Lodgepole Pines, Lyell Fork of the Merced River, Yosemite National Park is a black-and-white photograph taken by Ansel Adams in 1921. It is one of the photographs that he took at the beginning of his career, when he was following pictorialism , a style inspired by painting, that he soon would abandon for a more realistic approach to photography.
Pinus contorta, with the common names lodgepole pine and shore pine, and also known as twisted pine, [3] and contorta pine, [3] is a common tree in western North America. It is common near the ocean shore and in dry montane forests to the subalpine , but is rare in lowland rain forests .
Western white pine and lodgepole pine grow up to about 8,960 feet (2,730 m). The whitebark pine survives in the form of short, stubby krummholz to as high as 9,650 feet (2,940 m). [7] A specimen of the Lake Tahoe lupine (Lupinus meionanthus) has been identified at the summit of Round Top. [8]
Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta ssp. murrayana), which occurs in vast stands in the upper montane zone, is found mostly in mixed stands in subalpine woodland, particularly with whitebark pine. Lodgepole is not usually found near tree line, although it does occasionally form krummholz. [2] [10] Western white pine (Pinus monticola) can be found in ...

Black spruce (Picea mariana) and white spruce (Picea glauca) are the two most common trees, with lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta subsp. latifolia) being found in very dry or burnt sites. South-facing, low elevation slopes are often characterised by grassland communities.
Pinus contorta subsp. latifolia Lodgepole Pine; Pinus flexilis (Limber Pine) Pinus monticola (Western White Pine) Pinus mugo (Mountain Pine) - introduced; Pinus nigra (European Black Pine) or Austrian Pine - introduced; Pinus ponderosa (Ponderosa Pine) Pinus resinosa (Red Pine) Pinus rigida (Pitch Pine) Pinus strobus (Eastern White Pine)
The use of fire in this region made it possible for big stands of lodgepole pine to take hold. In the sub-alpine zone of the mountains spruce and fir predominate, and they are succeeded near the timber line by larch, whitebark pine, limber pine and bristlecone pine. The bristlecone pine has been discovered to be the oldest living thing.
