm-summer Mediterranean climate where summer fogs occur (Roy 1966 ).

Sequoia peaks are displaced to slightly later in the cycle. Redwood forests are best developed where fog associated with cold, upwelling waters...

... [ Sequoia sempervirens (D. Don) Endl.; MonumentalTrees.com, 2015a ], known as Hyperion, is thought to be about 600 yr old rather than 2000 (the age chosen), but, since its real age is not known, an alternate strategy had to be used. The same general remarks apply also to the Sitka spruce [ Picea...
