Transactions and Proceedings of the Botanical Society of Edinburgh, 1919, Vol. 27 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Transactions and Proceedings of the Botanical Society of Edinburgh, 1919, Vol. 27
The absence of trees save from the very foot of the boulder screes is probably due to mechanical causes, trees being unable to maintain their existence in face of the avalanches, whether of rock or snow, which descend these gullies. The alpine meadow seeks light and air, growing in pure sand spread out by the torrent ove1° broad flats, probably silted-up rock basins carved out by former glaciers, for the previous extension of which, in the valleys alluded to,tl1ere is ample evidence; while bamboo brake thrives only in the damper, darker parts of the valley, where little sunlight penetrates, though it is hard put to it by Abies, whose fastness is the cliffs and mountain sides, encroaching° into the valley, especially where the boulder screes debouch broadly.
