Yellowstone National Park is almost 80% forest, with which species of evergreen tree making up a dominant 80% of that forested area?

Yellowstone is famous for its vast collection of lodgepole pine trees, The lodgepole pines of Yellowstone are amazingly well-adapted to fire, with many of them having cones that are sealed by a resin that protect them. When a lodgepole pine burns hot enough, the fire will crack the resin shell and release the seeds trapped inside.
