New modern plants, like conifers and fruit trees, started pushing cycads out, and the once proud population of E. Woodiis were reduced, and reduced, and reduced until there was possibly only one left.

Ever green and conifer trees reaching 30 meters high covered much of the landscape.

30米高的常绿乔木和针叶树覆盖着大部分地区。

Both types of trees produce less energy in the winter, but conifers have adaptations, such as a waxy coating to minimize water loss, that help them keep their needles year-round.

两种类型的树木在冬季产生的能量都较少，但针叶树适应性强，蜡质涂层可以尽量减少水分流失，这有助于它们全年不落叶。

But fewer fires led to denser, more flammable forests, packed with the combustible needles of young conifers and the tinder-dry branches of dead or dying trees.

然而火灾变少，森林却变得更加密集且易燃，因为那里长满了叶子，可燃的新生针叶林和枯萎腐朽的干燥易燃树枝。

Here in South America, araucaria trees or monkey puzzles are like the conifers of the Taiga.
