Medvědí Hora
Medvědí hora (formerly also known as ''Medvězí''; ) is a mountain in the Hrubý Jeseník mountain range in the Czech Republic. It has an elevation of Height above mean sea level, above sea level. It is located in the municipality of Loučná nad Desnou. Location Medvědí hora is located in the central-western region of the Hrubý Jeseník range, situated in the north-western area (microregion) called the Praděd Mountains and positioned on a branch extending from the side ridge of the Praděd Mountains, stretching from mountain to the Vlčí sedlo pass. For this reason, it is an indistinct summit, difficult to recognize against the backdrop of the entire Dlouhé stráně massif. A certain element that allows the summit to be located is the three visible towers – wind turbines located close to the summit, which are part of the ''Mravenečník'' wind farm. The summit is visible from the road surrounding the summit area of Praděd mountain, where it emerges below the li ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dlouhé Stráně
Dlouhé stráně () is a mountain in the Hrubý Jeseník mountain range in the Czech Republic. It has an elevation of Height above mean sea level, above sea level. It is located in the municipality of Loučná nad Desnou. History Until 1978, the summit area of Dlouhé stráně had a dome-shaped appearance, with the peak at an elevation of 1,350.3 m above sea level. At that time, the government of Czechoslovakia decided to initiate the construction of the upper reservoir for the Dlouhé stráně Hydro Power Plant, which led to a significant alteration of the mountain's appearance. The upper reservoir was built by "cutting off" the summit of the mountain and using the excavated material to expand the base of the reservoir. Description Location Dlouhé stráně is situated in the central-western part of the Hrubý Jeseník mountain range, specifically in the northern-western area called the Praděd Mountains. It is located on an arc-shaped side ridge that extends from Huber ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Birch
A birch is a thin-leaved deciduous hardwood tree of the genus ''Betula'' (), in the family Betulaceae, which also includes alders, hazels, and hornbeams. It is closely related to the beech- oak family Fagaceae. The genus ''Betula'' contains 30 to 60 known taxa of which 11 are on the IUCN 2011 Red List of Threatened Species. They are typically short-lived pioneer species and are widespread in the Northern Hemisphere, particularly in northern areas of temperate climates and in boreal climates. Birch wood is used for a wide range of purposes. Description Birch species are generally small to medium-sized trees or shrubs, mostly of northern temperate and boreal climates. The simple leaves are alternate, singly or doubly serrate, feather-veined, petiolate and stipulate. They often appear in pairs, but these pairs are really borne on spur-like, two-leaved, lateral branchlets. The fruit is a small samara, although the wings may be obscure in some species.

Alnus Glutinosa
''Alnus glutinosa'', the common alder, black alder, European alder, European black alder, or just alder, is a species of tree in the family (biology), family Betulaceae, native plant, native to most of Europe, southwest Asia and northern Africa. It thrives in wet locations where its association with the bacterium ''Frankia alni'' enables it to grow in poor quality soils. It is a medium-sized, short-lived tree growing to a height of up to 30 metres (98 feet). It has short-stalked rounded leaves and separate male and female flowers in the form of catkins. The small, rounded fruits are cone-like and the seeds are dispersed by wind and water. The common alder provides food and shelter for wildlife, with a number of insects, lichens and fungi being completely dependent on the tree. It is a pioneer species, colonising vacant land and forming mixed forests as other trees appear in its wake. Eventually common alder dies out of woodlands because the seedlings need more light than is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Abies Alba
Firs are evergreen coniferous trees belonging to the genus ''Abies'' () in the family Pinaceae. There are approximately 48–65 extant species, found on mountains throughout much of North and Central America, Eurasia, and North Africa. The genus is most closely related to '' Keteleeria'', a small genus confined to eastern Asia. The genus name is derived from the Latin "to rise" in reference to the height of its species. The common English name originates with the Old Norse ''fyri'' or the Old Danish ''fyr''. They are large trees, reaching heights of tall with trunk diameters of when mature. Firs can be distinguished from other members of the pine family by the way in which their needle-like leaves are attached singly to the branches with a base resembling a suction cup, and by their cones, which, like those of cedars, stand upright on the branches like candles and disintegrate at maturity. Identification of the different species is based on the size and arrangeme ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tilia
''Tilia'' is a genus of about 30 species of trees or bushes, native throughout most of the temperateness, temperate Northern Hemisphere. The tree is known as linden for the European species, and basswood for North American species. In Great Britain and Ireland they are commonly called lime trees, although they are not related to the citrus Lime (fruit), lime. The genus occurs in Europe and eastern North America, but the greatest species diversity is found in Asia. Under the Cronquist system, Cronquist classification system, this genus was placed in the family Tiliaceae, but genetic research summarised by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group has resulted in the incorporation of this genus, and of most of the previous family, into the Malvaceae. ''Tilia'' is the only known ectomycorrhizal genus in the family Malvaceae. Studies of ectomycorrhizal relations of ''Tilia'' species indicate a wide range of fungal symbionts and a preference toward Ascomycota fungal partners. Description ''T ...
