Hasn't voted | Thanks Marc! It's always a great pleasure to anticipate the coming season ... even when it stubbornly refuses to come, as it happens with winter season 2008-2009! | | Posted Oct 31, 2008 5:15 pm |

Voted 10/10 | That's what I wanted: tarn and trees (no trees on the opposite slope though:)) | | Posted Dec 22, 2008 4:51 pm |

Hasn't voted | The opposite slope faces North, Yatsek. Of course it would be too cold for the trees. The summit is over 4,000 m high anyway, you'd need to move it to the tropics to have any trees there :) | | Posted Dec 23, 2008 3:50 pm |

Voted 10/10 | OK where've the bushes or at least grasses gone? Is it easier for trees to take roots in this rock? Hard quarzite maybe? | | Posted Dec 23, 2008 3:55 pm |
| | MOCKBA | It isn't the rock | |
Hasn't voted | the trees colonize quartzites perfectly well at lower altitudes. No, it is the climate, too long winter, too frozen soils for the trees to thrive. | | Posted Dec 23, 2008 4:46 pm |

Voted 10/10 | Misunderstood. I was asking if it's possible that the rock makes it easier for trees and pretty hard for smaller plants with shorter roots to grow. | | Posted Dec 23, 2008 5:36 pm |
