2010-06-25 Lower Austria, district Neunkirchen (Gloggnitz greywacke hills, 810 m AMSL).German name: (sterreichische) SchwarzfhreThe cuts in the tree trunks you see here show that pine resin has been extracted. The method is described on this
German Wiki page.Only a couple of decades ago the profession of Pecher still was practised in Lower Austria (these trees are proof of that too; actually, those cuts might even be younger than 10 years); nowadays you only see fresh cuts near Hernstein (close to the town of Bernstein, Lower Austria) where they keep up the tradition for tourists - it is no longer profitable as synthetic materials replace natural resin.Here on this place, or so it seems, it has been given up some years ago.Trees do suffer from the treatment, but they survive it all right; timber from those trees however is of minor quality.

2010-10-10 Hungary, Nyugat-Dunntl - Western Transdanubia, county Vas (840 m AMSL).This place lies a short distance below rott-k - Geschriebenstein peak; the foreground is a more or less natural spruce-beech-fir forest - with Fagus sylvatica and spruce shown in the photo -, while in the background you can see spruce monoculture - Picea abies - older than the (now dismantled) Iron Curtain (trees at least 60-80 years old, many a hundred or more).Even though the Austrian border is not far you can only see Hungarian territory here.So while the forests on the Hungarian side of this mountain are more natural by magnitudes than those on the Austrian side there are still a few monocultures there.

Sub-Alpine Fir(Abies lasiocarpa) is easily Identified by its extremely narrow, spire like crown. They also have a very crisp, pungent smell. It is a general rule that the higher in elevation a tree grows, the narrower its crown. An obvious adaption to the higher snowfall at high elevation. And as its name implies, these trees only grow up high, usually above 7,500ft, to tree line(11,000ft).
