Fagion-sylvaticae Luquet

Beech wood, DE: Buchenwald

Slo.: bukov gozd, poškodbe po žledu

 

Dat.: March 18. 2016

Lat.: 46.19221 Long.: 13.75602

Code: Bot_937/2016_IMG9721

 

Habitat: moderately steep mountain slope, southwest aspect, cretaceous clastic (flysh) bedrock; relatively thick soil layer; elevation 700 m (2.300 feet); average precipitations 2.000-2.600 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region.

 

Place: Southeast from Mt. Žabijski vrh, 772 m (2.533 feet) east of town Tolmin, East Julian Alps, Posočje, Slovenia EC.

 

Comment: When raindrops formed in a layer of relatively warm air high above the ground fall into a lower layer of cold air (below 0 deg C) they do not freeze immediately. For a certain period of time they can have below-freezing temperature but still remain liquid. When such drops touch tree branches, or power lines or other cold objects they freeze instantaneously. This meteorological phenomenon is known as freezing rain or glaze frost. Ice layer starts to develop on all cool enough surfaces. If the layer of ice is thick and heavy enough damages on object may appear. This is actually happening every few years here and there in Slovenia but usually only locally. Still, some damages to trees and power lines have been experienced from time to time.

 

End of January 2014 exactly such meteorological conditions developed in some parts of the state and the ice started to accumulate. The conditions worsen next days and spread almost over the whole state. In the first two days from 50 to 170 mm (from 2 to 6.5 inches) of rain almost entirely transformed to ice layer. Tree branches trapped in heavy ice load started to break down, followed by small and later bigger trees and low voltage power lines. After five days of almost unchanged meteorological conditions the ice layer was so thick that also large trees were toppled followed by even the largest 220kV power lines and communication towers of all kinds. Beginning of February after persisting weather conditions and very high amounts of precipitations (up to 400 mm (16 inches) of rain in a few days) the state was faced with a never seen and heard off catastrophe recognized also on European level.

 

2.000 km of power lines were down. 15% of population of Slovenia was without electricity several days, a few thousand people for almost two weeks. Several railway connections were cut for several days since railway electricity lines poles were broken or lines covered by thick ice layer and therefore useless. Hundreds of roads were impassable. Over 1.000 large trees crashed down on about 90 km of freeway Ljubljana - Koper. Internet and phone lines were down. Mobile phones failed either because communication towers were down or there was impossible to charge them. About 90% of forests road (about 12.000 km) were impassable or damaged. Almost 55.000 people were engaged in rescue teams including army and 700 people from abroad as international help.

 

The biggest price was paid by forests. In Slovenia 58% of its territory is covered by forests; this is the second highest value among all European countries. In only five consecutive days 51% of them (more than 500.000 ha) were damaged. About 9.500.000 m3 of wood fall down. At worst places more than 50% of total wood volume in the forest was destroyed.

 

Pictures show how Fagion-sylvaticae (mostly Fagus sylvatica) forest near town Tolmin looked like two years later in 2016 in spite of huge efforts of community to clean forests of the country after the disaster. Think about: tiny (but many) rain drops slightly cooler than 0 deg C ..... ;-)

We had such a heavy frost on Sunday that everything was covered in amazing ice particles... this is one of my garden decorations.

its been one of those days. Going to be a busy week (sigh)

TEAD hosted a visit Jan. 30 for Brig. Gen. Heidi Hoyle, commander, Joint Munitions Command (JMC.) Hoyle met with Depot leadership and visited various mission areas to meet the workforce, discuss current operations and offer assistance in support of munitions readiness for the nation.

 

“You have a great reputation across the enterprise,” said Hoyle.

 

Hoyle personally thanked several employees throughout her visit for their contributions to TEAD’s mission to support the warfighter and presented them with a JMC’s general coin.

 

Hoyle shared JMC’s current operational posture, requirements management and ongoing synchronization efforts across the enterprise.

 

“It doesn’t matter if we are civilian or military, I see the integration across the workforce,” Hoyle said.

Comment: When raindrops formed in a layer of relatively warm air high above the ground fall into a lower layer of cold air (below 0 deg C) they do not freeze immediately.

If the layer of ice is thick and heavy enough damages on object may appear. This is actually happening every few years here and there in Slovenia but usually only locally. Still, some damages to trees and power lines have been experienced from time to time.

 

End of January 2014 exactly such meteorological conditions developed in some parts of the state and the ice started to accumulate. The conditions worsen next days and spread almost over the whole state. In the first two days from 50 to 170 mm (from 2 to 6.5 inches) of rain almost entirely transformed to ice layer. Tree branches trapped in heavy ice load started to break down, followed by small and later bigger trees and low voltage power lines. After five days of almost unchanged meteorological conditions the ice layer was so thick that also large trees were toppled followed by even the largest 220kV power lines and communication towers of all kinds. Beginning of February after persisting weather conditions and very high amounts of precipitations (up to 400 mm (16 inches) of rain in a few days) the state was faced with a never seen and heard off catastrophe recognized also on European level.

 

2.000 km of power lines were down. 15% of population of Slovenia was without electricity several days, a few thousand people for almost two weeks.
