Storm Damage
As the weather becomes more extreme due to climate change I am seeing more of things like this. These are red pines, Pinus resinosa, on Dolly Sods.

Canaan Mountain
A red pine, Pinus resinosa, and companion red spruce, Picea rubens. The one on the far left and the tree on the far right in the distance is a hemlock, Tsuga canadensis. That these spruce are clustered around the red pine is no accident. This is a harsh and nutrient poor environment. The red pine offers some meager shelter but probably more significant is the soil enrichment provided by its fallen decaying needles. You can see that the red pine is itself struggling and might not survive many more years.
This is the headwaters bog for Red Run which tumbles its way down the mountain to the Dry Fork, downstream from Hendricks.
