Thematic description and context:

Borovica lesná (sosna) je mohutný ihličnatý strom, vysoký až 40 m. Ihličie zostáva na strome 3 až 6 rokov, ale v znečistenom ovzduší iba 2 roky. Borovica sa prispôsobuje rozličným podmienkam prostredia, rastie v lesoch, na skalách i piesčinách. Poskytuje mäkké, ale trvanlivé a výhrevné drevo odolné voči vlhkosti, bohaté na živicu. Zo živice sa získava terpentínový balzam na liečebné i technické účely. Drevo sa používa na stavebné práce, na zhotovovanie stolárskych výrobkov.
