My plant is the sweet birch. It is a tree. It is also called cherry birch and black birch. It reproduces through seeds during mid September through November. The seeds come in flower form. The climate is damp and very cold. The trees have to survive snowstorms. There are three types of soil they are Spodosols, Inceptisols, and Ultisols. The plant is a land plant because it stays on snowy areas. The tree is vulnerable to fires because its bark is thin and diseases.

Their are three types of soils they usually live in Spodosol,Inceptisols, and Ultisols. They reproduce with seeds during mid September to November. The seeds usually spread through wind over crusted snow. They are flower seeds.The tree's have to endure snow storms. The trees are vulnerable to ground fires because they have really thin bark. Light scorching the bottom of the tree can lower resistance to bugs or diseases. Several leaf eating bugs infest on the sweet birch. The most common ones are the tubemaker, birch skeletonizer, oriental moth, gypsy moth, and dusky birch sawfly. Things made of sweet birch are furniture, cabinetes boxes, wood ware, and millwork. The sweetbirch is a land plant. They live on solid ground with grass so its on land.

What is the cell theory?

The cell theory is a theory that states cells are the basic building block of everything, all cells come from other cells, and all organisms are made of cells.

I got this information from our fifth grade science book.
