 note = {The purpose of this study is to examine the climatic causes of wind-shaped fir trees (their shape corresponds to Yoshino's type 2) in the subalpine zone belonging to the region of Pacific side climate with no precipitation from winter monsoons. For this, the area around the summit of Mt. Kinpusan, Central Japan, was selected. Twenty surface wind distribution examples in winter and summer were analyzed in relation to the winds aloft from a synoptic climatological point of view. As a result, wind-shaped trees there are considered to be formed essentially by the drier colder prevailing winter winds closely connected with desiccation damage. The winds with precipitation or icings in winter play only the secondary role in the formation of wind-shaped trees.},
