How are trees of this species in the northern parts of its range different from those in the southern areas?

[wufactor2012]

i think it is black Tupelo , i guess the leaves darker in the north

[Sassyfras]

Pacific madrone?

Edit: Whoops, didn't put the differences... It should probably go to GinkgoBiolab.

The Specimen is.... (Click to Show Hidden Text)

a Pacific Madrone

North vs. South differences: (Click to Show Hidden Text)

Not sure if this is the answer...but the Northern trees usually produce much more seeds than their Southern counterparts in the range. Also, the Southern trees typically grow at a higher elevation vs. the Northern ones....this is because the madrone is usually less tolerant to cold and snowy weather, so it can only tolerate lower (warmer) elevations in the North rather than in the South, where it can grow at higher elevations.

If these answers aren't right, I'm curious to know the correct ones. (:

Since Barker hasn't posted answers yet, I guess I'll post. Let's make this easy (:



1) Scientific name
2)This tree no longer grows in great forest stands as it once did. Why?
