Description: View from the Mount Mitchell State Park observation tower at the summit of Mount Mitchell in the Appalachian Black Mountains of western North Carolina, U.S.
Damage to the Southern Appalachian spruce-fir forest is clearly visible. These spruce-fir forests in subalpine regions of the Appalachian Mountains have been damaged by introduced pests, principally the woolly adelgid, and 'acid rain' precipitation.
