Pinus Uncinata - Version 2015.2 [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
[Excerpt] This species is widespread and unlike Pinus mugo ssp. rotundata, with which it has been confused, it is not extensively threatened by drainage and afforestation (with Norway Spruce) of its habitat. It is therefore listed as Least Concern. [::Common Name(s)] [::] English - Mountain Pine [::] French - Pin à crochets [::] Spanish - Pino Negro [::Range Description] Recorded across a large part of western Europe: NE Spain, Pyrenees, France; Auvergne Mts. (possibly introduced), Alps, Jura, Vosges, Germany; Böhmerwald, Erzgebirge. The extent of occurrence is in excess of the thresholds for any threatened category.The area of occupancy is unknown. [::Countries] Native: France; Germany; Spain [::Population] The population is thought to be stable. [::Habitat and Ecology] This is a pine of wet moors in west European mountains and typical for the association Pinetum uncinatae Kastn., Flössn. et Uhlig (= Vaccinio uliginosi-Mugetum Oberdorfer). This association has only Pinus uncinata as a characteristic species, but it is usually accompanied by various species of Vaccinium, by Calluna vulgaris, Eriophorum vaginatum, and some oligotraphent species of Sphagnum like S. recurvum and S. magellanicum, most of these with a high presence in the vegetation. Pinus uncinata occurs naturally at altitudes of between 600 and 1,600 m a.s.l. In the Alps and Pyrenees it grows on moist slopes up to the tree line; in the Alps it is confined to the western and northwestern ranges that are much wetter than the central and southern Alps. Here it sometimes grows with Picea abies or Pinus sylvestris; in the Pyrenees the spruce is naturally absent. [::Use and Trade] Mountain Pine is not commercially important; its main value is ecological and it has some significance as an ornamental tree. The wood is used as fuel and is suitable for light construction, but as this species grows slowly and remains small the yield is limited. Its only commercial use is located in the Pyrenees, where fairly extensive stands exist. Some of the wood is excellent for special uses like turnery, woodware and musical instruments due to its relative density and hardness. It is uncommon in cultivation and restricted to local parks and further afield to some botanic gardens and arboreta. [::Major Threat(s)] Possibly threatened by fires and in some places drainage of high altitude moorland for afforestation.
