Image Fir waves.jpg thumb 300px Winter view from Mt Garfield of fir waves on Twin Mountains New Hampshire North Twin Mountain , White Mountains New Hampshire White Mountains , New Hampshire . A fir wave is a set of alternating bands of fir tree s in sequential stages of development, observed in forest s on exposed mountain slopes in several areas, including northeastern North America and Japan . Fir waves develop by wave regeneration following wind Disturbance ecology disturbance , and is one of various types of patterned vegetation . How fir waves form Fir waves form by the ecology ecological process of wave regeneration. When a tree falls, a gap ecology gap in the canopy is formed. This exposes trees at the leeward edge of the gap to greater wind. These trees are thus more likely to die from damage and desiccation than windward trees. These leeward trees eventually die, gradually expanding the gap downwind. At the same time, young trees start to grow in the wind shadow in the windward portion of the gap, protected from the high winds by the surviving trees. The combination of dying trees at the leeward edge and regenerating trees at the windward edge results in the propagation of the fir waves in the direction of the predominant prevailing wind. The period of the waves is variable, typically about 60 years in Balsam Fir Abies balsamea . One can view these from the Appalachian Trail as it ascends the Hunt Spur of Mount Katahdin . Looking out to the Owl and the Brothers are extensive areas of this phenomenon.

Fir F lgae is an Irish language Irish term of varying definition, but generally referring to the people of the Isle of Man . It may have originated in the 10th century, and normally designated men of the Isle of Man . However, British Library iii 755.22494 glosses it i.Inse Gall indiu nowadays the Hebrides . This seems to denote changes in ethnic designation of the Norse Irish or the Gall Gaidel, perhaps in connection with the territorial changes of the Kingdom of Mann and the Isles . A number of Ulster Cycle texts mention a raid on the Fir F lgae involving the warriors C Ro and C Chulainn . Works such as Aided Con Ro , Forfess Fer F lgae , and S aburcharpat Con Culainn allude to a lost story in which the Ulaid Ulstermen raid the Fir F lgae and abduct their king s daughter Bl thnat . Evidently, C Ro carries the girl off and humiliates C Chulainn in battle when he tries to stop him, causing enmity between the two heroes.
