2010-11-14 Lower Austria, district Sankt Plten Land, bordering on district Baden (beech-fir-forest, 760 m AMSL).Due to game bite, fir trees are at a huge disadvantage in many Austrian forests where game population is higher than could be sustained by natural resources (it is kept high on purpose by foresters and hunters) - because even though deer also likes buds of beeches they love fir.For this reason young firs often have to struggle to grow to sizeable heights, and after them beeches are the ones which are second-worst off, while spruce is avoided by deer so long as more delicate buds are available.I've counted 6 years on this one at least, possibly even 7 years: so this tree is 6-7 years old - 8 years rather (see note by Sciadopitys) - , and could easily be half a metre tall, or taller depending on weather/climate and soil, while as it is it measures only about 10 centimetres. What more, this tree of course never will grow to have an 'ordinary' fir stem but always will remain a cripple, however tall it ever will grow - but see remark by Sciadopitys: it might still grow to normal size and shape. German name: Weiss-Tanne (Abies alba)Other species shown in the photo: some (green) leaves of Cyclamen purpurascens, and then the shed leaves of Fagus sylvatica which is the dominant tree species thereabouts.

2011-12-25 Upper Austria, district Rohrbach - Ameisberg region (740 msm Quadrant 7448/2).Fir usually will grow straight up like a needle if undisturbed; this one here though grew at angles - due to a twin (which also, most certainly, arced to the sky rather than growing straight); this here is the stump of the twin which must have been cut several years ago, by the weathered look of it.

This relatively young (estimated to be about 30 feet tall) Abies concolor is so far the lowest elevation example that I have been able to find in our area, and is lower than reported in our floras (however see below). There were only two other trees of this species in the area, these much taller and fully mature.There is a record of a tree occurring at just over 4,000 ft. (1220 m) in southern Utah from San Juan Co. and also in Washington Co. at around 4,300 ft. (1310 m). So even the Utah Flora series reported lower limit of 1525 meters requires adjustment.There are however records of the species occurring at much lower elevation in other western states, principally in Oregon (in the 400 to 800 meter range). The Flora of North America reported lower limit of 1700 meters is inaccurate.June 25, 2009, Cottonwood Heights, Utah at 4850 ft. (1475 m).

Valle de Benasque: Pirineo aragons (Espaa)Familia: PINACEAEDistribucin: Endmica de las montaas del C Europa, Pirineos, desde Navarra hasta Lrida, y Montseny, en Barcelona; en Aragn se distribuye desde el extremo N de Zaragoza, en Salvatierra de Esca, hasta el lmite oriental del Pirineo de Huesca, repartindose sobre todo por el Prepirineo y alcanzando a menudo el Alto Pirineo.Hbitat: Se instala en lugares hmedos y umbrosos, muchas veces en laderas de fuerte pendiente y frecuentemente en compaa del pino albar y del haya, pero a diferencia de sta, prefiere lugares con suelos profundos, frescos y bien drenados porque soporta mal tanto el encharcamiento como la desecacin edfica prolongada; en el Pirineo aragons se extiende por las laderas septentrionales del piso montano y rara vez asciende al subalpino, como hace con frecuencia en Lrida.Aunque por lo comn aparece en bosques mixtos con las especies mencionadas, pueden contemplarse bosques casi puros, salpicando todo el sistema montaoso (Paco Ezpel en Ans, Cotatuero en Ordesa, Sierra Ferrera, etc). Su ombrofilia se acenta hacia el S y en San Juan de la Pea y Sierra de Guara, busca ya el fondo de los barrancos ms protegidos de la influencia mediterrnea.Preferencia edfica: Indiferente. Vive tanto en granitos y esquistos como en calizas, margas y conglomerados calizos del cretcico.Rango altitudinal: ( 740 ) 900- 1940 ( 2020 ) mFloracin: Abril - MayoFructificacin: Septiembre - OctubreForma Biolgica: Macrofanerfito perennifolioExtractado del Atlas de la Flora de Aragn (Herbario de Jaca)
