message: Hi all, new here. I wanted to suggest an addition of information about fire adaptability of Douglas fir. Perhaps it could be nested under the Ecology heading, or have its own heading. Here are two potential sources:

message: A common mistake is to write as if a disease and the pathogen are the same thing.  They are completely different. https://forestpathology.org/general/names/#pathogen-not-disease  So sentences like "Fungi such as Laminated root-rot and shoestring root-rot can cause significant damage" is like a poke in the eye to a reader who knows better.  One could substitute 'Diseases' or 'Fungal diseases' for 'Fungi' and be correct.  (By the way, 'Laminated' should be lower-case.  Disease names are almost universally written lower-case except when a genus name forms part of the disease name.)
A related error that is regrettably common is to refer to common and scientific names of diseases.  Diseases don't have "scientific" names.  Almost invariably the writer really means disease and pathogen names, respectively.

message: Certainly you can put the needles/leaves into hot water to make a flavored hot drink, but is every flavored hot drink a coffee substitute? I guess it depends on how you think about it, and maybe also on how badly you wish you had some coffee. :)
(When I put leaves in a pot with hot water, drink the resulting liquid, and throw away the wet leaves, I usually call it tea, but of course that's false terminology too unless the leaves are from Camellia sinensis.)
If people in the area were already drinking Douglas-fir-needle-water before they ever heard of coffee, I think that would at least come close to showing that this is its own thing. Then again, maybe I'm wrong. TooManyFingers (talk) 16:39, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
