Editing Cedrus (section)

==Ecology==
Cedars are adapted to mountainous climates; in the Mediterranean, they receive winter precipitation, mainly as snow, and summer drought, while in the western Himalaya, they receive primarily summer monsoon rainfall and occasional winter snowfall.<ref name=farjon/>  While no members of ''Cedrus'' are native to the  Americas, members of ''Juniperus'' and [[Cupressaceae]] are native and are called by the common name of "cedar".

Cedars are used as food plants by the [[larva]]e of some [[Lepidoptera]] species including [[pine processionary]] and [[turnip moth]] (recorded on deodar cedar).{{citation needed|date=January 2022}}
