. . . "Abies squamata is a species of conifer in the Pinaceae family.This fir is common in the Southeast of the Tibetan Plateau (China) in an altitude from 3200 m to tree-line in 4400 m. It is dominant on North-facing slopes and often grows with Balfour's spruce, Picea balfouriana. Government sector logging that was rampant until the logging ban in 1998 reduced fir stands significantly."@en . "IUCN2.3" . . "VU" . . . . .
