On the other hand, the maintenance of foliage throughout the winter may make pine more susceptible to winter desiccation or damage induced by frost, snow and ice (Pederson et al. 2004).

One reason lies in the pines' greater resistance to winter desiccation damage at high elevation owing to the thick coating of wax and cuticle on the surface of their needles.

The evolution of terrestriality possibly occurred beside mountain streamlets of snowy regions, where snow coverage shelters the ground surface from winter desiccation and coldness [ 51, 54].

Therefore, the establishment of snowy regions may have paved the way for these organisms from freshwater to land via mountain streamlets by preventing winter desiccation in mountain valleys.

Because snow coverage maintains stable temperatures and high humidity on the ground surface, heavy-snow conditions may have paved the way for these organisms from freshwater to land via mountain streamlets by preventing winter desiccation in mountain valleys.
